Replying to: verdugo (Feb 13, 2009 11:21 am) http://money.cnn.com/2009/02/12/autos/chrysler_lookahead/index.htm Chrysler is asking dealers to take on more inventory so that its books look healthier when they ask for more money. However, it will leave dealers with even more inventory. In the near term, Chrysler incentives will likely start going up higher this spring even as they drop for other manufacturers, Toprak said. Other manufacturers are expected to have lower inventories, he said, because their sales haven't dropped as much and they haven't pushed vehicles into dealer inventories to the degree Chrysler has. So if you don't get the price you want at the end of this month, wait until the end of next month. It also happens to be the end of quarter  I wish I was in the market right now, but my 08 Limited only has 9,000 miles.

Replying to: verdugo (Feb 13, 2009 1:50 pm) There are some dealers around me that have the vehicle I want but most do not. If they are being pressured to order vehicles, that may mean they have vehicles currently on order that they could change to my specs assuming they're still early in the build sequence. I think I'll see what I get for a price and if it's not as low as I want, I'll wait and try again in a couple of months. I don't have a problem with ordering a vehicle (in fact I almost prefer it) so I think that gives me more leverage and brings more dealers into play. Luckily I tend to keep my vehicles for about 10 years (my current GC is 11 years old) so I'm not concerned very much with residual value.

Replying to: paule (Feb 13, 2009 8:05 pm) I actually think it's the opposite. Right now the dealers want to get rid of the inventory at hand. Although, I guess selling a factory order is better than no sale. Mine was a factory order. They told me 6 weeks, and it showed up in a little bit less than 4 weeks -- and I'm in California. Best of luck.

Replying to: verdugo (Feb 13, 2009 8:11 pm) Yes, I agree you may have more leverage if the vehicle you want is in stock and the dealer is dying to get rid of it. However, I'm looking for something pretty specific and on the non-common end of things (Overland instead of a Laredo). One other thing to keep in mind is the dealer holdback. Dealer holdback on a Jeep is 3% of MSRP. 3% on a $44k vehicle equates to $1,320. If I order a vehicle, that is another $1,320 of "profit" to the dealer. If the vehicle has sat on his lot for 3 months, that amount of money has already been used up on floorplan costs. That's less profit to the dealer but even more reason to get rid of it so he can stop paying floorplan interest. Thanks! |

I live near Seattle and see a dealer website listing a new 2008 Laredo with Online Price of $27,021 and MSRP of $32,120. It's the lowest end Laredo, with cloth interior and lists the options as: (26E) Quick Order Package 26E (APA) Monotone Paint Application (F7) Cloth Low Back Bucket Seats (NAA) Federal Emissions (YEP) Manufacturer's Statement of Origin We looked at some at a different dealership yesterday and were told about the Employee Pricing ++ and that was included in the pricing they were advertising. I wasn't sure how much to negotiate under that amount but from what I'm reading it seems the 4500.00 current rebate offer should be in addition to that? Am I assuming correctly? All said, what could I expect to pay for the one I listed above? We're paying cash so no financing involved. Any suggestions are helpful as we're getting ready to purchase since we've added a 3rd driver to the family and miss having an SUV. Loved my 1998 Grand Cherokee Laredo but sold that a few years ago. Ready for another!

Replying to: ronaldc (Feb 02, 2009 4:20 pm) Is it worth calling Chrysler Financial to make that offer firm?
