"Zone fees"? by slices17
Jul 13, 2004 (7:01 pm)

I've been shopping for a Wrangler the last month. I went to a Jeep dealership in south Jersey last night. I got hooked up with that dealership via AutoByTel.
 
When the lady initially contacted me a few days ago, she had said that they would charge me $100 above invoice, and any current incentives and rebates will be deducted from the vehicle's price. I think that sounded great. When I was there last night though, she told me that there were also "zone fees" I had to pay.
 
Has anyone heard of these "zone fees"? I went to two other Jeep dealerships in my area and neither of them mentioned anything about "zone fees".

We've all got a story or two about dealer halftruths, lies, ripoffs, etc. I don't know what it is about jeep dealers, but they seem to be the worst I've dealt with.
 
I had several jeeps, but recently wanted to add a wrangler. I wanted to get antilock brakes. The first dealer didn't have one in stock, so he tried to tell me all Unlimiteds have ABS. They don't.
 
The next dealer had an ad that said "All Wranglers $4500 Off." Pretty sweet. So I contacted them, but they said that didn't apply to the Wrangler Unlimiteds. When I asked why an Unlimited wasn't a Wrangler with respect to their advertising, they basically starting saying I was insulting them. The guy asked if I was calling him a liar and I said if he wrote that ad or believes it, that's exactly what he is and worse.
 
I just decided I'll keep my old car a while longer because I'm tired of dealing with all the crud and will sooner or later get my jaw broken.
 
God bless the honest salepeople, but there aren't many of them.

Newbie, help, I have questions! by jcjeep

Hello everybody, planning on purchasing very soon. Checked out an x because it seems to be in my price range however I have a question on the trannies. On some of the window stickers, the vehicles had listed on options a 3.73 tranny and on others it wouldn't even list it. I am familiar with the Dana44's however does the stock come with a 3.73 or a 3.07? Very confusing. Also, the vehicle that I was looking at had rear drum brakes, and I would rather have disc. Has anyone of you had drum brakes and if so any problems? Please Please help a person who doesn't know enough. Thanks.

You should take these questions to the Jeep Wrangler board. They will jump all over the answers. Nice people there.

4 cyl vs 6 cyl by hmbtx

I want to purchase a 2005 Wrangler SE 5 speed. I will be using it 95% for commuting to work which is 10 miles each way.
 
Some weekends I will drive it on dirt roads in central TX but will not be rock climbing.
 
I'm so old I used to own a 1979 Subaru Brat with 4wd high only transfer case and it worked fine for what I needed.
 
What's your opinion?

Need advice on buying a Rubicon Unlimited by cr006f
Nov 01, 2004 (8:33 pm)

Well...am REALLY wanting to buy the Rubicon Unlimited and have just changed jobs (company car gone = Jeep buyin' time!) so I'm definitely in the market.
 
Was hoping somebody had some advice on a good dealer in the York, PA area (or Baltimore, Philly, Harrisonburg, etc).
 
Also, I've had some buddies that have had good luck at dealerships offering like $400 over the Invoice listed on Edmunds...anybody try this w/a Jeep dealer?
 
Thanks for your thoughts!
