Anyone Have a Hookup for a Jeep Dealer?
« on: January 18, 2018, 01:44:19 PM »
Possibly looking to special order a JL Wrangler.

Attempting to get a decent price without traveling too far.  I am in Tampa, but dealer does not need to be.

Does anyone have / know someone who works in sales for a Jeep dealer? 

Thx!

Elaborate.  He manages / works at a CJD/R dealer?

Never knew...

Helped my daughter get a new car recently.  I've had good luck using Truecar, but not this time.  We scored a really good deal though by browsing car forum price paid topics.  Just find someone who's recently worked a good deal on the model you want and ask for a copy of their write up.  YMMV, but I couldn't get a dealer anywhere near the price I paid until I had that write up.  It was super easy after I got it though.

Thx for the advice.  Will see what I can do on one of the forums. 

I can get 1% under invoice pretty easy.  Some dealerships are offering upto 5% under invoice, but I may have to travel to get it.  Still would be worth it with all involved. 

If I do travel, it would literally be a "planes, trains and automobiles Jeeps" weekend.  Fly in, get Jeep and Auto Train back to Florida from DC area.

DC area is super competitive for new car sales.  I was looking for a new Civic Sedan and actually used Truecar in DC and locally.  I just couldn't nail down a competitive price.  A guy posted a killer deal on Edmund's forums that he got on an EXL at an Atlanta Autonation.  He gave me his write up and I started looking at our local Autonation dealers.  Found a comparable car, said "hey will you match this?" via web chat.  Other than hitting me up for an extra $100 on the dealer fee, they said no problem.  After all the BS I'd been through with trying to make a deal, I wasn't going to sweat $100.  They held the car and I picked it up on a Saturday.  OTD with a new tag was well under MSRP.

He deals in Cars ,trucks and Jeeps so I thought he may be worth a try as he is a good Pinball dealer/Owner/rep and probably carries into the Sales of vehicles too  .
