2007 Ordered wrangler by caudill

My wife and I recently attempted to purchase a 2007 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited from about 5 seperate dealers. Most had little information on the differences and similarities between the new models, and they could hardly tell us options and costs. Finally we got some facts and were surprised at how rude dealers were about the price. All but one told us "They won't go for less than sticker" some remarked "Hey, some dealers are marking them above sticker!"
DON'T PAY STICKER OR ABOVE!!!!!
We bought our 2007 Wrangler Sahara with Sirus radio, floor mats, tow group, and limited slip. We paid 500 over invoice, dealer gave us a copy, we were flexible on time so we ordered the exact one we wanted.
 
MAKE SURE you dont buy from dealers trying to swindle you into paying over sticker. Pretty soon dealer lots will be flooded with Wranglers and all will be dealing. If anyone is interested the dealership we bought from was less than 30 miles from our home in New Mexico.

Hi Stevebo777,
That sounds like a great deal and for sure you should go with that deal. No doubt about that!
I am trying to get an invoice or under invoice deal for a 07 Unlimited or Sahara, but most dealership still want to make a buck on the mark up. How did you find the dealer that went under invoice price? And how did you dealt with 36 dealers online?
I am tried all these” under invoice” web sites, but they are bogus, as they link to the same dealers and I had to get back to each of them, that I am not interested in the MSRP price.
 
Every tip would be very welcome,
Thanks.

Caudill,
 
Also I am located in California, I would be interested in the dealership , that you got your deal for the 2007 wrangler from.
I am looking right now into all kind of possibilities to avoid a high mark up on a new wrangler.
Thanks

Prices are all over the place at the moment. Invoice at best, to $6k ADM at worst.
 
The best way to get a good deal is to wait until supply matches demand. It's hard to blame the dealer if people are willing to pay silly mark-ups just to be first on the block.
 
Waiting a while is also a good way to avoid the teething troubles that every new model has.

How do you get the dealerships to give you a quote over e-mail? I've tried twice and they want me to setup a meeting with them in person, which I know will be nothing more than a high-pressure sales call.

You can't make them do anything, but you'll increase your chances of a quote if you email say fifty, instead of two.
 
With a vehicle that's only just hit the streets, and with demand higher than supply, it isn't exactly a buyers market if you want a bargain.
 
Give it a while.

Thanks. I decided to wait until the Spring - hopefully the demand will settle-down and I'll get a better deal.

Buying a 2007 Wrangler... by ness923

Ok... just recently had a Jeep test drive... test drove a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and a Jeep Compass. Not to happy with the Compass... I would have been if the thing came with a 6 cyl option.
 
Anyways! I drove the Wrangler and had the best experience ever... I live in NY currently, so of course i didnt take it off road. Here's the deal... I am moving to CA in Jan and seriously want to purchase a wrangler... The model i feel may be right for me is the Wrangler X, with regular tires (to get back and forth from work in CA) and not pay a large amount considering I am new such a type of vehicle.
 
I wanted to know... is the Wrangler X, Auto, capable of going off road. I mean... i know it cant do what a Rubicon can... but im looking for something to take off road once a month with a close friend to New Mexico, Nevada and Arizona. Is this considered a good starter for Wranglers? Or is it soo incapable that I would be driving around a vehicle that looks like it can go off, but cant perform off?
 
Any replies would be greatly appreciated in regards to plus and minus' of a X Automatic... I really want to jump in a Wrangler X Automatic by january after my move to CA.

Excellent, you've thought about what you'll be using the Jeep for, and then picked the model most suitable for your needs, rather than just go the biggest, baddest etc.
 
You will be absolutely amazed at how capable an offroad vehicle a basic Wrangler is, even on 'street' tires. Auto vs manual is strictly a personal choice. Neither outweighs the other, either on or off road. And if you find yourself offroading more than you thought, it's easy to upgrade your tires a little.

Mac24 is correct. You would also be wise to add the anti-spin (limited slip) differential, as that will give the rear better traction than without, especially on loose surfaces like sand, snow and ice.
