    One NEVER pays anything close to MSRP on a FCA product. I'm sure that you can get between 5-15K off the bat. Truecar is a good indicator of where to start negotiations

    'bird, stupid VW is offering 0.9% for 60 on the GTI. :mad:

    I'd have to park it on the road, dig it out when it snows, insure it, pay PPT on it. . . blah blah blah.

    Agreed, but money is barely 570s , hell, I only know one person with P1 money and he doesn't give a damn about cars.

    Do you know if they will be bringing the 540 to the US?

    I believe so, $165k which is interesting because I think that will drive the slightly used 570s into my budget.

    @XFBO i stopped by the RAM dealership (not end of the year, granted) and asked what they'd offer me.

    since they had no ED on the lot, we could only look at factory builds and they said they'd prolly be able to knock 7-10k off, depending on trim.

    i'd have ended up at around 45k, but that was still 13 k above the '15 with 11k miles. i suggest you talk to them mid-december. they should be pretty motivated then. but i assume you figured that already anyways.

    Thank you sir! I may very well take that advice, like I may have already mentioned...I REALLY should wait til after our big move for this purchase anyhow....but damn would it come in handy for the move too! :D

    I made the mistake of following BB's advice and went on that damned TrueCar site, now my freaking phone is ringing off the hook! :mad: :D

    I found a new, still with the shipping stickers and plastic on the interior 2017 Autobahn for almost $7000 off. :mad:

    I'm poor!!!! and it's the wrong color, I want a white one.

    So is the 2017 new in any way? If I looked at used models, which ones would be similar to the new one?

    Tiny things that I didn't care about but you do want a mark 7. They are showing the 2018 mark 7.5.
     
  17. Bought a brand new Jeep a couple years ago, brought it home, straight on jack stands for lift, control arms, gearing, etc. had 280 miles on it when I arrived at Uwharie National Forest it it was climbing up rocks.

    That was the biggest mistake I made. The price on there was no where near accurate and I was being called constantly.

    The one at Hudson Bros? I want that so badly, but cant seem to pull the trigger on it. If it were white, I wouldve already picked it up!

    I'm seeing conflicting information about model years. 2013 or 2015 and newer?
