What is your current monthly payment and loan payoff? How long is the current loan and how long will the new loan be?

 

...and you also have a bad ass rig as well! I've seen the videos.

 

Well considering I can get a new one like that any time of year with everything u listed plus color matched top and flares for 37k by driving couple hours away I would say not huge incentive

 

So recently a friend just did the same upgrade. He went back to Texas and got a great deal going from his Sahara to a Rubicon using a military discount no tax blah blah blah. They even let hit take most of his upgrades off the trade in and swap over to the Rubi. Fast forward 6 months and were out together on the trails over the weekend and I ask him if it was all worth it (he was one year into payments at time of trade) and his response to me was no. For the type of trails he likes to do I think the advantages of the rubi aren't fully being used and to be back at square one with payments probably surpassed the euphoria of a new Rubi. Not telling you what to do its all your decision...

 

Great feedback. I think I'm sticking with the Sport.

 

I think one thing to realize is that the dealer is offering roughly a 12% discount off of $42k MSRP, for a "discounted" price of $37k. MSRP is exactly that, manufacturer's SUGGESTED retail price, so you're receiving a discount off a slightly inflated price to begin with.

I've never paid MSRP for a vehicle, even when there were no rebates or incentives. So it's likely that the discount is perceived to be bigger than it actually is. This sounds like a typical month-end/ year-end sales push, i.e. a deal that you could find again, or beat, in the right circumstances.

 

That is one heck of a discount on a rig that is in high demand. Don't recall what I paid but believe it was a couple hundred or so over invoice, you are less than invoice I would guess. Mine listed for 42K also.

 

I didn't trade one in but was just in the position to buy a new one and went back and forth with the same thoughts. In my mind I needed a rubicon, did all the research on the added features and just knew I needed them all. Then reality finally sank in ( or should I say the boss added her thoughts) and like mentioned above I asked myself would I USE the rubi or did I just want it cause it was "cool". Needless to say I ended up buying a sport with a "package" of left ever Moab wheels, tires, and shocks. I have far from even tested the limits of the sport and am glad I have the extra money in my account. I do not regret not buying the rubicon at all... Just my .02cents

 

This sums up my thought process pretty well. Feeling good about keeping the Sport. Thanks!

 

My 2014 Sahara JKU MSRP was almost $42K and they sold it to me for $34K. Good deal. This includes the tax credit on the 2012 JK and the fact it was worth a little more than I owed, so realistcally they sold it to me for closer to $37K. I thought that was a fair deal. I wanted the four door and more creature comforts like auto and leather/heated seats, etc as it has become my daily driver. Everyone's situation is different and ultimately it's up to you. Either way you can't go wrong with a JK. They hold their value better than most any vehicle right now. Good luck!
