Curious what people are payig in the past few weeks or days. I have contacted dozens of dealers and no one wants to negotiate much due to "shortage". Is this true or do I just suck at negotiating. Best offfer is MSRP $26,500 for $24,000.

 

Its true, the plants closed in 2009 for a long time, and when Chrysler was looking bleak many dealers didn't get orders in for stock, leaving very little inventory of 2009s. Wait a couple months for the 2010s to be around, now that they are showing up on lots I'm seeing the used market drop $1-2K already.

 

I went to a local stealership first and the salesman wouldn't even consider negotiating the sticker price. I told him to "pack sand" and left. I went to a dealership in the next town (just across the river) and played the game. For a 2009 X with numerous upgrades, including hard top, 368w Infinity sound system, 17 inch tires, and power package, they initially quoted me 29,559.00. I said, "that's nice, but it needs to be 28,000.00 including tax, tag, and title." The salesman went to talk to someone else about my offer and a different guy came out and said, "nope, it's 29,559.00 and that doesn't include tax, tag, and title. We sell these too fast and don't need to negotiate." I told him thanks, shook his hand and left.

I got as far as two intersections down the interstate and my phone rang. When I answered it, it was the initial salesman asking where I had gone. I told her the story (like she didn't know) and said that I was heading home. She told me that I needed to come back. I asked her if I really needed to waste my time to come back and she said, "yes". When I got there, she met me at the door and said, "how does 28,359.00 including tax, tag, and title sound". I said, "I just happen to have $359.00 in my pocket."

Best deal in the world, probably not, but I was happy. So, bottom line, $28,359.00 including tax, tag, and title.

 

$22,900 for my X in Oct. 07

 

I paid $30,550 for a new 2007 Unlimited Rubicon out the door in Oct. 2007. Have since added about $3K in mods.

 

Last month, bought a 2007 Used Wrangler X - only $14K. Eat your hearts out. I LOVE IT! It's the greatest thing ever! And like brand new. (Private sellers are the best sometimes)

 

08 Sahara Unlimited for 30k + 20K for Mode

 

$34,600 got me a loaded 2010 Stone White Rubi w/ 4" RC suspension lift, Currie Rock front lower & rear upper adj CA's, JKS front & rear trackbars, and (5) 35x12.50 R16 Geolandar MT's on Pro comp 7089's. All lift components warranted from the dealer. I'm pretty content.

Nope, still ordered. My dealer is getting it's first 2010 rubi on monday, Flame red/auto. Mine is being delivered who knows when lol. Basicallly i've got this $4000 pile of parts sitting at the dealer waiting for it to show up.
