Default Thinking about a Rubicon - thoughts on price?

Hi All,

I'm new around here but have looked around a bit and see a lot of useful information. I am seriously considering getting a NEW 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon very soon. The ones I am looking at are 6spd manual, hard-top (only), so pretty basic.

MSRP is $33,575
$1500 Great Lakes Incentive
I also have supplier pricing.
Out the door price is $31,785

I thought with the 2010 Wranglers coming out, there might be more flexibility in pricing. Does this price seem reasonable?

Thanks in advance for the input.

I don't know in USA, but in Canada, the 2010 Rubicon is more expensive than last year.
Around 37000$ CAN + taxes for an unlimited (all fees included)

I bought my 6 speed Rubicon Unlimited (my second one) last week. I had the chance to find a 2008 demo with 4000 miles. Including Sirius/GPS, side airbag
I paid 31000$ + taxes CAN

With supplier pricing that sounds about right. I bought my 2010 last Thursday and missed the $1500 incentive but did get lifetime powertrain warranty.

That's about right. The crazy deals that were out several months ago have long since passed.

Thanks for the input.

I think I'm down to $31,000 flat out the door.

Didn't know 2010 had lifetime powertrain warranty, thought it was going to a transferable 5yr/100,000mi deal?

i think the sales tax on a new car is tax deductible on your federal return next year, if you buy it this year, as a result of the first stimulus package

You had the option for 5 year transferable or lifetime nontransferable up until 9-18-2009. Thats what my dealer told me. I did not try dealing OTD price since i can get my tax money back when i file. I did end up about $30,500 OTD on a $33,150 MSRP and no rebates or incentives.
