JK Rebates

[MrJeepNut]

I think the February sales numbers are misleading. Since a new model came out dealerships were purchasing stock. This likely accounts for the increase.

I'm doubtful of that for several reasons: 1) dealers would have been purchasing new stock regardless of whether there was a brand-new model or not, and 2) they probably couldn't order significantly more new JLs this year than they could JKs last year, due to JL production ramp-up limitations, and 3) the timing of the JL price increase seems very much like a reaction to a genuine sales volume increase-- I doubt the FCA execs are naive enough to be fooled by their own numbers. They've been through new model introductions before.

I'm feeling that way now myself. If I could, I'd probably just order a JK Willy's and be done with it.

Fuck this company. I'll try to say that as often as possible from here on out.

I'm not quite to that point yet , but there may well be a Certified Pre-Owned JK or JL in my future next year, which would be satisfying in a way, because FCA pockets much, much less on a CPO sale than on a new sale.

Sales are just that, SALES! It doesn’t include inventory on dealer lots. But it does include both sales of JK’s and JL’s.

I picked up a 2017 JKUR for just shy of 8% under invoice a couple weeks ago so just keep your eyes peeled. I was dead set on a JL but I got a JK Rubi for less than I could get a JL Sport S so it was a no brainer for me. The new gadgets are WAY cool but the new pricing isn't. With the additional price hikes the JK discounts may not materialize in mass quantities however.

I share some of the sour sentiment as above with Jeep right now. Received a Golden Ticket today. It expires April 30 and my JL won't be here by then and I ordered 1/22. And, guess what, not good on Wranglers. Specifically excludes Wranglers along with Demon, SRT and a few other models. So if your hoping for a Golden Ticket, the new ones wont work on Wrangler. at least mine won't. I'm shopping on a Grand Cherokee now ONLY because I should get the golden ticket discount and Tread Lightly and Bonus Drive. Although, that may not be enough for me to stay with Jeep.

Carlton the Ford F-150 destination is $1495 which is $50 more than the JL.

Ford.com shows the F150 and F250 at $1,395. $50 cheaper and the Ford takes up twice the space on the Rig.

The fact is Chrysler is screwing their customers with the JL.

Been watching the 2018 JKR Recon since the JL 2 door is not in production yet. There are still 2017's around with discounts to $36k on a $45k rig. Of course getting a good deal off the one you are trading is another thing...LOL!

You know you are probably right so I ask everyone on this forum to please not buy a new JL. Let’s bring those FCA bastards to begging for sales, that’ll teach em!

Yes! I'm with you!

In spirit.

Because I'm still getting one.

but yeah. Let's go!

 

[Carlton_Banks]

Any of the dealers on here hear any word on the rebates yet?

Carlton the Ford F-150 destination is $1495 which is $50 more than the JL.

And the new Dodge Ram is even higher than that.

Meanwhile the competent japs can build a 4Runner in Japan and ship it here for cheaper than those.

Hopefully the future Ford Bronco throws a wrench in FCA's greedy assholey behavior. Here's hoping lol

I’ve been watching I haven’t seen anything on JK rebates yet

According to my good friend that owns a few dealerships, the rebates arent going to come, or at least there is no grand plan... ( perhaps they’ll be a little something at the bitter end for the few remaining) the JK stock isn’t an issue and the wrangler demand is still high... the price difference between the two is your “rebate”.

There is talk that Mahindra is considering the idea of selling the Thar in the USA. The Thar is basically a true CJ. If this happens it will be a huge blow to Chrysler. I'd buy a Thar in a heartbeat. They have held the Patent since WWII. More jeep than Fiat...
