For the benefit of everyone, please post any information you come across regarding any new incentives that Jeep comes out with on October 1 or 2 on the remaining 08 and new 09 models. With the new $25 Billion worth of government loan guarantees for the auto makers, several months supply of 08models still sitting on lots and production of 09s having started in late July, I think we'll see increased incentives on all models in the next couple of days.

In particular, if you hear of any "hidden" dealer incentives, it would be great if you would post it.

Thanks!

September's incentives and the "Shop till you Drive" campaign have been taken off the Jeep website. What's next???

Incentives should be better in October, Looking to buy a 08 x

A dealer just told me that the new October incentives will be out tomorrow.

Hopefully they will be good incentives

Man I hope so. I just passed on 5500 off an 08 rubi last night. 0% plus would make me have a happy squirt.

I need really good incentives, Trading a 04 Liberty with 100,000 miles and owe 10,000 on it. traded in a yr old wtangler for the Libby because we were having twins. Rolled quite a lot.

Here's the scoop. Tonight, I got a dealer down to $3000 below invoice on a fully loaded 2008 Wrangler 4dr Rubicon (w/ the Nav package and NO miles). That translates into about $6000 below MSRP. That's about $2000 better than I saw in the NE market in September. Every resource I've called on or looked at says that there MUST be a big hidden dealer incentive that just kicked in today. As of October 1, Edmund's says that in NE there's a $1000 customer incentive (it's $1500 or $1750 elsewhere) , $400 marketing support and about $3000 difference between the MSRP and the Invoice on a fully loaded 4dr Rubicon. That only totals a $4,400 discount off MSRP, not $6000. Even if you factor in the holdback of approximately $1000, there's still $600 missing. However, I DON'T think that the dealer is giving me their holdback or their marketing support. That means there's $2000 missing in the amount they're willing to discount the Wrangler.

WHERE IS THE OTHER MONEY FOR THE DISCOUNT COMING FROM??? It must be a hidden dealer incentive. If anyone can find out what that dealer incentive is, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the input and Happy Trails!!!

I'm working two other dealerships to get the best deal. I'll post where they come out later today and let everyone know how I did.
