CEO Predicts Gladiator will Canabalize a Portion of Wrangler Sales

[5JeepsAz]

Very occasionally I offend people I consider near and dear.

My apologies to my rich bastardos Jeepin friends who are buying a geared up Rubi. Much respect!

I in no way meant you don't give a shit even if those were my exact words.

What I should have said was...

Quality is more important to high end buyers who expect to pay commensurately when value exceeds.

That said, I think price becomes unhinged at higher end. How else do we get to 65K?

Well, I can't answer that one either . . . hard as I try, jeep Financial won't let me into their Brain . AND that is exactly what JEEP is counting on . . . they know there is a certain clientele ($$$$) that don't really give a Hoot once the cost exceeds a certain point, as long as the clientele GET what they want ! And it's these same clientele who also don't really concern themselves with any after buying "shop" costs . For "them," I'm guessing, money burns more slowly, and perhaps may "grow on trees" . ( ? )

My Rubi will be no where near $65K.

WELL, I'LL SAY THIS . . . I APPROVE OF YOUR NEW AVATAR PHOTO ! I've been trying to get JAY to help post mine - the one over at the JL site (where i'm known as Lou3.6). Apparently it's too large for HERE but ok size over their ! (?).

Can't you just save it at a lower quality?

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH ! That worked I tried yours 1st before attempting to resize myself . It's funny (sad?) that in my 20 years in the Navy working on 3 different multi-million dollar sonar systems - mechanically & electronically troubleshooting and usually found a way to solve most issues - here, not so much ! Again thanks.

Getting back on track -- for all the "Flesh Eaters" - This could temporarily be a GOOD thing for Price Negotiating ! The Laws of Supply & Demand may not be on OUR side, with a Potential for a shortage of Both JL and JT at start up ! With the RUSH to Dealers in a Frenzy of excitement for the New Gladiator . . . poor little JL Wranglers will be saying, " hey, what about ME, no love for ME ?" Here is where YOUR salesmanship comes to play, IF you really do want a JL ! On the other hand the Sales-folk will be wondering - JL or JT ? The JT will be so New and they'll really want to sell them as fast as they arrive on the lot - to get them on the road for the locals to SEE it ! Play it right and we can have it good BOTH ways ! ?
Or Not ! ? . . . CLASS is now in session . . . 1st Lesson . . . "buyer negotiating tactics," the good, bad, and ugly of it all ! . . . . oh no, do we have another thread topic ?
