How are you supposed to buy a new jeep

[UserName7]

Still have a 2010 I got way back when and thought it would be time to get a new one, but things have changed and it's all juts wtf? I looked into this new online ordering. Figured If I take MSRP add destination fee, add tax title and registration and make that my final offer that's gotta be a good deal for clicking a few buttons. I can't even get a thanks but no thanks from anyone within 150 miles. Had to make an offer on inventory jeep out of state just to find someone reasonable enough to say, "well I'll consider your offer and get back to you if I don't get a better one". Im just getting complete sarcasm, condescension, pointless argumentative or boastful comments to end the deal before it starts. I legitimately cannot understand the sales tactic Jeep is training these days. Especually on an order, there arent even competing offers. If anyone has any insight on the logic please share.

I have no insight into any logic a dealership is trying to use, but I’ll say this.

The best way for you to buy a Jeep and be sure you’re getting exactly what you want is to build it online, take that to a dealer and custom order it.

You won’t be getting too many competing offers considering most dealerships have little to no inventory on their lots. Jeep is selling JLs as fast as they can build them… faster even.

Will you have to wait four to six months for your build? Yep. Is it worth it in the end to get exactly what you wanted? Big yep.

There are volume dealerships taking orders that sell below MSRP (example being Guptons - see the 190 page thread here)
Still gotta wait for it, but in the end you’re not playing games with salespeople and you get what you want from the factory.

Yes, that's what I'm asking. How do you do that? I'm not even looking for below MSRP and no one is willing to order. Or they are but they want a 2000-5000 markup over that, as though THEY will get a competing offer on my specific order. I contacted the dealer on that list closest to me and no response for a week. How do I communicate with these kind of people now days?

Kent at Peterson's in Idaho. It's worth a fly-n-ride.

 

[rohdawg]

Gupton has a great reputation as far as communicating with people goes. If you hit up someone in that thread they’ll provide you with some contact info.

Note - I’m not pimping for Gupton by any means. I just know what I read here on the forum.

Shitty time to buy a vehicle. But who knows, this might just be the new normal.

I think you’re right.

My 22 Rubicon was ordered from Matt Mohl at Susquehanna Automotive in PA and they did me right. Even beat my dealerships here in TX to the point I saved money even with paying to ship it to my house.

It was WAY WAY WAY worse last year with COVID. Best thing to do is find the exact model on the Jeep website, look within within 300 miles, and email the sale department. If they get back to you, your in. I did in November on '21 and drove 3.5 hours (one way) to pick mine up in January.

It was those damn chipset delays caused by covid. Inventory is rising....

I sent that guy a text, and got nothing in return.....useless....for me anyway.

Good to see another Houston dweller enjoying his Jeep.

The best way to get a decent price right now is to order it. Sucks to wait but that's the current market. If you want it right away your going to have to pay up.
This is slowing starting to change as interest rates increase. If you don't want to deal with the ordering process maybe wait a few more months for prices to adjust back.

Step one is to look at @Ratbert ’s spreadsheet
here. It has a list of dealerships that offer below invoice pricing on factory orders.

 

[yssirhc19]

@Ratbert has been doing an awesome job at compiling a spreadsheet of dealers below invoice: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/ratberts-dealers-below-invoice-spreadsheet.95841/

i recommend creating a build on the jeep website and sending it out to the dealers that you're interested in. i also recommend researching threads on the various dealers as that might give you a little insight on the dealers and how they do business. i hope you find the right fit!

Deals can be found, you just gotta be active on searching and negotiating, and of course be willing to travel out of state if you need to!
