The best deals are mostly gone now. They were from Chrysler dealers that lost the franchise.
 
Some people with finance already set up or cash, and with no trade, got truly amazing deals!

Wrangler Ordering Process - Buying Experiences by mb789

I'm thinking about ordering a Wrangler because I'm looking for a certain option that very few are equipped with. Could someone please explain the general steps for ordering and the paperwork, fees, and other $ that should and should NOT be involved.
 
When will ordering for 2010s begin? I am not in a hurry, so I don't have to order one this year.

In theory, ordering a vehicle should be cheaper than buying one from the lot as there are no costs involved for the dealer to make the sale.
However, most dealers will try to unload an in stock unit on you as it's costing them money to keep it on the lot, so just be firm.
 
Bottom line is that you need to negotiate the best price 'out the door', that is the total cost to you to drive it away either with or without the actual cost of tax, tag, and title as those are not negotiable.
 
It doesn't matter how the dealer arrives at that 'out the door' price as long as the figure is one that you're happy with.
If the dealer wants to allocate $500 to paperwork and $1000 to preparation don't let it worry you, as long as the final price is the one you want to pay.
 
The OTD price is the easiest and simplest way to compare deals between one dealership and another.

Noob buying questions by docklearfan

First of all thanks to anyone that responds to my questions! thanks.
1) I used Edmunds TVP true value pricing and was excited about the quote. Have you found this accurate?
2) I gleaned that the MSRP is basically an inflated price that you would be nuts agreeing to, Correct? In fact the "list price" would qualify as well? correct?
3) One dealership offered 0 % financing. So I asked if ( I did that Free credit report online) I had no negative information using Free credit report would that QUALIFY for their acceptance for zero percent financing. And the girl on the phone said YES, however I'm not sure what the SALESPERSON will say, So do I need to get my "Credit Score?" or will the Free credit report (Expirion,Equifax,I forget the last one) suffice to the dealer??
Lastly, I just want a basic jeep. Wrangler x, automatic, air condition....I'm figuring around $ 20,000 ??? sound about right???

How are buyers fairing on purchase price now that there are some rebates on Wranglers? Can you still expect only about $2000 off MSRP as discussed above, or more?

I am planning to purchase a wrangler x unlimited 4x4 manual
 
I found one which has the limited slip differential, 3.73 axle ratio and floor mats option
 
I proposed the offer below
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
Total Selling Price: 23,914.00
                                  ( Invoice listed every where, like Kelly Blue Book, NADA)
  Waste Tire and Bettery: 6.50
  Fee and Service: 799.00
  Total Taxable Amount: 24719.50
  Tax: 1483.14
  License/Title/Registration: 282.00
  Incentive (1000.00)
  Discount on mis fee (200.00)
--------------------------------------------
  Out to Door: 25284.14
 
The dealer gave me this number $26,134 out the door and refused to continue
the negotiation.
 
How do I move on?

Yep, sounds familiar. I contacted a couple dealers and made a couple offers, but they didn't result in a sale. Not much negotiating on the basic models. Hopefully you'll hear from some of the others on here who have received "amazing" deals. BTW, I talked to the dealers in July, and the Wranglers are still sitting on their lots.. .

 How do I move on?

 
Do it literally, you'll need to speak with several dealers before you get the price you want.
 
Incidentally, you should be able to do better OTD than invoice plus fixed costs.
Remember that whatever offer you make, the salesman will almost always try to bump you up somewhat; it's his job after all.
Had you offered $1K under invoice for that Unlimited he might have come back with a figure you could accept.
 
Keep this in mind when (assuming it to be true) you hear of an excellent deal someone else got.
It didn't happen because the dealership was feeling generous that day, it happened because someone made a low offer and was prepared only to come up to the price they really wanted to pay.
 
One final point, there are now many fewer dealerships to negotiate with than in the past, which means less competition between them. Prices aren't likely to be as low as they have been in recent years for a long time into the future.
