#23 of 45 New Patriot purchased by cadrew Jun 03, 2008 (11:26 am)
Hi all, just got a 2008 Patriot 4x2, CVT transmission, with the 158 HP engine. Advertised sale price here in So Cal after the $2500 rebate was $11,800, and with tax title, etc. was $13,450 out the door. Nice.   I see these deals every week too, but you have to get there early.   Also, they had me sit around for 2 hours, and tried to sell me the "package" of pre-installed alarm and other crap for $3000, then kept lowering the price. I declined every time, about 7 times. Finally got my deal. My monthly payment is about $253, for 5 years, with nothing down, using the "blank check" loan from Capital One, their rate was 5.44% for me, and I have good credit. Nice deal.   Very basic car, but it is an SUV, has decent room, and I wanted that gas mileage of 25 mpg.   Beware of the dealers though, they make it really tough to get this deal without offering you all the other b.s., and don't let them tell you that you have to use their financing to get the advertised price. If it doesn't say it in the ad, then it is not legal for them to tell you that, so let them know that you know it's illegal to do that.   Good luck all!

Replying to: cadrew (Jun 03, 2008 11:26 am) Nice deal Man! it looks like you beat me about $1k if I would have gotten the base model. Hope you enjoy it. It sure will give you the best bang for your buck as far as small SUV.
#26 of 45 Employee Discount by stater09 Jun 13, 2008 (9:31 am)
I read somewhere that Chrysler has discontinued their "friends and extended family" discount; however, that employees can still help to get the cost down to invoice cost. Can someone explain this to me, or better yet, be the one to help out a college student in getting a new car!   Thanks Replies to this message: aaron_t (Jun 18, 2008 10:09 am)

Replying to: stater09 (Jun 13, 2008 9:31 am) That is correct, The employee price for extended family/friends is discontinued. The regular preferred/supplier/friends pricing continues which ends up being near invoice (some vehicles +, others -). Basically, what most people can negotiate anyway without the hassle of negotiating. Being a college student, you are probably better off negotiating invoice and using the college grad incentive of $400 as you cannot use it with Friends program anyway.
#28 of 45 2009 Patriots by buytick Jul 05, 2008 (4:57 am)
Does anyone know exactly when the new Patriots will be out? Also, can you get as good a discount on an ordered car as one that is on the lot?
#29 of 45 rebate by bdaniel Jul 08, 2008 (12:30 pm)
Ok, I've been checking around and these forums are the only mention I've found of a $2500 rebate for the 2008 patriots. I know they offered that rebate on the 2007's, but no dealer will mention the extra rebates on the 2008's.   I'm wondering, is this rebate only offered when I sit down to buy? Or only when I try to walk away? I've never bought a new car before, it's kind of overwhelming.   thanks

If you go to jeep.com, click on Patriot, click on incentives, enter your zip code... and you will get the incentives that are being offered in your area. Don't be intimidated by the buying process, it's not as bad as you think! There are also additional incentives offered to military, and sometimes they offer something for recent college graduates that are first time new car buyers.
