Arkansas Jeep Car Dealers

Hubby has been issued a claim number so we can buy/lease a 2011 Grand Cherokee, preferably an Overland at affiliate price. I've driven the 4WD w/V8, but not the RWD or V6. I want Red, which is in short supply. Actually, Overlands in general are in short supply in my area (Little Rock/Conway, AR). Does anyone know what the affiliate pricing runs, ie 1/2% under invoice, or what? I found a Limited that has what I want on it at a dealership in Texas with a sticker price of $41,065 (RWD, V8, luxury pkg, media/nav).... before I go traveling to Texas, can anyone give me a ball park of what the affiliate price would be? I should also be able to apply my loyalty cash of $1000 as well, shouldn't I? If this an inappropriate question for this (or any of the) forum(s), I apologize. I am just asking for help since I need to pull the trigger on a new vehicle quickly and am trying to choose between the Jeep, a Murano, a Lincoln MDX or something GM. Can't get an Inifiniti FX cheap enough and maybe not the Jeep or Lincoln either. Want to buy, under $600/mo for 72 mos, no money down. The leased Jeep I am turning in is worth more than I owe; probably will sell to Carmax and get a few hundred in cash. Tax here in AR is a whopping 8.25% and registration/title is about 6 or $700. I drove an FX a few years ago.... loved it, but unless they heavily discount (like 10 grand), it's too much. Don't love the Murano, but could probably swing it financially. Not sure how much they are discounting the Lincoln MDX, but again, it would have to be a lot for me to get into one. Not thrilled with anything GM. Opinions and info.... please!! If this is not the right place to post, please let me know. Thanks.

It's also been announced that Jeep is addressing the perceived low-rent interior of the Patriot in 2009 with a revamped interior. I don't know how much better it will be, but you could use that info as a bargaining chip on a 2008. You can also get some good deals on remaining 2007 models, but choices are limited (and often Limiteds!), and there's the whole stigma of buying a first-year vehicle. I bought an '08 2WD Sport CVT in late November 2007, and so far I'm happy (but then again, I was looking for a fuel-efficient, versatile vehicle to go with my wife's sedan, and not a rock crawler). I'm a little annoyed at the interior upgrade announcement, but will have to wait and see how substantial a change it brings.

You are getting killed here. I am not certain what the H Package is, but your dealer is taking you for a ride. I am in the NYC Metro ares, and dealers here need to move a certain amount of cars by 1-1-07. So they are crushing numbers to get lease deals signed. My car was not even on the lot they sent someone to get it and I will have it on Tuesday. I believe that the MSRP on the car is close to $44K. Try having your lease based upon 27 months, you might get some relief there. Other then that, tell the guy my deal and that you will sign today if he matches. I am not sure of the factors as I just wanted to get to a number and I deal with the sales manager at my dealer since I am a return customer. Good luck

Looking for a 05 GC for my daughter. The model we are looking at is a pretty basic 2WD since she is a new driver and I was really expecting to start her out in a used vehicle but..... Current incentives are $2,000 and I figure the worst deal should $2,000 under invoice but should I expect a better deal? I've dealt with several dealers on an '05 Liberty and that is as far as I have gotten them, invoice minus rebates. Should I expect to do better on a '05 Grand Cherokee? Thanks
