#73 of 453 What to pay for a 2005 Grand Cherokee by golfnut7 Dec 11, 2004 (5:31 pm)
Looking for a 05 GC for my daughter. The model we are looking at is a pretty basic 2WD since she is a new driver and I was really expecting to start her out in a used vehicle but..... Current incentives are $2,000 and I figure the worst deal should $2,000 under invoice but should I expect a better deal? I've dealt with several dealers on an '05 Liberty and that is as far as I have gotten them, invoice minus rebates. Should I expect to do better on a '05 Grand Cherokee? Thanks Replies to this message: mrrnt2005 (Dec 12, 2004 9:02 pm)

Replying to: golfnut7 (Dec 11, 2004 5:31 pm) First of all, I would suggest buying a 4WD (not a 2WD) Jeep if you live in the Midwest/Northeast or any other place that it snows. I would also suggest taking a long hard look at the number of vehicles a car dealership has on the lot. Usually, the more vehicles mean the more incentives or things they are willing to give up in order to make a deal. For example, some dealers are willing to go into there hold-back money to make a deal. If not, see if they will throw in stuff, like the Sirrus radio, Nav. system, free oil changes or gas for a year,etc. Make sure though, if they do give you extras that they don't try to add it back in on the final paper (ex. 500 for etching, ad. fees) Also, they might give you the employee discount.

#75 of 453 Bad Dealer Experience by transpower Dec 18, 2004 (7:24 pm)
I went to the local Jeep dealer in Langhorne, PA for a serious test drive; my other three test drives of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee were at other dealerships and just spins around the block. This time I wanted to test the Jeep on I-95 and Route 1--places where I normally drive; I realize I can't test the Jeep off-road! I said to the salespersons that I wanted to test one with Quadra-Drive II, Wrangler tires, and either the 5.7L Hemi or the 4.7L V-8. They would not let me test the Hemi (they had two on the lot) and none of the 4.7L models had Quadra-Drive II; I knew more than the salespersons about the technical details. So I left in a huff. Jeep, Inc. has produced a beautiful brochure and a beautiful TV commercial (that I see everyday on CNBC) but the dealer won't let a prospect test drive a Hemi that's on the lot? Ridiculous for a 40K vehicle.   The last time I was at this dealer (in July 2000), they were jerks. They're still jerks now. What's funny, is that they're asking 2K above sticker for the Hemi! This contrasts with another dealer, in Philadelphia, on Route 1, that offers the Jeep with 6K off (but they won't let me test drive a Hemi either!).   So, I think I'll wait until the Dynamic Handling System becomes available in the Spring or whenever, before another attempt at a test drive. Maybe by then some of the dealers will be more cooperative.   P.S.: 1) What are the City/Highway EPA figures for the 4.7L with Quadra-Drive; it's not listed on the EPA's Web site--but I suppose it's 15/20. 2) Will the Dynamic Handling System be available for the 4.7L, or just for the 5.7L?

#77 of 453 Whistling noise on test drive? by darknight1 Dec 21, 2004 (4:38 pm)
Greetings,   I recently test drove a limited w/ hemi and the truck had a distinct whistle that changed with speed. Has anyone else noticed this (presumably wind) related issue? Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Dec 22, 2004 12:26 pm)

Replying to: darknight1 (Dec 21, 2004 4:38 pm) Since this is the pricing discussion, you'll want to speak to those who have ownership experience with this vehicle. Try Jeep Grand Cherokee problems instead.   kirstie_h Roving Host & Future Vehicles Host
#79 of 453 2005 Grand Cherokee V6 lease by mcs19 Dec 29, 2004 (1:25 pm)
I'm looking to lease a 2005 Grand Cherokee V6 for 24 months. I understand there are a lot of incentives etc. out there. I need leather, but I understand you can't get it without the extras under the x package. Can anyone shed their experiences in negotiating a really good lease on this vehicle. I'm really looking to keep the numbers to around $275/mo. (I'm willing to put down up to $2500). Is this possible? Does it pay for may to try and do this before the new year or wait till after? Any comments and guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks.
#80 of 453 Just Got My Jeep GC Hemi by hemiway Dec 29, 2004 (2:08 pm)
Just bought my 3rd Jeep GC but this time with the 5.7L Hemi. Traded in my 2001 Acura MDX for KBB trade-in value in good condition which was $3K more than their initial offer. My Jeep includes Navi/6 CD Changer, Sirius Radio, Tire Pressure Monitor, Quadra Trak II, Chrome Wheels, Entertainment Package, Adjustable pedals, Towing package, OWL tires, Back Up Monitor, UConnect Cellphone kit, and cargo tray for $39.2K which was $3K under a sticker of $42.2K. This included the $1K incentive plus another $1K incentive to finance through Chrysler. I was going to pay cash plus my trade but for the $1,000 extra off all I have to do is make 3 payments and then pay the balance off. The interest rate was 6.69% for 60 months which is why Chrysler offered the incentive. The Hemi is incredible and the new suspension and drive train for 2005 make a huge improvement in handling and ride over my two previous GCs.
#81 of 453 Great Car Bad Denver Buying Experience by denverdirt Jan 02, 2005 (12:50 pm)
Just bought with a family member a JGC from Phil Long Denver Chrysler/Jeep in Littleton, Colorado. After a very long buying process on New Years eve. a rush through the finance department, I have found charges for 2 products that were not even discussed.   The finance guy resembled a con man from the get go. Trying to explain to my 75 year old mother how lousy Jeep reliability was in order to get her to go on a extended warranty. I guess I should have been more alert after that observation but in my previous car buying experience I had yet to encounter a dishonest dealer. Now I have.   I've contacted the dealer but have yet to hear back.
#82 of 453 Didn't work out by uga91 Jan 02, 2005 (4:02 pm)
On Thursday, December 30, 2004, I was quoted a selling price of $23,500 after $2000 in rebates for a 2005 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 2 wheel drive. I know 2 wheel drive is blasphemy in Jeep land, but that's not the point. Anyway, I go in there today to buy it, and the sales manager flat out tells me he will not sell it for that price. I could not believe it. I not only walked out, but I'm now trying to figure out which state agency I need to report them to. The local Chevy dealership (I will not use their name, but they are the largest Chevy retailer in the US with stores in several states) was just fined over $180,000 by the state of Georgia for fraudulent business dealings. Maybe Carl Gregory Jeep can get some of that action. Replies to this message: paule (Jan 02, 2005 8:31 pm) gregoryc1 (Mar 21, 2005 7:56 am)
