Also I suggest making it clear you're ready and willing to buy - it anecdotally seems like he triages his emails a bit and de-prioritizes general inquiries from what could be disparagingly referred to as 'tire kickers.'
Good luck with sale, this is a 'unicorn offering.'
I'd happy drive if I was in the market, but 1) this would probably be $4k painted and that's rough versus $1k for tube doors even given how awesome half doors are; and 2) I just can't get over the alignment mismatch from the rear door to the...
I live not too far away. Trust me the roads go all the way from us to Tennessee :)
A good deal on a car hauler (purchased via a bidding site) would be like $600-$800. If you really truly can't make the trip but would be paying thousands more locally you may be able to do the paperwork remotely...
This contradicts what I've heard from more or less all sources including the 'good' warranty sellers who aren't trying to drive any local service work.
BUT I've often been looking at this from the context of the (more restrictive) MaxCare warranty so it's possible I'm wrong, but I'd want to be...
Interested to know this too. I want to install 35s right away, and if necessary I'll just set up an appointment with a nearby tire shop. But it sure would be easier to have the tires installed on-site and then the speedo calibrated at the same time (and, dare I hope, receive some sort of credit...
I'd trade for a powertrain upgrade, otherwise probably not. Any mods I do would be swappable pretty easily, but Gecko is a lot more valuable to me than UConnect 5 or most anything else added to the interior.
IMHO Carvana is far from a joke. They might (MIGHT!) be below a dealer which knows they’ll put the truck on their lot, but they’re great for auction-destined vehicles due to their lower margins. In any case both my buddy and I have sold Jeeps to them and they’ve been more than fair, in my own...
I stopped being lazy and checked the sheet :) Yes, there is a dramatic difference in MSRP-to-invoice spread across trims. It's about 1.5% in a vanilla Sport and just shy of 5% in a Mojave. That makes an 'under invoice' Mojave (or Rubicon) substantially more discounted relative to MSRP than a...
Looks like we all asked slightly different things :)
For what it's worth I asked if I'd be covered if I went ahead and got my control number prior to 10/1 and he said that was a good idea just to be safe. You will note he did NOT say the discount wouldn't be honored otherwise, but getting the...
Your life looks awesome!
I feel like you sort of know the smart choice is something like a 2010 Tacoma 4cyl manual - simple, reliable, likely cheap to fix. If your roads were better and hearing you'd like a second car, I'd suggest the Tacoma plus something fun and topless like a v8 Mustang. But...
This. Same with TrueCar. There are great dealers where this will mean a 1% impact, and there are terrible dealers forum members will never buy from anyways, but for dealers in the middle that want MSRP but will honor the TL pricing (or TrueCar or Costco, etc.) this is a loss.
Isn't there a...
Three steering wheels!? I know any vehicle can be a bad experience and in general I try not to do "Fords/Chevys/Rams are trash" type comments because they've all produced lemons, but three steering wheels is wild :)
Replying to myself, the OP said: "The new Wagoneer platform has the same 4xe as the Wrangler."
Do we have any source for that specific statement? If not I'm going to continue to think the OP was confused about the Grand Cherokee 4xe which was literally announced today.
Thank you, but those citations do not say what the OP claims. For example (emphasis mine):
"What exactly powers a possible Wagoneer 4xe remains a mystery. It's possible Jeep calls on the Wrangler 4xe's 375-hp setup, which uses a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and two electric motors. That...
I link to what I see as the relevant language in this post: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/getting-ready-to-order-from-gupton-need-to-get-my-ducks-in-a-row.49266/page-2#post-798841
The money quote on the TL page is: "FCA WILL BE UPDATING THEIR ELIGIBLE VEHICLES STARTING...
I agree and this has been my contention in other posts. TL had added terms and conditions for NEW signups but I would have expected, and somewhat still expect, legacy members to be grandfathered in.
Who the heck knows. The car business is weird and old school and is protected by statute re: online competition and by manufactures re: local geographic competition. So we don't have the same sort of discovery process which happens in less regulated, more competitive fields.
If I were...
