Pure price increase. That is about a 4.6% jump in MSRP but below the 2022 annual inflation rate of 6.5%.
Yes, I got an early 2022. Ordered in Sept 2021, picked up in Jan 2022. The price increase from end of year 2021 to first 2022s about $2000, but was entirely added standard equipment. Once I optioned out the 2022 the way I had the 2021 optioned up there was essentially zero price difference.
As a dealer for 35 years some of that time managing a Jeep story the nedia has absolutely no clue how car dealers come up with a price. I have wateched the site and there youtube they are so far off its laughably funny. With that said if the dealer had it advertised for a lower price he should accept the lower price thats just good business. The prices are not falling they have slid a little but there still 40% higher then they should be!! Gladiators fly off the lots in my area they don't sut very long especially if its a diesel there a list of guys that want the diesels. Good luck in your search hope you find the perfect one at a price you can live withWill not confirm or deny.
I went through the usual drivers license drill which to my understanding can give them an idea of your credit worthiness. I do not have proof as to when the price went up but the day before I checked ans saw it was up to $43K figuring that being asking they would go back to the lowest listed price of 41.5. Did the price go up when they saw my report, that I do not know, but to see a 15% price jump is a bit much considering the current market conditions. Plus, none of the other Jeeps I am following went up. ?
I found a youtube channel "Your Advocate Alliance" and got a good education on the entire process as well as market conditions and trends. Just in my area alone there are are over 47 Glads for sale in a 10 mile radius. So plenty of choices to be had. After watching that channel and visiting their website they can calculate for you the "Out The Door" price for the car you choose if paying asking, the important thing there is the disclosure of taxes and related fees. According to them the good times are over and prices have to come down to a "new normal" but the 80% increase we saw in 2 years is going down by about 1.5% a month so they say, hence the desire of dealers to sell overpriced inventory that is going down in price at that rate ans is costing floor space $.
What I learnt from them is to get the FAIR market value for the car using a few websites, multiply the value by .97 and then add taxes, license, registration, and doc fee. That becomes your MAX limit for an "out the door" deal. Doing so prepares you mentally to what you are willing to do by giving you the data and limit for the deal.
I have plenty of time and no immediate urge to buy. I will see how the dust settles on this one.
I literally just bought a diesel today. Originally had no intention of spending $65k, but finding a 2023 in a bright color(ended up with firecracker red) with the right options is next to impossible. They all seem to be in either black, white or grey. After driving a diesel for a week, I was hooked and it being discontinued it was now or never on buying a new one...........
