Rate my deal - 2024 Sport base

[Ratbert]

Thanks Craig at Koons! I ordered 7/16 and it arrived in 5 weeks. I flew up from West Palm Florida and will be driving her down.

You already bought one, right? Now you're wanting to change the deal? Or maybe you're buying another?

$41,655 - I posted a picture of the deal breakdown on the original thread just now. Not looking for a pat on the back. Looking for a killer deal, I don’t need another vehicle right now but if it’s something I can’t turn down happy to add it to the fleet.

Market Value Selling Price is MVSP, not MSRP.

The dealer add on is what's making the deal sour. Does it have AC? You can order a new one for that money.

this is my old Jeep from 2020. Which is now sold.

Ahhh, that makes sense. I stupidly neglected to look at the date. Doh.

I don’t know why it shows up on the document like that. Can assure you that it is the MSRP though as I see the window sticker for the same amount

It’s brand new 2024 and does have A/C

With MSRP at $41k for a base Jeep, this all looks like funny-money to me. $10k off is admirable. For reference, I paid $24k for a brand new 2-door Sport S with a 6-speed, 3.73's and a hardtop back in 2012. Ages ago.

However, add-ons and dealer processing fees are such a joke. I don't pay them and sometimes that means shopping elsewhere. We have a set $200 doc fee here in WA state and that's all I'm willing to pay. Taxes and registration are what they are, and I don't need additional fluff from the dealer. Remove the fee, I'll buy today, and that statement has resulted in a handshake and advancing towards signatures more often than not.

The easiest way to look at this is to is to compare total price (NOT including taxes and licensing as the dealer has no direct control of this) to MSRP. They can do whatever they want with the buckets. Typically a good deal when ordering from one of the bigger dealers works its way to about 10-12% off MSRP. I'm too lazy to do the math for the OP, but this is basic stuff folks. Everyone saying they're not paying for nitrogen or whatever is missing the bigger picture. They could discount the vehicle $20k and charge $5k for nitrogen. It really doesn't matter. What is the delta between what you're paying (not including taxes and license) and MSRP. That simple. They could charge $1k per yellow ducky. None of it matters.

I would not pay for all those “extras”. Other than that. Good

I’m truly confused. Ratbert’s pricing thread shows what dealers are doing markdown wise. You should know what your cost of capital and return on investment terms are. Doesn’t seem like you’re trying to make money by flipping a “killer” deal. What are you looking for? What’s your objective with purchasing the vehicle?

Spending $100K on a vehicle is a killer deal if it gives you everything you want experience wise. I spent $63K on my JLUR and my dog loves it. Worth every penny. Am I making money on it? No. Would I buy something and put it in the garage because I got a killer deal? Also no. I know it’s counter intuitive to humans these days, but you don’t save money by spending money. Rarely is a vehicle a good investment. And rarely do people buy what they need which sounds like your position. Sure seems like you want a pat on the back. All the info you need to assess value is available to you and you’re not sharing enough details to help people understand the variables you are placing weight on.

^^^This^^^

A starting price for a bone stock Sport that doesn't even have power windows shouldn't be 41K. It looks like they started you high and then offered discounts that make it seem like it's a better deal than it is. It's like businesses that slowly raise their prices before a Black Friday sale...

thanks - already did this and it matches the msrp. It’s a JLU sport with auto

my definition of a killer deal is not losing money if I want to turn around get get rid of it. That’s what anyone’s interpretation of a deal is and why so many people spend time in this section of the forum. To pay as little as possible. A car is a mass produced luxury and you can find any car out there with as many or as little options as you’d like. Congrats on your dog liking it but he wouldn’t care if it was a Jeep or Hyundai sonata to be honest…
