Ask-A-Jeep-Dealer Thread

[JLWF Dealer Guy]

Hey Jeep dealer. How would you handle this? Let’s say I wanted to swap a set of 315 7017. Bfg ko2 tires on to the jeep right from the start. How much credit could I expect. From a dealer for the stock size rubicon bfg ko2 tires. If any? I know all dealers are different. But say a reasonable dealer we won’t hold you to it. Just trying to get an idea ?

Total negotiation up front. No real answer as we mostly pull things like that out of our asses. In non-confirmed D1, I already have my take off’s aold. I recommend the same.

I’m new to this thread and not sure if this question was asked/answered yet, but here goes: In general, does a 2018 JL Sport Unlimited lease better than a 2018 JL Sahara Unlimited? For sake of argument, let’s just say they are the same or close in MSRP. If so, by about how much for a 39 month lease with 12K miles per year. Thanks.

Sport S has a 7% higher residual than the Sahara, way better option. No brainer if you can get a Sport equipped how you want it.

So I'm planning on paying cash but I'm waiting on the Diesel. Is there any advantage to paying cash anymore?

From your experience, about how much difference in monthly payment does that make if both Wranglers have the same MSRP?
$20-$30/mo, or more? Thanks for your help.

its a disadvantage in every dealership for the most part.

Gotcha I'm still not paying stupid interest.

If your credit is good enough the interest is low enough you could take that $50k, invest it, and make a larger gain. most 401k's pay lots higher, max that out, and simple investments as well.

Solely speaking on position of financial decisions, it doesn't make sense to throw that kind of $ at a depreciation asset. that's just my .02

My credit's fine and I see where you're coming from.

So, Dealer Guy, my understanding is that when I order a wrangler from you, you buy that vehicle from jeep. When I decide that I change my mind you are still obligated to purchase that wrangler, often being financed by the dealership. So, thankfully the wrangler is easy enough to sell, but in sense, I have just screwed you over, am now expecting you to either purchase another vehicle on my behalf or for what ever reason makes sense to me, expect my deposit back. Are you then mad at me, or super glad to meet my demands?

I'm glad to help. I'll take any JL I can get. Now, if you ordered a manual 3500 ram in bright red , I'd take a non refundable deposit cause that shit is sittin there forever. There isn't a JL configuration that is unsellable

It paid off for me because the investment I cashed in to pay for the Jeep was purchased low and I sold when it was at a high. I lucked into the timing just right, and am thrilled not to take on debt.

I asked this in another thread but it fits better here. My JLUR is on schedule for April 22. Should I request, or demand, that they do not test drive the vehicle when delivered. I know they do not have any in stock and I don’t want the sales team to learn how they ride in mine. What is the best way to request it.

Tell em if they drive it you won’t buy it. It’s got your name on it so it’s not theirs to screw around with. If they want to get paid they won’t touch it other than to do the PDI.

This has probably been covered but can I order a rubicon with the low fenders? Is there any way that I can get the silver dash inserts without getting the tan leather for a rubicon? I don't want red stitching or red inserts on a silver or sting grey wrangler. But I do like the black cloth seats. The red inside is just not my style.
