I just ordered a sunset orange Hard Rock JKU simply because the used pricing was absolutely nuts (guys here trying to sell slightly modded Rubicons for more than I'd pay new).

I'm Costco Executive and priced their no-haggle option. Price wasn't bad, but the AR pricing through my employer was much better. I also signed up somehow on Jeep's website, and then they sent me a $500 off voucher as well. I'm looking at around $39,900 + TTL for a very loaded Hard Rock (manual trans). I realize now that I got suckered into paying for the max tow package, but eh...

If your employer (or a friend near you), can't get AR pricing, I think it's worth signing up for Tread Lightly for $100 (versus Costco pricing). You can always use this written price to shop dealers against each other. Around here the dealers won't budge (in fact they are asking MSRP + $3k).

 

Chingon is right, dealers around here are asking for higher then MSRP too. There is little budging going on with the dealers. The JKs are just moving well and fast. You've gotta use a program to get a deal. I have a 14 JKUR auto and sticker was 42k. I got it for 36k with Costco and with car trade in and TTL I was 36.5 out the door. Had everything I wanted except heated seats but I got the dealer to install those for free. I think I could of gotten more out of them honestly, but I'm happy with how it all went.

I looked at getting a used one verses new and it had to have the new engine cause I didn't want the 3.8 again. The used ones with the 3.6 go for 38-39k around here. So, I got mine cheaper then a new one.
