#6 of 664 '03 Rubicon by jeepless Aug 20, 2003 (6:58 am)
I designed a Jeep in my head years ago and when I heard about the Rubicon I researched it. It was better than I designed in my head, had every option I wanted for off-roading. It's not a practical vehicle by any means (for a guy with a family of four)but it's what I wanted. I tried dealing with no less than 5 dealers and an internet leasing company in order to get payments under my mortgage payments. The model and options I wanted came to $28k. This is a Wrangler not a Grand Cherokee. There was a $1000 rebate (that's it) and the dealers told me that the invoice price on Edmunds, Autotrader and others was "way off". I guess to make a long story short I bought a Ford Ranger Fx4 Level II which started out close to the same MSRP as the Rubicon for $20,400 after rebates, incentives and price dealing. My payments are much cheaper than any lease payment that the Jeep dealers offered and I own it. It's also more practicle with a bed for the home store trips. I'm thinking that I got such a good deal (depending on deprecation) I may be able to trade this in on a Rubicon in a year or so.

I have been interested in purchasing a new wrangler and trading in my 98 JGC. I think what im being offered on my grand is fair. However, as i have been told by several dealers here in the DFW area is that wranglers are selling for MSRP minus current incentives since its "Wrangler Season" Of course ever time i have to laugh in the salesman face as its been over 100 degrees here for several weeks and i say who in there right mind will be driving with the top down in this weather. Im thinking of ordering from an online jeep place i found advertised which actually has very good prices and will only charge $300 for delivery. In Texas the auto industry is really messed up, IMO of course....

I bought my 03 Black Wrangler Sport in Jan 03'. It's equipped w/the 30"wheel pkg (gas shocks, Dana 44, Canyon wheels), limited slip, 4 wheel discs, Hardtop/softop, A/C, cruise, mats. I got it for 3.5% over invoice (Costco deal in my area).   The Wrangler has been great except the gas mileage leaves a lot to be desired but understandable given its lack of aerodynamics. Currently getting almost 18mpg w/80% hwy. All city driving has been between 14 & 15 mpg. Gotten a high of 22mpg on all freeway at about 70mph constant.   Anyhow, my dealer was eventually good but the salesperson tried the $4000 over sticker markup and such. This was even after I told him I used to sell cars (get a clue dude....LOL). I was ready to walk except they had my car keys. Finally finished the deal w/the salesmgr.   The dealership is Chrysler Town & Country in Seattle, WA.   It's a Jeep Thang, Stephen
#12 of 664 2000 Wrangler Sport by berg2 Sep 20, 2003 (7:52 am)
Is 92000 miles for a 2000 Sport beyond common sense? This is a 5sp 4L, very clean. Selling price is 10900.
#13 of 664 2000 Wrangler Sport by jefferson1964 Sep 20, 2003 (8:23 am)
IMO its sound very reasonable of course thats if its clean and in working order. However, you might want to go to www.kbb.com and enter all information on the one your considering and get an estimated price. This sight might have the same service as mentioned above so check here also. As for the mileage if the engine has been taken care of that should be fine. A good friend of mine has 150k on his cherokee I-6 and it runs good.
#14 of 664 to wrangle or not to wrangle? by baj1106 Sep 24, 2003 (12:55 pm)
I've been one of those traditionalists who always thought a wrangler was strictly for rural roads, offroading,and not for city dwellers. Im an urban city dweller and have a tahoe (too big for my needs, but a great deal on the buy) but have always been intrigued by wrangler possibly as a put-the-top-down and have fun weekend-er. Ive not driven one yet, and dont have unrealistic expectations about the ride, but I have owned chrysler products (93 grand cher, and 97 durango) with bad, bad results and swore them off forever. I've also checked pricing, and wonder if the sport / sahara models are fairly priced in the low-mid 20's, which seems high for a vehicle without a lot of substance or technology built in. these have to be big profit makers for jeep. also, I'd be doing freeway, 65+ mph driving and am a bit nervous about control and safety. I saw a girl in a wrangler few months ago do a quick swerve on the freeway just to get around a piece of tire, and almost lost it. she had to pull over to calm down. anyway, appreciate any input since im on the edge of considering. and if so, it sounds like $300 over invoice is the norm?

Have you visited the Jeep Wrangler Board? It is the one with 10,000+ posts and I think is listed just above this one in the menu.   You won't believe how much information you will find there. Nice, helpful people.   Terry
