Ballooning Inventory- sales slowing?

[Rollcast]

I'm curious if anyone has tried pushing for 6-7% below invoice on a sold order and gotten it.

My local dealer has 225 between their 3 locations.

I have still yet to see only 2 JT on the highways of Houston and I drive hundreds of miles each week all around Houston, Katy, Galveston, Humble, etc. I've seen one in Katy and one in Galveston. The dealer lots are full of them and they don't seem to interested in coming off the prices much. I know a number of folks who would likely buy one from talking to them but not at the price points right now. If the Sport and Sport S would come down in price some I think you would see more of them getting purchased.

I wouldnt say I've seen a LOT around here, but at least 10 different ones. I drive from the woodlands to sugarland and back every day for work. They're out there...but not as much as I expected. Wranglers are a dime a dozen on the sam houston and I45.

Yea I see a lot of Wranglers all over the road. I went to Texan Dodge few weeks ago and they had a lot of them on the lot. I've seen one here in Katy where I am at.

I think in my usual area of travel around where I live...I might in total have seen 5 or 6 JTs since launch.

Any thoughts on 3rd quarter sales figures? 16,000 Gladiators. My initial thought was jeez thats not great, compared to almost 60k Wranglers. I mean come on Ram sold about that same number of promaster work vans, and dodge sold more challengers.

Not to mention Toyotas impressive taco figure at 65k, and the new Ranger (which I never see more than 1-2 on large dealer lot) at 26k

Yet most of the journalist’s comments I saw were very positive on that 16k number...

JT seems to be a niche vehicle. Guess you have to really want it. Couple buddies were interested but for the price said they would buy a full size truck like a 1500 before the JT.

I see a TON of wranglers and have seen only 2 other JTs in 2 months

Actually, I do see a TON of wranglers but i'de say 90+% of them are JKs. Surprisingly small # of JLs considering they been out now for going on 3 years. I wonder how JK sales @ 3 years compared to JLs at 3 years.

Here in North VA I see Rubicons discounted a lot, from $5 to 11K. Between the initial high prices and now steering concerns, people are holding back.

After Lindsay gets done adding back in what they took out, the price should be about 5% below invoice.
Bought my JKU from them, but it took some back and forth to get remotely close to the advertised price.

I pass a dealership daily and I see the same trucks for weeks. They just moved the Gladiators from the front of the lot and replaced the line with minivans.

i checked jeep.com and 74 Gladiators on lots in a 12 mile radius.

84 within 25mi of me but you would get more results using cars.com Jeep’s website didnt have as many new JTs as cars.com was showing

Just curious-

Looking online at the JTs sitting on dealer lots in my area and I can tell you that most of them include garbage option choices. These are trucks without any of the "truck" options included. Advanced Safety Package, but no Trailer Tow or Bedliner? No thanks.

But im in Central Florida so all 114 are MSRP+ =P
