Nope. After seeing what my cost prices would be after the Travis discount I have for now decided not to buy one. Jeep charges too much, in my humble opinion. Look at the entire Jeep line of cars and this is their most expensive model. I got some back up vehicles in mind and I really don’t even need to trade right now. A year from now if the prices go down or if I find a great deal on a slightly used Gladiator then I might bite. For now I stay interested and try to offer helpful comments to readers here. It’s fun.
I hope you negotiated a better price than MSRP. My configuration preview shows 2 columns of pricing...one for MSRP and the other headed FWP which I assume is invoice. Below that, there are lines for "HB" (holdback?), FFP (affiliate pricing), and EP (employee pricing?). I am paying the amount that is on the FFP line which is just slightly above the EP amount and far enough below the invoice column to make me happy.Yup, my dealer contacted me Friday night and said he was putting orders in yesterday morning...kinda went overboard! I went back and forth on the upgraded wheels, and after seeing the one posted in this thread I’m really glad I did. Now to start ordering some Mopar accessories
Can you share the dealer name/location with everyone? Thx
This is always a consideration someone must make. For instance, Dennis Dillon originally offered me 5% below invoice on my JLU order. Faricy Boys in Colorado Springs offered me 3% below invoice on the exact Jeep I wanted, but they had it on the lot. The difference was about $800 bucks. I did the math on the trip to Boise, including the flight, hotel stays, my time, gas, etc. and decided rather quickly that the one hour drive to Colorado Springs was going to save me A LOT of money when I figured in my time.
That's great! they originally didn't want to work with you right? did you end up going to a different dealer?
Agreed. Same here. Went resto and having mucho fun. Just today the mechanic raised eyebrows twice. Building from an online menu is one thing. Building from history and imagination with scarce parts availability, different. Happy as a clam, but I'll be jealous.
Yes originally they weren’t taking orders bc they said the were missing pricing info.
I had Morehart Murphy (Durango) $400 under FFP pricing, Faricy (Co Springs) at FFP, Fort Collins Jeep at FFP plus fees. Grand Junction sent me a build with only MSRP column, and Flower Motor (Montrose) was MSRP. Sort of disappointed, cause Flower Motor and Grand Junction have been most responsive. Still leaning towards a family roadtrip from Iowa or Idaho ... Spencer (Iowa) got me a great price and Kent (ID) got my initial info late Friday night, so waiting to hear back on price. Discovered not all of my options are available so debating how long I hold off on purchasing.
Interesting. Grand Junction has been totally unresponsive to my requests on the last 2 Jeeps, including this one. I was also in there several months ago and asked a salesman to contact me when Gladiators were available. He did not. And when I visited them again a few weeks ago, another of their sales guys acted like he would be doing me a favor if he sold me a vehicle. Flower originally told me that "we are an invoice dealer" and that they would be able to offer a great deal, especially since a friend and I were each ordering nearly identical Rubicons. But when ordering actually opened, the sales guy at Flower said they had contacted numerous other dealers in Colorado and Arizona and all were sticking to MSRP or above. So it's apparently a conspiracy. The dealer in Silverthorne offered a fairly attractive price, but the dealer in Cortez came in under invoice with dealer fees significantly lower than Silverthorne. We ordered the 2 Gladiators from New Country in Cortez.
