That's exactly how mine went down. Friend of mine test drove it weeks ago, was still there after 3 months and I got a smoking deal on it.
I would like my experience to go this way as well. Dealer has one on the lot that fits the spec I was looking for
Whats the dealership name and city location in Idaho please??As a point of reference...
I recently test drove a Gladiator at my local Jeep dealer. They were surprisingly pleasant and helpful. The rep actually knew a lot about the truck. I liked the Gladiator I drove, but they offered me $3,000 below MSRP which is more than I wanted to pay. They called me a week later. I was honest and told them I would rather order a truck from the Jeep dealer near Boise and get 6% below invoice. They called me back and said they could do 4% below invoice if I ordered and got a Tread Lightly code. That seemed reasonable to me and saves me a trip to Idaho. So, I'm scraping up as much as can for a down payment and will soon order my Gladiator.
Based on my experience and the typical experience of others, I think you're more likely to get a better deal by ordering a Gladiator rather than buying from current stock. I would suggest being honest with a dealer and asking what they can do for you in either case. If they're pugnacious about it, go to another dealer. Last I checked, we don't live in North Korea.
Peterson Jeep in Nampa, Idaho. There are threads all over the forum about it. You have to email the fleet sales rep.
Good to know! I would really like my local dealer to do 4% below invoice on the truck I test drove. I'll keep asking.
