In NM it's all aspects. Last time I bought a new car in state was 1969! Have done well out of state since then, but deals are getting further away with each purchase. I suppose if I lived long enough, probably would eventually be dealing in Australia.
One advantage we have in NM is a trade never needs to be considered. All we need to do is wait for someone to steal it, then look for a good deal. Sanctuary state, but no fires, hurricanes, quakes, or tornadoes; just dust and politicians.
Coming from a very tenured sales background (not cars) I would've suggested that you look at a lower-priced model to get you within your price expectations and budget. If you told me that you really wanted the higher-priced model, then I would know that you knew the price expectations, could afford it, and I would not negotiate further. It's called a take-away technique.
Yep you’re correct.
Good callout- people want top trade in value but they don’t want to pay CPO or even used Wrangler pricing which is near or more than new sticker price. Which way is it?
)What a valuable contribution.8% under invoice?? OTD - without outrageous fees?* Totally!!! GET it immediately!!!! Anyone who does not do that will have me come and throw some dunce pie at them!!!
* HOWEVER! please watch out for other cash padding such as documentation fees (some state are allowed to have unspecified amount - New Jersey charges like $400 in addition to plate fees, NY have a limit of $75 but they might charge you $350 for plate fees.)
If the quotation comes with miscellaneous fees such as side passenger fees, dog permit fees, first door opening fees, dealership suck up fees, dealership decals fees, valet your Jeep from their parking lot to the sales office fees, outrageous bad dealership coffee fees, stupid-proof fees - okay okay attempt at being sarcastic and inane here - then your 8% invoice is not worth it. Oh an you should never pay for I-did-not-offer-you-to-pull-my-finger-fees. Okay I will stop!
Speaking about my experience with pulling fingers, I used to go to college down south and I met a lot of awesome friends and families. Being a foreign student back then, I think one of the most traumatic culture shock moment was when I pulled my friend's brother finger when he asked me to do it and he farted a big one. I was never the same ever!! *crawls into fetal position and starting to sucking my thumb*
If you can get 3% this time of year, it's a very good deal. 7+?% on inventory, December 31. 6-8% on factory orders, late January or late February; then price goes up. You really should go with a Rubi. I'm speaking from the experience of suffering the expense of trying to after market all the traction goodies with inferior upgrades which attempt to mimic the Rubicon. Moreover, you're not going to be able to after market push button disconnects at any price. A base Rubicon with hard top is the best deal. Work with bumpers after that. Factory steel bumpers are a rip off.
Change of subject, but why do you prefer the hard top? Wanted to go soft top just because it’s easy to take off, and living in TX plan to have it off a lot. The hard top just seems like a PITA to get on/off and store.
I saw plenty of tornadoes when I was stationed in Clovis! Sorry, not trying to hijack and derail the thread
I think that in the current market, that’s a good price.Update for anyone interested. Found a dealer that I think is going to come in at around 3% below invoice on the 2021 Rubi order. Waiting for them to send final pricing over. Sent yet another email to the dealer I ordered the Sahara from detailing this as a "last" chance to actually reply to my emails and give me a good offer by tomorrow.....we'll see where this goes.
If they don't reply back by tomorrow, I'll call to tell them deal is off and go with the Rubi (which, I'll probably do that anyway even if they get back with me
I didn’t. What’s your experience with them?
Get online and shop. I found a new 2018 and saved $7k over the 2019 I was looking at and had it shipped to my front door. The local dealers around here don't negotiate and apparently don't realize that customers are willing to shop elsewhere. That's the second time I've purchased a new Jeep from somewhere else after giving the local dealership the opportunity to earn my business. Now the only thing I will use them for is recall service.
