Trade info is definitely not listed on the scribbles they put on the bottom of the FWP sheet anyway...

I think you should give some more thought to the vehicle you really want. The difference between a 2 door and 4 door makes them very different vehicles and they have very different utility. Even for a townie vehicle.

Get what you want. Also, know the selling (cash sale) price of the vehicle you’re looking at. No trade, no TTL and no finaces office shell games. Demand that they show you that price before you proceed any further in the negotiations. I usually negotiate that first and will leave a dealer if they won’t tell me what the bottom line price for the vehicle is.

Like Cowboy said, $32,000 for a 2021 Willys, somethings wrong. I bought a brand new 2016 Willys
JK in 2016 for appx. $33,000 , , and my new custom built 2021 (ordered Oct. 6th 2020) JL which I I took delivery on Nov. 13th. (2020) for appx $41,000. If you can get a 2021 Willy’s for $32,000, you better suck it up big time...... Really, check this out 100% so you don’t get burned...

A $46K Willys down to $32K? Buy it, sell it over the weekend to Carvana for a profit and go get yourself the Rubicon.

I would trust the Willy's dealer almost as much as I trust a rattle snake going over my boot.

This is very true. Get the real Jeep, not the grocery gitter. Besides, it is a good deal at $32k.

Time for some friendly ribbing:
Yea, well next time im on top of a waterfall, in my grocey getter, acting as winch anchor point for all the two wheel guys who are scared of flipping over backwards. I will look down into their fear filled eyes and sweaty brows and reassure them "its ok, you bought the real jeep".

So you are saying that is the reason you don't need 4 doors?:LOL::CWL:
Jeep Wrangler JL Difficult Choices IMG_20200215_170745_236

We didn't buy the 4 door for friends, but my 6'4" son would have been real unhappy in the back seat of a 2 door. Add in the much greater stability, both on road and especially on steep off camber climbs, the much greater storage space, the nearly doubled towing capacity, etc. I'm very happy with my "not real" jeep. Of course on the black diamond trails it seems like there's way more of us than "real" jeeps these days anyway.
