California Jeeps

[Techbrute]

Hi guys (and gals)! I currently own a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara (TJ), and I'm gearing up to buy a JLU Rubicon. I live in Texas and I'm seeing some amazing pricing on a couple rigs in California. Are "California emissions" cars still a thing, or are all the manufacturers just doing "50-state" vehicles now? Or, more relevant, are all the Wranglers the same, emissions-wise? Thanks for your help, and apologies if this isn't the right sub-forum.

AFAIK The Jeeps are made to be sold in any of the 50 states, so they meet/exceed California's standards. Like most cars sold in the US do.

You shouldn't have any issue taking it to another state.

Thank you. That was my understanding as well.

Incidentally, there's never been a problem bringing a CA/HI car into another state, but they always got worse MPG with less power. Honda was the first one to start doing a 50-state car, and I haven't paid attention to that since 2000 was the last time I bought a CA car, and I lived in CA.

Amazing prices? Try Criswell Jeep in Maryland.

Are you seeing amazing pricing advertised online at California dealers? If so, be careful. Call them to get the full out the door cost. Some dealerships have shady practices of hidden "required" fees/add-ons not in the advertised price.

I live minutes from there if anyone needs help. I just picked up my new Rubi Recon from there a few weeks ago.

Curious to know what dealerships you are finding. I live in California and could not find a dealer willing to budge on pricing. See my post here:

I pro-ordered a windshield for my Wrangler and I'm super excited. And right now they are offering a discount

This has to be a shill account...

California, last time I checked, requires a smog check of even new vehicles purchased out of state. That's kind of a hassle, especially if you don't have AAA.

Nowhere in your post do you mention the actual price you paid, i.e., what discount off of invoice price you got.

We have a vendor in this forum in Orange County who is currently offering 4% under invoice (Rob at Coastline in SJC).

I intentionally didn't quote my specific numbers because it's become evident the incentives, financing origination fee, and even destination charges change all the time.

However as a point of reference I was about 12-13% below MSRP.

This has been my experience with the diesel models, non-diesels seem to offer better negotiating opportunites.
