Rubi search: Impressed by some dealers, embarrassed for others

[Vawildjeep]

I have to say that several dealerships have impressed me, and a couple of others have really dropped the ball. I feel like I have done a lot of research and searching for information on the new Rubicon I want to purchase. I am by no means an expert as I have never owned a Jeep, but want to feel like an “informed buyer”. After visiting, talking to or communicating via mail/text with several of the dealers in my local area as well as a several within a couple of hours drive of me, I can tell you with a certainty that there is a HUGE disparity in not only pricing, but also knowledge about their product. I was very close to signing on the dotted line for mine last month and couldn’t be happier that I walked away last minute. I encourage everyone to do their homework when buying. My biggest issue now is that I will have to get my Jeep serviced at one of these local dealerships at some point, which is scary.

I went to a dealer on Friday to talk about ordering a 2 door Rubicon/3.6L/Auto. When they tried to put it in for pricing, they told me it wasn't available on their computer, I didn't see it as an option either. About two hours later they called and said they could put in the order, but haven't told me what their dealer fees are, after I asked. They just responded with "What do you want them to be". I'll be calling a couple more dealers on Monday, I was hoping to use my first one though.

For sure check out the recommended dealer thread and the map of dealers thread. Best pricing by far came from a some that were several hours away from me but well worth the drive. We shall see if any of my local dealers price match, but I highly doubt it.
