Washington Jeep Car Dealers

" Is that a good deal?" What more do you want? Good Grief!

Greetings! I've decided to purchase the Jeep Liberty CRD, Limited. Specifically the 22G package. While I've located one (en route to the dealership), I've not yet made any commitments because I am furiously doing my homework. I need a bit of help... I am a member of the Chyrsler Affiliates program - this is a new benefit for me which I've enver used before (my company was a recent acquisition by a larger company, so none of my coworkers have any experience either). According to my internal employee website, I should ask the dealer to see the actual invoice, as there will be a line item that specifically states "Affiliate Price - - - xxx.xx" to ensure I get the actual affiliate price. So, while shopping, I tell the sales staff exactly what I'm after, and what I want: Make/Model vehicle, to see that line item on teh invoice. It's getting tougher, as a woman, to shop for a vehicle. I would expect less of a "little lady" attitude these days. I'm frustrated since some dealers, after me asking about the affiliate price line on the invoice, have looked at the sky, and said things like: "Ohhhh figure about 1400.00 off the price on that window sticker, that'll be YOUR affiliate price..." (I looked at that sky... I didn't see any magical calculation... ;o( ) I had one fleet manager raise his eyebrows when I specifically stated I wanted the diesel... and he said "What do YOU need a diesel for, why do you want that????" When I spouted the towing capability, HP, torque, etc. he quickly backed down and said "OH, well, i have to see if we're members of this affiliates program..." When I explained to another dealership that I was shopping for a good dealership as well as an auto, the salesman grinned and said "Well, you get the best thing here, you get me as your salesman!" OMG... I'm wilting. This behavior is making me realize my internal website suggestion to look for that specific line item on teh DEALER paperwork was given to us for a very important reason . Now, when searching for factory invoice pricing online, I come across a passle of differing things, e.g. dealer invoice, etc. Does anyone "out there" have any experience with purchasing a vehicle using the affiliates program OR knowledge of what to expect on the REAL factory invoice price? The jeep I'm looking at is a Limited CRD, and has an MSRP of about 32k. All input will be greatly appreciated!!!!! Thanks, nina

I thought I'd post the deal I just made last night: EASTSIDE CHRYSLER JEEP, Bellvue WA. 05 GC Limited, Green/khaki, Hemi, Chrome wheels, Navi,backup sensor,tow package, side airbags and a few other things I really wasn't looking for but it had. Basically I paid invoice, received all the rebates including the $500 Heroes or something like that (EMT Certification). It was a really good deal considering that they filled the jeep up, gave me a free oil change and very good trade in on My Jetta Wagon. Very nice, busy dealership full of last minute Linda's & Larry's (like us of course!). I talked to the parts guy and he didn't think the IPOD connection kit would work with the stereo's in these new jeeps. I will still check with Monster & Audiovox and post on one of these forums if I ever figure this stuff out. Also I am about to go out right now and try and pair my Cingular Motrola V551 phone. X your fingers for me. :)

I bought my 03 Black Wrangler Sport in Jan 03'. It's equipped w/the 30"wheel pkg (gas shocks, Dana 44, Canyon wheels), limited slip, 4 wheel discs, Hardtop/softop, A/C, cruise, mats. I got it for 3.5% over invoice (Costco deal in my area). The Wrangler has been great except the gas mileage leaves a lot to be desired but understandable given its lack of aerodynamics. Currently getting almost 18mpg w/80% hwy. All city driving has been between 14 & 15 mpg. Gotten a high of 22mpg on all freeway at about 70mph constant. Anyhow, my dealer was eventually good but the salesperson tried the $4000 over sticker markup and such. This was even after I told him I used to sell cars (get a clue dude....LOL). I was ready to walk except they had my car keys. Finally finished the deal w/the salesmgr. The dealership is Chrysler Town & Country in Seattle, WA. It's a Jeep Thang, Stephen
