Use Edmunds and other sites to do your research to find a fair total price. Deduct something for bargaining with, maybe 5-10%, then say to the dealer "This is the specification of the Jeep I want, can you sell it to me for that price with nothing added? That way it doesn't matter what the various fees are, either the deal can be done or you'll get a counter offer. I'm sure you can take it from there! |

Going to dealership tomorrow...any thoughts to earlier message? ********** Dealer near me has a leftover 2004 Wrangler Unlimited (brand new) priced at $19,999 with a sticker of $25,620 (includes floor mats, stereo upgrade and leather-wrapped sterring wheel, cruise). Does this seem inline with what others are paying? Have always wanted a Wrangler and it seems like a good deal.

For those researching numbers to buy a Wrangler Unlimited, here are my details in hopes it helps...No haggle-prices using my company's Affiliate Rewards connection (aka Friends/Family/Partners - or FFP) which touts 1% under invoice. My dealer is in SE Michigan. Prices below are from the two columns in a printout from my dealer listed as "MSRP" and "FWP" (supposedly invoice)... Wrangler Unlimited White/Khaki 23,895 / 21,877 Automatic 825 / 726 Security Group 295 / 260 Locking Fuel Cap 15 / 13 Front Floor Mats 30 / 26 Dual Top 1,435 / 1,263 Bodyside Steps 150 / 132 8 gallons gas 0 / 15 Customer Loyalty Mailing 0 / 25 Detroit Metro - PPA/EB-PF 0 / 280 Detroit Metro - DAA 0 / 240 Total 27,305 / 25,517 FFP Price = $25,262 (1% under the FWP "invoice" price above) 6% Sales Tax = $1,515.72 Title $23.00 Total Delivered Price = $26,800 Minus $500 former military Minus $750 (assuming it's still there when the Wrangler is delivered) Minus $1,000 Chrysler Finance (again, assuming they still offer that at deliverly) Out the door price = $24,550 Minimum Chrysler Finance amount needed to get the $1,000 rebate is $2,000 for at least six months. My concern about my price last night was because those gas, customer mailing, PPA, and DAA costs were not figured in the Affiliate Rewards price provided directly from the Jeep website. Their price was 24,722 before rebates, taxes, and fees. My dealers price was $540 over that amount due to those other charges. That's why my antenna went up even though my dealer insisted they have to recoup those charges on "invoice" deals like this. So you know, Jeep website shows the Preferred Discount due to the Affiliate Rewards at $2,583 off the sticker price before rebates. Even if you don't have access to the Affiliate Rewards deal, I hope seeing what I've posted above will show you what you can shoot for if it's better. |

Was looking at a rubicon hardtop automatic. 2004. Does anyone have an idea what I should offer for vehicle? Never had a jeep before. Will use for around town, not off road. It would come in handy in the long island winters. Am I biting off more than I'm bargaining for. Owner returned it cause the ride and noise was not what he expected. Is everyday city driving very uncomfortable? Like your opinions of vehicle and what I should offer dealer. Went to lot to look at 2005 cherokee unlimited, but the rubicon intrigues me. Been looking for a 4x4 for a while. Any suggestions? Has a Liberty also that re recommends.

If you goto the carmax.com website, and look at the Atlanta dealer for a new 2005 Jeep Unlimited, they are pricing their Jeeps at $2000 UNDER INVOICE!! Tack on the current $1000 rebate and that's $3000 under invoice!! How can they do this?! Can they be making any money?? I've NEVER heard of a car being sold for $2000 under invoice unless it was a year or more old model.

Replying to: karlw90 (May 06, 2005 10:54 am) My dealer was anxious to get rid of and I was there on the last night of their fiscal month and they were ready to deal...right spot, right time. Also used Consumer Reports New Car Price Report as well....seemed accurate from what I could tell. Good luck! |

I just purchased a 2004 Jeep Wrangler Sport with the Dual Top Group. They charged me $1435.00 for the Dual Top Group. They also charged me $795.00 for the hard top. They said that was true for all 2004 Wrangler Sports. I cant find any site that confirms that. Has anyone else been charged for the hard top twice? Thanks

Replying to: kjs1 (May 06, 2005 3:57 pm) The Wrangler comes with a soft top as standard. If a hard top is substituted, the cost of the soft top is subtracted from the the cost of a stand alone hard top, which leaves about $800 to pay. If dual tops are ordered, the hard top is added to the standard vehicle. They can't make you pay for the hard top twice. What does your window sticker say? |
