1% below invoice should be the absolute ceiling for anyone doing a factory order. The floor should be about 8% below invoice, if you're willing to go to Idaho to pick it up. The demand factor will only come into play regarding pricing on 2 fronts: Jeep's initial price point, which we have no...

Yeah, I'm in it for the boost/seamless integration of the ESS system. I'm all for any help on the mpg side, and the BSG engines actually have beefed up internals to deal with the stop-start cycle better over time. No alternator, less wear and tear on the starter and battery, 70hp boost off the...

Oh, this is pure ass-speak. I'm just hoping for that BSG to come soon, because it's holding up my JL order. Pretty good ass-speak, though, right? Sounds authoritative...

Base Rubicon Gladiator: $49,395+destination. Base Sport(S):$42,495+destination. (I think they will combine most of the Sport/Sport S specs into one Sport version) Yikes... Diesel will be a $5500 option (only because it will require an automatic: $3500 diesel+$2000 auto). The JT will launch with...

Well, there are nearly infinity other things he could have said, but when the director of the brand says things like "...demand is exceptionally strong," and "It's exceeded our expectations.", the implication is that they have underestimated the market, and, since they aren't going to increase...

This does not bode well for pricing: per Scott Tallon: "The early indication in demand is exceptionally strong,” Tallon said. “It's exceeded our expectations. So overwhelmingly positive and so we're just excited now to focus on getting it to market, which we'll do here in the second quarter of...

Many will ship, and there are threads (or were) on the JLWrangler forum for reliable shippers, if you want to arrange it yourself. The only issue becomes the paperwork, as many dealers are leery of doing everything via mail/email. But the shipping cost will considerably bite into any savings you...

I know we're all just spit balling when it comes to pricing, but a base JL is $33k with zero options (but including $1495 destination). A Sport JL with auto and hard top is $36k. There is simply no feasible way that the JT, with a longer wheelbase and heavier-duty components is going to be...

Visit the JLWrangler sister site where there are tons of info regarding factory orders. The long and short, Jeep allows you to configure your exact vehicle, which they will build to spec and deliver to the dealer you order/purchase through. That dealer will set the price for the unit, and this...

Jeep dealers have, for some time, been offering below invoice prices on any factory offer. As Jody mentions, they incur no direct cost, it has no impact on their dealer allotment and they pocket the entire holdback on the vehicle (which on a Wrangler, for example, is around $1600) while helping...

After you order with a $40000 deposit, tell your CEO/CFO/SO that you thought the $40k limit was for the down payment... "But, honey the deposit is non-refundable."

Not as much as the price will. (trolling complete)

They will be...once they're about 8-10 years old.

You know, I did consider this, but he's actually pushing me towards the JT, telling me to go to the configurator at Jeep.com, build one, and he'll price it out as soon as the info drops, with absolutely no mention of the "right here, right now" JL, which the way things are looking, I'll probably...

I would recommend patience with Kent. From what I see on JLWranglerforum, he's been on vacation and is inundated with JL orders. He's probably back-burnering the Gladiator requests at least until he gets concrete numbers anyway. From all accounts over there, he is extremely easy and...

I had considered that possibility, but I wondered "Why would he fabricate an invoice price, especially one that is so much higher than anyone anticipated?" I couldn't come up with a decent reason, as I only contacted him to request a brochure and never discussed interest in the JL (maybe he...

A few points: I feel, at least from what I've read here and on JLWrangler forum, that there are a lot of potential Wrangler buyers who are waiting to see JT prices before pulling the trigger. I, myself, am one of them. I don't feel that the Gladiator will "hurt" JL sales. It's more of a...

A sensible person would most likely agree, but Jeep's reply will be something like: "Then go buy one of the other Rubicon-capable 4-door convertible 7600 lb. towing cult-status pick up trucks out there."

I'm kinda still hoping this is just one salesman trying to gauge market tolerance, and that the actual premium will be lower, but even half that will scare off many on here. I know they don't want to cannibalize JL sales (which a similar price point would most certainly do) and they are looking...

So...just got a call from a local dealer who just got out of a meeting with his Jeep rep. He was told that pricing on the JT will be at an across-the-line $7800 premium over a comparable JL. If this is accurate, this is bad news, and even more than I was pessimistically expecting. And, even...
