Hi everyone! I'm 100% new to potentially ordering/buying a new car. I've always purchased used, mostly from private party sales. Love my XJs and WJs....but it's time to get the best of both worlds, so I'll be replacing my F150 and XJ....for one saweeet gladiator. My questions are, i was told a color that is available on the JL already, may not be available for the JT until next year...(sting gray). Is this true? Is there a way to find out when the color is available to order? And my other question is i keep seeing people discuss pricing at or below invoice. I understand invoice is below msrp....which is what i see when i "build my own" on the jeep site....and what is shown on the window sticker....so how does someone find out what invoice is before going to the dealer to negotiate? Thanks kn advance and sorry for my novice questions, wasn't sure where else to ask.

Sting gray is a late availability color, no ETA. you can ask your dealer what invoice is or you can lookup some of the threads on it.

Do your homework. Search the forum and the JL forum for the best dealer near or far from you to place your order.

If you spend the time you’ll pay below invoice. Also, get your Tread Lightly membership lined up. Dealers get backend money for that which lowers your purchase price.

I have been reading up on the tread lightly discount and some of the out of state dealers giving up to a total of 7% i just wasnt sure how to find out what invoice is. Thanks for the quick replies. As much as i want to go order right now, i want that gray color so it looks like im stuck waiting! Haha.

Use the Xcel worksheet on page one of this thread, its not hard, read the directions and once you figure it out its awesome. Works really well.

I didn’t build it. Credit to the OP, forgot who it was at the moment.
