So I started researching the JT prior to purchase. He's how it went:
- Did the USAA truecar. This was a starting point to get some contacts.
- TrueCar out the door (OTD) would have been approximately $49K at Southern Jeep (Greenbrier location)
- I check the Jeep Forum and found 2 fellow forum buddies purchase from Safford Jeep in Warrenton and got great deals
- Tony Trapal and Kenny McCarty at Safford were great to work with
- Ultimately they offered me an overland OTD for $43K--which was about the range i was looking for (13% off MSRP, 6-7% off invoice). They sent me an offer letter
- I took the offer letter to Southern Jeep (Norfolk location).
- This location tried to offer me the Overland for $51K OTD. I then showed them my TrueCar price and later I showed them the Safford offer. They immediately knew I've been doing my homework. The salesperson literally said "this aint your first rodeo...ok let me see what we can do"
- they matched the Safford price...but as a courtesy to Tony/Kenny I wanted to see if they could offer a better deal. They couldn't...but Southern Jeep didn't have to know that.
- Southern then countered again and offer me cash back in the form of cashier check to get me OTD at $41K
- the cash back was for me to purchase my own tonneau cover and line-x
- It felt a bit shady at Southern Greenbrier because they didn't want to put the final offer in writing, but the salesperson sent me confirmation via text message so I at least had it in that form of writing.
