Any other FL peeps? I'm in SW FL. Not sure how good the jeep dealerships are down here. I did buy a used one years ago at Dougas Jeeps in Venice. Wondering if I could get any sort of discount for returning customer. Worth a try.

I am... But I am not sure where yet. Last time I bought my JK here in Orlando I used the Tread Lightly discount and emailed a bunch of dealers. I will probably be doing the same...

Good luck with Douglas Jeep in Venice. I'm in SWFL as well and I tried to buy my JL from them. They gave me pricing via email on an ordered unit and then when I went in the numbers changed significantly. Fed me a big line of BS. Trying to tell me it was impossible for dealers to sell the JL at 5-6% under invoice.

I'm in, eventually.
I'll be using Tri City in Eden, NC. Totally done playing with these South Florida pay MSRP or more and add a grand or more fees on top of that crap.
I was going to 4/4 it but hearing that they can't run the deal, plus the lack of colors, plus I really want diesel, I'll wait.

I am. I bought my JL from Dayton Andrew's in St Pete and got ~6% below invoice. If they can do the same on a Gladiator I'll be going back there. Otherwise I might order from one of the higher volume dealers up north.

I am also. In the Fort Lauderdale area, but will drive wherever can get the best deal. My Sierra Denali lease isn’t up for another year though.

I'm in Orlando. I've purchased from Field's in Sanford (North Orlando) and West Colonial in Orlando. I haven't been blown away by the deal or experience at either dealership. I'd be interested in a better option if available in Florida, but probably not worth the hassle for me to venture more than a few hours from home.

2019 JLU my 19th Jeep
I plan on factory ordering mine in the coming weeks when order banks finally open. I have been talking to Chase Firestone from New Smyrna Jeep on and off for at least eight months about JL's and JT's. Our last email over the weekend he was guessing at 4% below invoice but can possibly do more depending on what his dealer tools tell him when they can finally place an order. Overall, I have had really bad experiences with Jeep dealers here in the Tampa Bay area so traveling some distance seems like my only option. No guarantee I will order with New Smyrna as I want the best deal just like everyone else, especially on a 50K+ Rubicon JT.

With great power comes great (ir)responsibility ha! I have been for a while now just lurking in the dark corners watching everything. Plus, being a mod means I need to get a Gladiator or im not officially official.

Is your JT in your contract for your mod duties?
