Hello everyone, considering purchasing a Gladiator Launch edition. I have found a dealership that is relatively close to me and has 5 of the Launch edition vehicles in stock (No idea how they have this many) and was looking into purchasing one. As of right now, their asking price for the one I was interested in is $55,810. Is this a good price? Where should the sweet spot be? Any and all help is much appreciated, thanks.

I would guess 55k is pretty good. Arent they mostly 60k+?

This is a invoice for a Launch Edition

They are, they're around $63K MSRP, wasn't sure if I should be looking for a certain percentage off of MSRP or invoice

$55k is a good price for a LE. But considering they have atleast 5 LEs at their lot, you can prob get it lower especially since it’s the end of the month!

Is that just the a Jeep, or OTD With tax, tags, everything? I managed to get an LE that the dealer had be sitting on for 3 months for just over $56k OTD about 2 weeks ago.

That's just asking. Asked what they would give me for my trade and claimed they used KBB for the offer. Would've been fine doing it if it was actually KBB, but offered me $12K under. Still on the look out for a LE though!

You can typically get down to 5-6% below invoice on new builds.

It's a discount from the dealer...

I’m in the same boat. I’ve been talking to a local dealer (Around Boston) about a red LE they’ve had since August/September. I got them to agree to 5% below invoice ($55,500), but can’t get them where I want on my 2018 JLU Rubicon. We are only about $500 or so apart, but I’m not budging out of principle. I came up about a grand over where I told myself I wanted to be and will wait them out for the rest. I want a Gladiator, but don’t NEED a truck right now, so we’ll see what happens. And there is no shortage of LE’s on dealer lots. I found 17 of them within 25 miles of me.

I get the pride and principle thing, but time is not your friend. The longer you wait and every month that passes, the depreciation on your trade and the delta between what they will now give you on the trade will only widen.

They are not going to write on your Tombstone that you got to beat the dealer on $500. Me personally, I would not let that amount separate me from a deal.

How did you find how many were in your area?

How did you find how many were in your area?

just looked up local dealers on Jeep’s website and checked the inventory on the sites of the five or six closest ones.
