#89 of 127 CRD buying by joe233 Aug 15, 2006 (2:31 pm)
what's the current situation with buying a CRD model? Are they in limited supply and do they qualify for all the same incentives & specials? Also, are you able to still get a good deal if dealer doesn't have one in stock and has to transport a vehicle you want to their lot?

Replying to: joe233 (Aug 15, 2006 2:31 pm) Did you ever get a response to your message? I live in Taos NM and actually ordered a 2006 Liberty Diesel...they are trying to charge me ALOT of money, over 25,000.00 after the rebate and employee pricing etc. Do you know what anyone has paid for this vehicle recently...with tow pkg and 4wd, the 22c pkg I believe. Thanks for any advice on this...how do I get the price down? Lisa in Taos

haven't seen anything new. Did you factory order a 2006 CRD to be built or are they transporting an exisiting vehicle to your dealership? Replies to this message: farout (Aug 22, 2006 5:30 pm)

Replying to: joe233 (Aug 15, 2006 2:31 pm) joe233: If you intend to buy a new CRD you will have to spend some time on the Jeep site and check inventories. They stopped making the 06 CRD about May 1 06. As a total they made 11,000. 8,333 were made in 05 and the rest were made in 06. Not very many when you consider it. DCX tried to get the maker V M Motori the Italian maker of the CRD, to get a CRD that would pass the 07 Federal Emissions standards. Even VW has dropped their diesel for 07. Dodge is still working out the Ram's diesel and may be late fall to be ready. But all the diesels are going to cost a lot more from now on. DCX is having a MB Bluetec Diesel in the grand C. in Jan of 07.    So if you are serious nows the time. You can get anywhere from $2,500. to $4,000. off depending on the dealer. In Kansas City I saw some dealers add $2000. to what was employee pricing. Hope this helps.   Farout

Horrible resale value, heck in los angeles you can get a new 2007 for $16K +TTL, and they have hundreds on the lot. Mine has depreciated over 50% in jsut one year, buy used, save yourself a headache.

Replying to: xkmail (Aug 28, 2006 2:15 pm) xkmail: No dealer will just give you what you want off the bat. You have to deal just as hard for the trade in value as you did for the price of the vehicle. I traded our 2005 Liberty Limited in after a year and it cost me $5,000. after 15,000 miles. That's a far cry from 50%! In fact it was 24%. I bargin harder with the trade only after I have a final purchase price. They assume I have no trade, because I say I want the price for the vehicle all by its self. It has come to the point where I walked away from the dealer, but what ever I save is money I do not have to spend.   Farout Replies to this message: 05crdjeep (Aug 30, 2006 10:02 am) farout (Sep 01, 2006 10:45 am)

Replying to: farout (Aug 29, 2006 12:05 pm) In Minneapolis, the CRDs hold their value much better than the V6s if you compare matching equipment levels. I read a thread about this awhile ago and then went to the statistics and also talked to the sales manager at my 5 star dealership who is actually someone who believes in being truthful.   My dealer told me, based on what he can sell them for is getting a $2300 premium for the CRD on used 05s with 25000 miles on them.   He laughed and said that isn't what they're offering for trade ins. Any trades they're getting are from folks that for whatever reason have decided that diesel was a bad idea and want something else. I can totally empathize with the situation. I did the same thing with a previous vehicle and really took a bath on dumping it after a year. It is a difficult situation. For any vehicle however, it is highly unusual to trade after a year.   The reason for the premium is that the number of CRDs on the lot has dwindled and some people who want an 06 are happy getting what they percieve to be a deeply discounted 05.   In hard numbers you can pick up a loaded V6 Limited gasser for around a shade over $18,000.   An identically equipped CRD will sit for less time and the dealers are getting around $20,600 by the time you get done negotiating.   A new one stickers for $30,400 and I paid $26,800 new for mine, identically equipped to all these examples.   And I ain't selling. I love my CRD.     Replies to this message: farout (Sep 01, 2006 10:45 am)

Replying to: 05crdjeep (Aug 30, 2006 10:02 am) 05crdjeep: The only person who wins when buying is the dealer. They will not sell a vehicle for less than they owe on it. Same with a trade the dealer always wins. They may cry, and put on a huge act about how much they or going in the hole, but it's done to make us think we got the best of the dealer. And who does not want to tell their story of what a huge deal they got on a dealer?    When it gets to the point where we all pay the same price, and no wheeling or dealing, they we all will pay less, and only then.   Farout

Replying to: xkmail (Jul 31, 2006 6:18 pm) You know, the happy part of this situation is that if you look in the used market, there are some excellent deals out there. We recently purchased a lease return, Liberty Limited, 4WD, PW, PL, Auto, 3.7L engine, etc for just over $13K, with under 25k miles. Not as neat as the more trimmed out models (I miss cruise control! ) but the unit handles great, tires are good, and a real delight to drive.
