I agree with naatz1. You can do much better.
 
Just as a reference, in September 07 I placed an order for a 2008 Limited. I was able to get invoice pricing without any problems at all. That was before the SUV market really tanked.
 
You have to consider two things:
* SUV market is not in good shape. Dealers can't give them away.
* You're buying an 08 at the end of the model year. In a few months, your brand new GC will be a year old. You should pay a bit less because of it.
 
You are in control. I love my GC. Best of luck and def. tell us what you ended up paying.
 
Oh, one last thing. If you have a trade in, make sure you don't get screwed in it. And be very careful in the F&I office. Don't buy any extras.
 
Keep in mind that you don't have to buy a Jeep extended warranty at the dealer. You can buy it at any time before your warranty expires. Just google for "Jeep warranty." Don't buy a third party warranty. If your dealer matches the internet price for the warranty you want (onlne is about half of what the dealer wants), then go for it.

Thanks! You guys just cleared my mind a lot. I'll keep pushing those dealers to give up more profits.

You can still buy the warranty online. Google for Jeep waranty. You will find numerous Jeep dealers willing to sell the factory warranty with fairly large discounts.
I have been the owner of several Jeep Grand Cherokees. I would not own one without the factory warranty. Every jeep I have owned I have saved far more than the cost of the warranty. Waranty will definitely help resale value if you sell while warranty still in effect. Whatever you do BUY WARRANTY.

2009 Grand Cherokee by paule

Has anyone bought an '09 yet? I know the deals on the '08s are pretty hard to overlook right now but I'm wondering if the '09s are out and how much they're coming off MSRP on them.
I'm not looking for another 6 months; just wondering what the initial discount people are getting on them.

Can't help you with the 09s, but here's my story from last year.
 
I started looking at an 08 last year in early September. My deal was invoice minus all rebates (I didn't have a trade in). At the time the rebates were $3000. They ended up going to $3500 plus free MyGig later.
 
Keep in mind this was BEFORE the SUV market tanking, which will work in your favor. FYI, Jeep delayed production of the 09s by a couple of weeks.
 
In 6 months, you should be able to get a sweet deal. The changes for 09 are minor (push button ignition, availability of internet, and some other minor things). So if you can live without those, you'll be able to get a great deal on a left over 08. This is specially true for the 5.7 HEMI as it got redisigned for 09 (1 better MPG).
 
Make sure you get the HID lighs. They are worth it!
 
Come back and let us know how you made out.

I am looking to buy a 2008 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4wd, 6cyl. MSRP is $31,390
I have the incentives plan through work but don't yet know how much under invoice it truely is. The dealer just gave me a price of $20,500.00. How does this sound?
From my research, I think the invoice is $28,797.00. The dealer told me today In October Jeep is giving 5500 customer cash + 500 cash.

You can always check the rebates by going to jeep.com and looking them up in Edmunds. For my zipcode (95827), the jeep website only shows $5500. According to Edmunds, the extra $500 is only for military personnel (not sure if that's you). There's also a $400 dealer cash, which for your purposes it should be treated as a rebate.
 
You can also look up the invoice price here at Edmunds. Don't forget to add the regional advertising fee (I think it was around $350/$400) to get an accurate invoice price.
 
So lets assume that your $28,797 invoice price is correct. We have the following:
 
28797 invoice
- 5500 rebate
- 500 military rebate
- 400 dealer cash
--------
22397
 
He's offering you a price of $20,500, which is $1897 under invoice. You can do better, I think. As I mentioned in a previous post, last september I got invoice price for a brand new 08. Now the 08 is a year old since the 09's are coming out, and the SUV market is really bad. I think you can do a bit better.
 
If you do have a trade in, make sure they don't screw you over on it.
 
Best of luck, and let us know how you do. We love ours, and I hope you like yours too.

08 Grand Cherokee by jettatrouble1

Trying to figure out if I am getting a good deal: $19,500 for an 08 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Rocky Mountain package (MSRP: $33K+). I'm getting a good trade price on my car.
 
Decent deal? Any tips on potential other items to consider (extended warranty price, etc.)?
 
Thanks.

If you look up the last 10 or so previous posts including one I made at 459; it would appear you are getting a good deal especially if you know the trade deal is good as well. Even though our gas in Minnesota has dropped to between $2.10-2.40 a gal and E85 close to $1.50 (I saw on TV some spots in OK are now under $2 gas, who would have thought we'd ever see that!) most of us know that is only temporary. Car dealers all over are hurting for financing and of course there are the risks/rumours of a Chrysler (Jeep) buyout by GM or foreign companies. However the Jeep brand is the most valuable they have and my dealer assured me months ago the warranties always go with the new purchaser. Note I bought the basic 70K mile added care extended warranty at purchase and got it down a few hundred doing it that day; I may have second thoughts on that now just to wait and see how all this financial stuff is handled since you can add it until 36K miles.
 
So it's nice to see people are still buying, go get a good deal! But maybe you can squeak out a few hundred more? Sheeze, last year I almost bought a Saturn Outlook and they who never drop prices found a way to get me $1500 more opening a free GM credit card and some other stuff. However we bought the Jeep and have been very happy with it after 12K miles, we just had our first minor warranty problem needing a new ignition lock cylinder but otherwise it's solid and helps me get through our yucky cold snowy winters.
