Yeah, absolutely. For me the 9K I made on my car became my down payment, 2K in rebates, 8% off the car. I’m spending 1K+ to go get it but I’m calling that a vacation so it’s an easy excuse. Even with $1,500 to go and retrieve the car and drive it home I’m still only going to pay $46,500 out of my pocket with all taxes, fees and interest included on a 55K truck. I’m very happy.
Renee (she) is Daniel's assistant as I understand it. I am guessing they are dividing and conquering the 80 or so Jeeps they just got in. After Jeep Chat confirmed delivery Monday, I emailed Daniel and have not heard back from him. Then I got a new email from Renee this morning.
Wait so after all this the dealer is only 8% under MSRP? I'm confused then - why did you post and claim it was an 8+% under invoice deal?
I'm glad you had a good dealer experience, but this reads like typically BS fed by dealers who want to try and convince someone the Gupton price isn't legit by muddying the waters and injecting FUD into the conversation. The Gupton offer/discount is clearly legit available and doesn't bundle in any esoteric discounts aside from Tread Lightly which you also utilized.
Well the contract I work on for DoD is very strict in regards to hours and billing periods......honestly its beyond the scope or reason for me to explain here. I can assure you, if I'm ordering a new Mojave on top of my current JL Rubicon...... the hourly rate does come into play.
Fair enough, you seem like a good dude and I hope you enjoy your Jeep.
I don't know that this means. MSRP and invoice should be fixed firm numbers at every dealer in the continental US. Of course where one goes from there is dealer and customer dependent, but people are citing examples of very similar Jeep builds (mine included) with pretty differing pricing. I respect that given your geography you may have made a heck of a deal, but ultimately from what's been disclosed you still paid a good deal more because of the different dealer pricing baselines. Again it's your Jeep, your time, and your money to spend as you wish, but with respect to others reading the thread, this seems more an example of "I value my time at a high hourly rate" and not really "there are lots of costs to the Gupton path which erode the savings."
Playing around loosely with the old pricing spreadsheet from the sticky, an MSRP of $54,760 (using random options to get close to the number since the price data is outdated) results in an invoice price of $51,703. 8.3% under that is $47,411. Adding $4K back for doc fee and TTL (and rounding), and you're at $51.5K. If the lifetime drivetrain warranty is $3,500, then that makes sense. No idea what those go for though. Not sure if that's adding any clarity at all... A dealer near DC is WAY better for me than one in the middle of nowhere, so I'd really be happy if this checked out.
Those warranties are non-transferable dealer-specific warranties that require all of the factory scheduled maintenance to be performed at the issuing dealership. They're legit as far as they go, but they remove the possibility of doing your own maintenance or using a third party shop, and sometimes remove the ability to choose between standard or heavy use schedules. They're good fits for someone who is already going to be doing all scheduled maintenance at one dealer and will keep doing so even as the vehicle ages (to capture the 'lifetime' benefit) and who, of course, won't be moving their Jeep out of the area.
When I emailed with him earlier, he said that since the order was marked a Sold Order and was ordered before 10/1, it should still be good for the discount. Hopefully that stands! I went ahead and generated a code before the 1st just to be safe too.
I got a reply from him today after I had asked him about it. He said to send over my control number and letter to be on the safe side. So I guess that means yes.
