Happy New Year JL Wrangler Forum. I wanted to take a moment and contribute back to the forum and share my experiences ordering my JL Moab edition since I used this forum significantly to help me with my order. My Wrangler is my daily driver and I previously had a 2012 JK Unlimited Arctic edition, which I loved, but it was time to upgrade to the JL, so I scoured the forum for advice, recommendations, dealers, options, timeframes, etc. Here is my experience so far:
I live in Maryland and started researching in early December and was actually hoping to find something on a lot nearby and just get everything done at once. With what I wanted though it wasn't happening, and I started researching ordering my Wrangler, which I had not done before. I then found and joined this forum and decided that ordering was the right path for me. I also learned about pricing strategies and recommended dealers in my area. I saw posts about 1% below invoice all the way to 7% below invoice. As I mentioned briefly on the Dealer Map thread, I contacted a few and found that I got the best pricing and service from Caroline Abrahms at Fitzgerald. I was able to get 7% below invoice without any hassles (before tax, tags and $299 MD fee) which was a savings over over $7,200 off of msrp (almost 13%). This was better than other offers I received.
I placed my order on 12/21 and got a VON and VIN a few days later. Additionally, and fortuitously, I received the Jeep Wrangler Owner Loyalty offer of $1,000 right after Christmas. I sent the picture to Caroline and I was able to get another $1,000 off of the price. For those like me that want to see pricing details, here is the pricing info:
I will post back to this thread an update (with pictures) after I receive delivery to confirm everything continued to work out as expected. In the meantime, if you are looking for a new Jeep, I highly recommend contacting Caroline and giving her a shot to help you.
Caroline's contact info below. Good luck!
