How will the dealers keep up?

Not to open a can of onion soup. Although it is delicious! But we have seen in print this week that dealerships are reporting massive interest, list of buyers already. A small effort might be required to get their attention!

It is not offered as part of the affiliate program at this point but there is bo precedence that it shouldn’t be. 2019 MY vehicles are:

Eligible: All Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge (including SRT), Ram, FIAT, Alfa Romeo vehicles (+ Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio models - eligible as of 9-5-2018)

Ineligible: 500e, Pacifica Hybrid, Challenger Demon, Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

you're my savior. I'm just going to tell myself that there was no way i could get anything less than i paid for my Pacifica Hybrid.

Let me know what you find out, I sold cars in Fort Collins (12 years ago for 6 months), but I still know at least 2 people in the industry. Been waiting on price reveals from FCA before I really push hard for pricing specifics but I’ll update you on what I find out up here as well.

Fort Collins Jeep has been the worst so far ... guy kept asking for my phone number to text. When he realized I wasn't going to respond, he sends an email responding to some of my questions, states pricing in April, order end of April, and they anticipate $50K-$60K. I have ignored him since.

Prestige Jeep in Loveland is second worst, stated the JT was limited production vehicle and not a lot of wiggle room with pricing. Now they spam me with emails ... "If you haven't bought your _____ yet, come in and let us show you what we have. You will love the ____ we have in stock."

I was surprised Faricy (Co. Springs) and Pollard were not better, hoping they will be more competent when pricing is released and they have numbers to work from. Dealers are definitely ready to gouge the uneducated buyers.

I don't think any dealer would be brave enough to falsely advertise on these forums. I bet some of our members here are really scary people

You have no idea...

I have reached out to 13 Colorado dealers and one in Cheyenne ... Pollard is towards the bottom of my preference list at this point. I was very clear in my email to dealers, Pollard replied with MSRP and $2,000 deposit. They indicated they can do deeper discounts on JLs (implying they would not discount JTs). I let them know $2,000 was by far the highest deposit I have seen. I have some responses of zero deposit and others were $250. Nearly every dealer I spoke to indicated they would honor FCA affiliate pricing 1% under invoice (I did not specifically identify Tread Lightly).

Flower Motor in Montrose (yes, I contacted nearly everyone) indicated they sell JTs at invoice (that was without discussing FCA affiliates). They indicated no deposit and $399 dealer handling. I plan on following up with every dealer Saturday morning (assuming price released at 10pm Friday here) and going to let the games begin.

Hmm, he told me $1000 for a deposit. Not that it matters much to me. I only care if it is refundable.

Have you checked Prestige Jeep in Longmont? Just curious as to what they're asking...

Just one more note, I bought my JLU from Faricy Boys in Colorado Springs. That was perhaps the best buying experiences I have ever had. IMO they are worth the drive from Denver. Give them a holler and see what they are planning.
