Long story short, the $65k Gladiator with a planned Q4 $42k 392 upgrade didn’t make it past the accountant. I see the writing on the wall with 15% discounts and it’s a matter of time (Q4 23 - Q1 24) until the used / wholesale market dumps the value. I sold it back to the dealer taking...
He's getting his info from multiple sources which should be taken with a grain of salt.
The fix he's received for several EcoDiesel failures is to replace the entire fuel system, clean the tank, etc.. which came down from a star case.
Talking with my dealer shop foreman, he said they've received info on the "fix" and it's about $12k per vehicle and involves replacing the entire fuel system. He's waiting to see if there is an inspection or verification process to proceed with the work. The other side of the discussion is...
I had no problem either. I laid on my back upside down on the seat - head in the foot well, feet in the air. With my forehead flash light, I was able to see what I was doing and got my gorilla hands up in there. I didn't come out unscathed, but moving slowly and knowing what would bite me and...
Honda made this change decades ago and it worked out well for them. Base, LX, EX, EX-L and minor variants build off the latter and it’s simple. Their customer base is significantly different from Jeep but I can imagine the economy of scale Stellantis would realize making this change, but what...
I’ve got a 2023 Rubicon with the tow package and my results vary depending on the trailer. The most recent U-Haul 6 x 12 utility trailer I rented seemed like a wheel bearing was failing as I spent most of my time in 6th gear. The one before that (same trailer different unit) rode like a dream...
Saving $10 - $15k now and hating it every day for the next 36 - 48 months will never make up for wishing you had bought what you wanted in the first place.
There is a 2023 Rubicon in Prosper with $11.5k off...
Cut the filter open and show us the business side of the filter. Open the pleats and see what kind of metal is in the filter, not just on the housing. When mine blew, I had just over an ounce of shavings in the filter and surely more in the lines and stuck in the injectors.
That little...
This should be two separate transactions and I'd take the $10k down payment off the table for now.
Sell them yours for $36k and set the proceeds aside for now.
Deal on the one you want and dangle $18k ($10k you bring and $8k from the sale of yours) in front of them.
Once there's no trade...
0% financing is often in lieu of discounts. The dealer and the captive lender is always going to make their money. Do the math and you MAY find that a 10-20% discount more than makes up for the finance charges you would have saved with a lower APR.
