We're working on purchasing a JK Sport with hard top and AC, pretty basic stuff. Invoice is $24,808. I've been working with a local dealership floor manager, so far no games outta him, gave me full disclosure on pricing and offered to sell at invoice. We didn't move on this yet for a variety of reasons however I'm glad we haven't.
Found what we wanted at a dealer a bit over 100 miles away (has 3 in stock), we're finally ready to pull the trigger and when I checked to make sure they still have them in stock found they are advertising these for $21,803 right about 12% below invoice.
I emailed the local guy, he's off today so I'll not hear back until tomorrow.
Thought I'd ask if anyone here knows of any manufacturer - dealer rebates or incentives going on, maybe that explains it? Could also be explained by dealer shenanigans ($1000 wax job, $1000 super armor fabric protectant, $500 nitrogen tire fill...that kinda B.S.).
Just trying to get as much information as I can about what this might be, if there's some manufacture - dealer incentive money involved I should expect my local guy to do a better deal than invoice.. If however the other dealership is playing games, well I'd rather not deal with that.
Thanks for any tips/advice on this situation.. If I'm not convinced the local guy is up and up, I'll have to start over with the dealership 100+miles away... not looking forward to vetting another sales person ;-)
