Since it has taken you this long to post pictures, you now are required to do the following as your screen name implies.
1. Post picture of your JT on the streets of South Beach at night with a club in the background. I want to see neon lights.
2. There must be at least three girls in photo all wearing clubbing outfits.
3. A Cuban sandwich must be included and setting on the hood.
4. The tires CAN NOT have any tire shine on them.

Let's get to it.

Pics on the way. Sorry just a lot of stuff going on here. It's still just a standard Rubicon but will get pics out soon.
Are you saying that you literally own it, and it’s in your driveway, and you don’t have a photo? Hmmmmm! Sounds sketchy 🤣

@acruz44 ... I was looking at a couple of Rubi X's at Miami Lakes and yes, you end up there in the additional and unwanted add-on fees. That is why I bought my last 3 vehicles at Arrigo in Tamarac. They are better, but you still have to go into the dealership wearing a Kevlar jockstrap.

In this case, I was looking at Rubi's online as far away as Tampa, Lakeland and Orlando. But by chance, I checked out the Arrigo location in Margate which I found out is no longer Arrigo but someone else (now just called Margate CDJR). Anyway, they had one Rubi left on the website and it was basically loaded with everything compared to an X except the power leather seats (claiming a discount of 25k from 66k to 41k). They were really screwed up in their transition tbetween ownership.

Anyway, to your question, to get the best deal i have learned to work from the bottom up, not the top down. This means negotiating an out the door price. Come up with a number that is reasonable in your mind, usually the advertised price, the add any options you might want, something for the tags and their document stuff and dealer fees or anything else that is reasonable in your mind. I added $1,000 in total for all of that stuff. Calculate the sales tax on the total and you have a good starting out the door price. When they keep saying you don't qualify for the rebates and they have to add this or that and show it on the offer sheet, agree with them and tell them to just take it off the selling price at the top. But focus on the out the door price, that's what you are paying. Be prepared to walk, as I went to the door about three times and told them I would be back. That's when their number gets closer and closer to what you wish to offer. Anything above that is an additional amount that you are willing to pay in order to get the vehicle (I think I ended up about $500 above my initial amount I calculated which was OK in my mind since I was still getting an out the door price well over 20k below MSRP.

One last comment: Don't get hung up in the rebate details (Military, First Responder, Sous Chef, Ballerina or whatever is being offered at that time). Start with the advertised price, add what is required and use that as your baseline. Remember, especially at month end, you are in a better position and they don't want to see you walk.
