I wanted to break this down for everyone...I know the information is hard to find. Here is what the sticker said: Base Price: $ 27,365 Security Group: $ 295 Front Floor Mats: $ 30 4-Speed Automatic $ 825 Add-A-Trunk $ 125 Engine Block Heater $ 35 AM/FM Stereo In Dash 6 Disc CD $ 300 Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel $ 300 Locking Fuel Filter $ 15 Destination Charge $ 660 Total Price $ 29,950 Then the extra sticker said: Adjusted Market Value $ 994 Local Dealer Service & Handling $ 499 Grand total STICKER price: $ 31,443 What I got: All that AND an installed Warn XD9000i Winch, gap insurance, and the extended warranty Here is what I paid: Total Vehicle Cost $28,600 Sales Tax $ 927.97 Manufacturer's Rebate (subtract) $2,000 Other Taxes $ 26.83 Certificate of Title Fees $ 10 Registration Fees $41.50 Extended Warranty $1073 Gap Insurance $600 Processing Fee $399 TOTAL PAID: $29,678.30 I think I did okay. Probably got screwed on the gap insurance though. I didn't research that. My sales girl was very nice!! However, that didn't stop them from trying all their tricks on me. I made a spreadsheet and entered all the values (i.e. so it would figure tax and totals by itself no matter what changes I made...). I used Edmonds.com to get all the "invoice prices", which turned out to be VERY accurate. They gave me two offers which were a lot more than the amount I had prepared and itemized for that particular Jeep on my spreadsheet. I then gave her my spreadsheet and said, "This is what I want to pay." She came back from the manager and said something to the effect of, "We are the biggest lot in the area and give the best service because we sell so many Jeeps..blah blah blah." I said, I understand, but I feel like my offer is reasonable. She said, "You are offering LESS than the BASE PRICE on this Jeep!" (This was before I added the $$ in to install the winch.) I said, I know, but it's exactly $250 OVER invoice price. I said that if I can't get the price I want to pay, I'll have to go deal with another smaller lot. She said she had to go run the offer by her manager again and it was smooth sailing from there on out. Once she found out that I knew the invoice price of the Jeep and the invoice price of EVERY single option on the Jeep, things went smoothly. All in all, I figured it out...I think I paid less than $100 more than I had gone in prepared to pay (not counting the gap/extended warranty...that was an impulse buy  .)

I am going to use the jeep to drive on rough gravel, dusty roads in the Arizona White Mountain region going to fishing lakes with little if any off-road intentions. No rock climbing and very little off the main gravel road is expected. Would there be any opinions out there about which engine I should look for in purchasing a used vehicle? Please give me your insights and opinions.

Replying to: mac24 (Jul 11, 2005 8:46 pm) I posted a message last evening, that wasn't even on the forum early this morning. It appeared sometime in the last hour. I'm not used to a lengthy pause before posting ....... if that is really happening. I really can't even be sure of that.??
