You take a test drive, mentioning your knowledge of the steering issue. You show the salesman how it wanders on the highway. You tell the salesman/sales manager that you will not buy one with this issue. These sales people ARE AWARE of this issue. They will try to minimize the issue and try to get you to agree that YOU (not your wife or other less experienced drivers) will be able to drive it and enjoy it even with this small? issue.
At this point, if you really need to have it, offer about 30% below MSRP. You may be surprised at the deal you will get.
My motivation for posting this: I want to purchase a JLU without the steering issue and JEEP/Chrysler has so far been unwilling/unable to fix it.
I have driven 5 Jeep Wrangler JLU's at 5 different dealerships in 2 states and all 5 had the "loose" "wandering" steering issue. The build dates (posted on inside of driver's door frame) ranged from 4/18 through 9/18. I love the JLU, and was prepared to buy or lease the one built 9/18, as it was just delivered to the dealer and I figured that the steering issue would be corrected on it. It was not and I was a bit upset.
So, after driving the 9/18 built JLU, I test drove 2 JLU's in another state and they both had the steering issue. At one of these dealerships, they seemed willing to give me a great deal after I complained about the steering. So, I'm passing this strategy on to you.
