Looking to get out of the expensive muscle car business til I can afford it heh. Anyways I'm looking at both years as cant seem to find a locally advertised deal on a 2012. I'm wondering what would be a good reasonable offer for a 12? Is it even worth getting one now or get a 13 model for 1-2% below invoice?

Hate to tell you, but leaving muscle cars and going to a Jeep Wrangler, you're still gonna be eatin Beenie Weenies for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

 

[bill9274]

they are the exact same price. the chore is finding the one you want and your dealer being able to get it. ive been working with my dealer for 3 weeks still no luck.

There are not that many 12s left and I think the depreciation after you drive off the lot at this point is not worth it anyways.....around here you'd be damn lucky to get a Jeep for invoice

 

[StevoSupremo]

Well it's not so much about the cost of gas or maintenance. It's mostly about the deprecation. I'd like to have a fun vehicle that'll have some trade value if I want to upgrade later. I have a Camaro that's value took a nose dive. So I'm trying to get rid of it and have a practical vehicle in the country

I can get 13's at invoice no problem. Just no clue if I should even make an offer on a 12

No...... it'll be WORSE!!!!! :rofl::rofl:

My last 3
09 SRT8 Challenger
08 SRT8 Challenger
07 Shelby GT/SC

I've still spent MORE on my JKU

 

[StevoSupremo]

How so? What do I take into account?

I got a 3k on the dash Camaro 2SS vert. Went from a 45k price tag to 30k trade in

 

[Kelsey73]

Mod money.... I've dump more cash than I'm proud to admit on mine (JKU). The cars were mostly stock.

My last challenger was 33K trade and I think I paid 43K 2 years before and 24k miles later.

 

[Strokerswild]

Both!

I wish I had enough room in my shop (too many bikes) to park the Jeep next to my GT500.....

It depends on the options you want too. A lot of options went up on the 13'. So if you wanted a loaded Sahara or Rubi then factor in about $1500 difference in invoice and then the extra % you can get off of the 12' rather then the 13'. Maybe end up $2500 difference but also consider if jeep is offering special financing on the 12'

 

[StevoSupremo]

Is it too early to ask for 2% under invoice and an additional 1% for a Jeep that's been on the lot for at least 2 months?

Don't remind me! My price went up several hundred bucks just for waiting past 10/1.

And I priced my exact same vehicle under the first set of 2012 pricing rates...and my Jeep is $2000 more expensive than it was a year ago!

Between the base price increase, the destination charge increase, the increase for the top, the gears, connectivity, leather, and remote start...Chrysler really bent me over....

Not at all...
I emaield several dealers in early August and asked for the best price. I told them I had an affiliate membership, and only dealt with the ones that starteted at below 3% invoice.

Make sure you have an affiliate membership (Tread Ligthly or something).

Remember holdback is 3% below invoice....so -3% is dealer net cost. But if you use an affiliate discount, the dealer is rebated 2% of invoice. That does not even get into monthly unit incentives.

How much should I offer for a 12 altitude already advertised at invoice? Would it be worth it? also I already subscribed to tread lightly.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Are you a USAA member? Awesome car buying service, which I bent to my Jeep purchase with really good results.

 

[StevoSupremo]

Not a USAA member. I won't qualify for any other discounts

Sorry to bump this thread up... But I'm facing the same issue right now after testing a 2k13 this past Saturday. Started to search my local dealers inventories online and found a 2k12 with what I want.

Do you think it's worth trying to deal to help them make it leave their lot?

 

[Strokerswild]

Do you think it's worth trying to deal to help them make it leave their lot?

Possibly.

Some mention the depreciation factor on the "old" 2012; happens on the new also, plus you can negotiate more on the '12. The other side of the coin is that getting a 2012 versus an equivalent 2013 now means that you end up with a lower-mile 2012 model after X years, which means that trade-in value then might be closer than you think.

Interesting way of seeing the whole thing. Thanks Strokerswild
