OK...am thinking about joining the ranks of Wrangler owners. Have been in search of 2 door model but have had trouble finding one in the color and equipped like I would like. Just wondering, from other's experience, if you special order exactly as you want, how much is the dealer willing to work on price. Common sense tells me that you are going to get a better price dealing on instock inventory, but not sure how much better...is the offset enough to give up some things you want on the Jeep? Have a ton of other questions, as well, as to how to equip if I do order...will post those in the appropriate forum(if I can find it!)

The longer he holds possession of a unit the more it costs him, hence the desire to shift existing stock. However, an ordered unit is an easy number in the books and has no associated costs attached to it. Just say what you want to pay (within reason) for an ordered vehicle and be prepared to walk if they won't meet your price." |

The Rubicon only came into being by being inspired by guys who did their own mods to make their jeeps more capable. These guys would say real jeeps are built not bought! I do admire someone doing their own work and especially cool is fabricating your own parts. In this way the Jeep world is a little like Harleys Every vehicle has limitations just stay within yours and have fun. You'll have fun doing the mods and talking about them with fellow wrenchers. Personally I own a Rubicon---I've wrenched for a living all my life so I don't mind someone else doing the work! ha ha! Enjoy your Wrangler |

| Just purchased a 4 dr Silver Sahara 4x4. It has most of the options except navigation and dvd. MSRP was $31,5k and I got it for $30,2K. Dealer was stuck on $30,5K, but finally able to get a little extra knocked off. Thought this was a good deal considering the current demand. Just wanted to pass it along. | |

I was looking to buy a 07 Unlimited and had been told on March 23rd that I could no longer order one and they wouldn't honor my Chrysler affiliate rewards pricing either on the units they had on their lot. I called another dealer some 50 miles away and they said I can order a new unit and can use affiliate pricing. They really didn't sound to sure on the phone though, "I'm pretty sure you can" the salesperson told me. Does anyone have any information.

Replying to: jerrymcshane1 (Mar 26, 2007 7:47 am) Just a couple of points I'd take issue with. First, it really is unrealistic to expect a new model from any manufacturer to be widely available at invoice pricing. Second, it's possible to buy a Wrangler at or below invoice right now. It all depends on the geographical location of the dealer and the business model he's using. Finally, whether you buy at $1000 below invoice or $1000 over MSRP makes no difference to DC. Volume of sales is all DC cares about, and at the moment they can't keep up with demand. Do I sense some kind of personal issue here?

Replying to: jerrymcshane1 (Mar 26, 2007 10:09 am) In general terms, I can't imagine why any manufacturer of any product would want to sell it for less than the optimum return. If you can sell all you can make, and there's a ten to twelve week delay in fulfilling current orders, why would you hand out rebates or reduce the price? All that would happen is that the number of orders would increase and the delay would lengthen, while reducing the income to the manufacturer. The time to reduce prices is when supply starts to exceed demand, not the other way around. Anyhow, I still don't understand what DC is doing to ""screw" these potential buyers into the ground".
