Cheapest JL yet? Base Sport models...

[Jeepsterfreak]

Plus tint shops can't tint the plastic windows. I like all my window tint to match.

Good point.

For $500 you might be able to buy aftermarket soft top tinted window replacement panels. Then you would have two sets. Would still have to tint the other windows.

I paid $32,500 for my 2015 JKUR new

I just can't believe this dealer had so many in stock and is giving a flat $4,500 off

That's like 8.5% under invoice. Damn good.

I hate the factory soft top. By the time I'm ready to buy, Bestop will probably have a new Trektop for the JL and I'll get the hardtop option from the factory.

They look surprisingly good for "base models." Steel wheels look great in black. I just can't believe in this day and age they can't have power windows standard even on the base models....

Then how would they « push » you into buying the higher trim ?!

I have to say, this new soft top is awesome, I can’t imagin what you would hate about it. Looks great in person, the quality appears to be much better then any previous wrangler I’ve owned, drops down easily and it’s very quiet.

Me too. This Wrangler is my mid-life crisis car. I drove a YJ basically through all of my 20's. I loved that Jeep. I mean I. Loved. That. Jeep.

Now with a family of 4 I just can't justify a 2-door. But there are days when that's really what I want.

My longer-term plan is to drive a 4-door but at some point pick up a used YJ as a second car.

I'm sort of in the same boat as you but I'm still buying a two door for just me. I've been saving for two years working extra. So it'll be a third vehicle for my household overall. One that no crazy kids get to ride in...

Luckily for us the kids have moved on. It's 2 door for us and if anyone wants to ride the backseat, they can squeeze in the hard-way.

I’m skeptical that is a true price. Probably just trying to get you in the door then tell you in order to get that discount you have to finance at 10%!

Do you have standard or premium? I’m reading that the premium is very quiet but have not heard much about the standard soft top. I used to drive a mustang convert as DD so can’t imagine it would be much worse but I’m still leaning toward hardtop with aftermarket soft top later.

According to the fine print, I believe it might be 20% down and you have to qualify for all the other incentives such as military, etc. to get that price. A tough list criteria to meet for many.

I don't like the way the new top looks when it is down, with all the exposed hardware sticking out. I prefer the cleaner look of the Trektop because it comes off completely and there is nothing blocking the rear view.

I used to have a soft top boot that covered all that, the new one looks exposed.

As a side note, factory half door JKU's are unicorn cars where I live. Super cool!

I've been planning on a hard top, and am hearing reports they leak. How hard is it to get it right after all these years? Engineering another folding windshield and fancy blind spot monitoring is stupid if they can't get the basics right.

It's true that the new soft top looks bulky and a bit messy when opened but if the overall function is improved and it's as easy to operate as they're saying i'm good with it. I'm a function over fashion guy.

I'm still wondering about the durability of the slide-in window channels vs the classic zippers. I'm afraid once dirt and crap get in those channels the widows won't slide very easy. Plus looks like you can't roll the windows and stuff them into a window roll like you could with the JK.
