#10 of 462 Another pricing option by steve_ HOST Sep 05, 2003 (8:22 pm)
Click through the Used Cars link here and look for the Customized Appraisal button. It'll give you numbers for dealer trade-in (that's wholesale to me, unless you plan to auction it), and private party sale. Plus it'll tell you what a dealer would sell it for.   Steve, Host
#11 of 462 04 grand cherokee limited by aboomer Sep 07, 2003 (5:55 am)
9/6/03 Priced out a Grand Cherokee Limited, v-8, 4dr, 4wd, leather seats. $35,100 window before rebate of 4,000. Note: Almost bought but discovered at signing it did not have heated seats (Minnesota need). the cold weather pakg is $250 and includes this. Dealer could not find this car with this option anywhere in the system within a reasonable driving distance. Found several with this option plus the power sun roof raising the price up to 36, 700. Ouch! Chryler has raised there option packages for all jeep invoiced after Aug 30th. Some have gone up so much they add another 600 1000 to the price to compensate for the rebate they don't want to be giving.
#12 of 462 Option Increase by aboomer Sep 07, 2003 (6:03 am)
Edmunds has some jeep options priced wrong, probably due to the option increase as of Aug 30th. The previous post on the jeep I had priced out at the dealer for 36,700, Edmunds says this should be about 35,100 if the buyer gets a true market value. The difference lies in that sunroof option Edmunsd says is $1,100 and the dealers are now charging $1800 - 2100 for.

Ouch - that's a hefty price bump. Guess they have to off-set the incentives somehow. Please send in a Feedback Form when you see these kinds of errors. The data people are real good at fixing them in a timely manner. Thanks!   Steve, Host

I kind of solved the price problem Steve. I work accross the street from a Chrylser dealer and they had a SE edition. Not a Laredo, not a Limited but basically in-between. It had all the equipment I was looking for less some of the equipment the Limited had that I didn't need (dual temp controls, 10 ways seats). It was deep discounted ($5400 off the sticker) so we bought it. Last, I heard that the car companies in general will be quietly upping the prices of options to make up for the heavy rebates in the immediate future.
#15 of 462 Rebates and low interest loans by aboomer Sep 12, 2003 (11:41 am)
Sorry, but I forgot to pass on that the discount included $3000 in rebates and the dealer got me 3.7% financing where the best I could find was 3.99. Purchased on 9/7/2003 Thus, right now you can get both rebates and low interest loans. My loan at 3.7 % (locked in) went up to 3.9 the following day 9/9, thus rates are starting to climb upwards slightly. If you're at all serious right now on any car, you might want to move on it sooner rather than later.
#17 of 462 New 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee by field1 Sep 28, 2003 (8:15 am)
I liked the 26F package in the 2003 (e.g., auto headlights but not the body side cladding) - compared to the T package in the 2004 so I searched out and found one of the last 2003s in the area. The MSRP was 32k and change with the sunroof, F package etc.    Offered 21,500 plus my old 97 jeep which had a bluebook value of about $4000 on a trade in. So I paid essentially $25,500 with the $3000 discount. Seemed a good deal at about $6700 below MSRP. And I got 3.6% on the loan.    Only down side is that the city mileage has been around 13 mpg which is 4 mpg below my old jeep and 3 mpg below what is listed so I am going to have them look at it. Highway is 21 mpg. Could just be that I need to break it in some more (has only 300 miles now).    Would love to hear how the new mileage is for others with a new grand cherokee.
#18 of 462 New mileage sucks by youn0813 Oct 01, 2003 (12:23 am)
I have a '04 V8 JGC Ltd. Now I have 2500 miles and the trip computer still says +/- 15 miles/gal. Even on the freeway.. However, I do get poor mileage on local roads, but on the freeway, I observed about 20 miles/gal.   Field1, does your trip monitor show the actual mileage? Because mine doesn't
#19 of 462 New Mileage by field1 Oct 01, 2003 (7:43 am)
I don't remember my 1997 6 cyl GC getting poor gas mileage at the beginning, but maybe I just didn't notice. However, for most of my memory I averaged around 18-19 mpg with 22-23 on the highway and 17 in stop and go traffic.   So it was a bit of a shock when my new GC 6 cyl started with about 12-13 around town. Right now I am trusting the gas mileage display, but on my next fillup I will know if that is accurate. Read in various places that with tight rings etc causing some friction, it needs 1000 to 3000 miles to get to its typical gas mileage.      Is your trip monitor just inaccurate? Does it not match the mileage on the odometer?
