Wrangler not in Costco program by dirkpitt73

I've been eyeing the new JK Wranglers and finally got a chance to drive one today - loved it! I'm looking for an X w/ 17" wheels and Sirius, that's about it. I submitted a request to the Costco Auto buying program, I've heard it's generally at or below invoice. It said there were not dealers and to call. A short phone convo later and I was told the Wrangler is excluded, at least in my state (Texas). Ugh - so, I guess I'll have to negotiate the old fashioned way.

does base X include center console? by dirkpitt73

The dealer I visited today didn't have any X's without some sort of package. If I get an X w/ just 17" wheels and maybe Sirius, will it have the lockable center console? Anyone else with a base X out there (sans "S" package) care to comment? Do you regret getting one so bare? Thanks ...

FORGET that Costco stuff. They do NOT sell Wranglers at invoice. They refer you to some local dealer and then it's like, good luck. I attempted to but via Costco and believe me it's NOT worth attempting. I found a dealer who ordered me a 2-door Rubicon, sticker #31,500. Bought at invoice.

2008 Wrangler Extended Warranty by jkhkids

I just ordered a 2008 4-door Sahara with all the available options. I was pleasantly surprised to get 0% financing. My question, is the lifetime bumper to bumper warranty worth the investment (about $2400)? I drive 15-20K miles a year and keep my cars a long time (actually my intention is to give this to my 10 year old son when he starts to drive). Having never owned a jeep what can I expect in regard to maintenance after the 3 year/36 month warranty runs out in two years?
 
I am anxiously awaiting delivery sometime after the first of the year.

NO WAY. $2400? You already have a LIFETIME drive train warranty. WHY blow $2400 on some bumper-to-bumper BS? Save your money sir. And DON'T bite on some sales person's tactics.

I don't work for this outfit but I see CarMax's LA office is advertising a new 08' Rubicon Unlimited for UNDER invoice. Sticker $34,980. Invoice, $31,812. Price, $31,459. It's a loaded unit but it's nice to see an under invoice price

$2400 is a complete steal on a lifetime bumper to bumper. If you keep your cars, get it. It's all about how long you want to hold on to them. Warranties are not for everyone, but they are a nice fit for some.
 
I just bought a 2007 Pacifica and went with an extended Warranty. They also will pay for all my oil changes for 7 years and 100k miles. I hope to have my daughters take this through HS and College and there is more to do wrong on my Pac then on your Wrangler. I did not get a lifetime, though, as they wanted too much.
 
Watch the deductable price. Mine is $100 per visit after the warranty is up.
 
I just got rid of my 2002 Suburban with 100k on it.....if it had a lifetime, I would keep it for another 100k.

One thing to remember is a Wrangler is highly prized for its modification allowing for each owner to instill their own sense of individualism on them. In other words, you may find yourself voiding any warranty when you start adding modifications like lifts or other drivetrain upgrades down the road. I'm actually approaching the end of my 2005's factory warranty expiration and strangly, looking forward to its end so I can begin my modifications that would have voided the original warranty. Extended warranty likely makes sense on other vehicles but Wranglers exist to be modified so you might want to reconsider...though, seeing your post was in Nov. it may be too late..in which case, you might want to have modifications done using Mopar parts put on by the dealer to ensure it doesn't risk voiding your lifetime warranty. Good luck and let us know how you like your new Wrangler when you get it!

I really could not agree with you more! As a present Mustang owner (highly modified one too) and a past Wrangler owner, I can relate.
 
What always strikes me as funny though are the people that lease these things and then want to modify them.
