Greetings,

Just recently joined.

Currently do not have JT but plan to get on first part of next year.

I currently have a 2008 2dr JK....before that a 2000 TJ....and before that a 1992 Cherokee :)

Been reading up and learning everything I can on these forums :)

At my age this will mostly likely be my last Jeep so:

As of today I am looking at ordering:

  • JT RUBICON - punk'n metallic
  • 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC 850RE TRANSMISSION (DFT)
  • TRAILER TOW PACKAGE (ABR)
  • PREMIUM LED LIGHTING GROUP (AD6)
  • 8.4" RADIO AND PREMIUM AUDIO GROUP (AEK)
  • AUXILIARY SWITCH GROUP (AM2)
  • CARGO MANAGEMENT GROUP WITH TRAIL RAIL SYSTEM (CMD)
  • BLACK FREEDOM 3-PIECE HARD TOP (HT1)
  • LT285/70R17C BSW M/T TIRES (TWG)
  • WINCH-CAPABLE STEEL FRONT BUMPER (MC6)
  • SPRAY-IN BEDLINER (XMF)
  • BODY-COLOR FENDER FLARES 2-PC (MM3)
  • REMOTE PROXIMITRY KEYLESS ENTRY (GXD)
  • LEATHER TRIMMED BUCKET SEATS (ALX9_black)

I live in central Florida, so will begin the fun part of contacting dealers probably in Dec....Mostly likely will end up out of state since from what I have seen dealers around me suck (i.e are MSRP or greater)

Anyhow, look forward to it and participating.

With any luck I will be able to place order sometime in Dec....hopefully by then dealers around here will have removed their heads from their ..... =P

I do have family in NC....so might end up making a trip out of the whole thing.

Give Rich Bridges at Jim Browne Jeep in Dade City, Fl a call. I believe they are willing to do 3% under invoice for JT orders

Thanks....added to my list.

I live on the SE side of Seminole county.....so might also contact some of the space coast dealers.

My previous two Jeeps (my JK and my wife's Renegade) we bought at Fields in Sanford.

I also have no idea what to do with the JK... will be ~12 years old. I have, no need to keep it...but doubt trading it will be worth it. Its got a few scars and about 72k miles.

Add New Smyrna CJD to your list. Just placed order with Chase Firestone there. Giving 4% below list. Great dealership to work with.

Is that 4% off MSRP, or 4% below invoice?

What’s the wheeling like in Florida? Just got word that we’re expanding into Orlando and Tampa so about half of the next year I’ll be down there

Just a quick estimate but your Jk would probably go for $14k to $17k depending on model and options.

Im in the Altamonte Springs/Apopka area. Drove to NC to get mine from Travis at a great deal. I've been in the JKU family and have wheeled a few places in FL from Holopaw (Suburban) to Ocala and I really love it here. Jeep Beach is great too. FL is awesome for Jeepers.
