Has anyone beat 7% below invoice?

[ALT]

For those that don't mind haggling with dealers, were you able to buy a new Wrangler for less than 7% below invoice?

If you had a trade or opted for things like rust proofing and warranties, I can see how a dealer will 'sell' 7% below invoice but will come out way ahead of that in the end.

So who's done better than the 'forum deals'? Share your strategy here.

I got a "forum deal" and an pretty happy with it TBH. before finding this forum I damn near over paid for a base model lot Wrangler, ordered exactly what I wanted for less than the lot one ?

Nobody????

I doubt if dealerships that offer below invoice pricing are interested in dickering with a potential customer. I sure as hell don't like that part of buying a vehicle.

Beating 7% sounds like it would be a negative profit deal. But not sure myself nothing like that offered around here.

Is 7% not enough?

It maybe possible, but the time probably isn’t worth it… At the price of these vehicles, you need a modest income and it’s safe to assume our time is worth something (same for the dealers).

I got 8% below at Criswall in Sept 2019 in a 2020 Rubi.

7% without flying from CO to MA and the gas/hotel back probably would have been a better deal, but I just looked at it as a free road trip where I only had to pay for half the gas.

No doubt some of the forum deals are really good. I enjoy the car buying process, including negotiating, but do it on my terms and not sitting at a dealership for hours.

I called one Jeep dealer today and they are asking $3k over MSRP for anything on the lot, and factory orders were MSRP. This same dealership brand owns another Jeep store less than 2 hours away who are selling below invoice.

The best offer I have is 7% below invoice on a factory order. I think I could beat this in a few months as interest rates rise and cools demand. I'm hoping Jeep may add incentives towards the end of the year, so if my build is delivered then, I could take advantage of cash back. Who knows. ?‍

From which dealer?

I got 7% under invoice on a '22 rubicon with extreme recon. I ordered in Novemeber, so right before the multiple price hikes. When my Jeep came in April 2022, they honored original price from last November minus 7%. I don't know how I could've beat that, especially being a local dealer. The only difference will be dealer fees, which some dealers charge crazy fees and others normal $300ish.

7% is the benchmark for a great deal at the moment

Back in 2019 I go 20% below MSRP on a 2019 lot sport S. I don't know if that beats 7% below invoice. But it was a hell of a deal for a lot vehicle. Yeah I had to haggle a lot. And had about 4 offers on the table with other dealers. I called one of the other dealers right in front of the salesman ("finance guy") at the dealer where I bought.

He did not want to remove some bullshit add-ons and was really pushy about that dumb extended warranty.

I said "ok, give me 1 minute" picked up my phone, call the other dealer right there. "Hey, do you have have X wrangler ready? I can go pick it up right now, these are the terms these guys are giving, would you match and drop the dealer add-ons?" Finance guy didn't let me walk out of the dealer, he was clearly very pissed. We finished the deal in about 2 minutes and he basically told me to go away and enjoy my new jeep. lol.

Next time I am finding a forum deal and not dealing with all the crap.
