? on buying new TJ with employee pricing deal
It seems like a good deal. The price started out as below invoice.
Plus a $500 rebate, but I caught the dealer trying to add in a
destination charge twice. Plus he told me he has to add a few other
small things. All these little "fees". One was $250 another $50. I
forget what he called them, but I don't remember these fees the last
time I bought my jeep. It made a base Rubi come out at $2699 out the
door, tax and all. Is this a decent price?
The dealer wrote me up the quote and took the $500 rebate off after
computing tax instead of before. Is that the way it usually goes?
What about on a trade? Shouldn't the trade be taken off the price
before taxing too?

Make that price $26991
If it was $2699, I'd buy 'em all!

The trade in shouldn't be taxed. The $500 rebate should be deducted
before the tax also. Those fees are title and "documentation". When I
bought my '04 after we had agreed on a price they told me the document
fee was $300. I said I wasn't going to pay it. The sales manager said it
was programed into the computer so I had him take $200 more off the sale
price. The title fee is an estimate and will vary from state to state.
I actually got a check from the dealer for $42 for an overage on the
title fee.

Re: ? on buying new TJ with employee pricing deal
Even my daughter, who has never bought a new car, can figure out that
"employee pricing" isn't really employee pricing--unless you are an
employee. Go over the small fees with a fine toothed comb. The last time I
paid for a new vehicle, there was a $5.00 "promotion charge" or something,
that basically paid the dealer to send me junk mail every time he had a
sale.
