It's money that the dealer gets from the manufacturer in order to offset the
dealers financing costs (interest) on the vehicle. Usually somewhere around
2-3%.

i just couldnt take to it....just couldnt stomach the grey. my dealer told
me that if i bought stock that he would pay to have the top/fenders
rhino-lined black but that wouldnt work to well on the soft top. :-)

i dunno. i tried to order my rubicon with the 4 speaker system but the 7
speaker/sub-woofer is now standard on the rubicon. ill probably pull it
out, i got that on my last rubicon and it took up to much room. i couldnt
even fit my 1911 in the center console. on my '00 sahara with the standard
console i think i coulda put my ar15 in it. :-)

AR15s should be swivel mounted on the roll bar.

HHmm I got my 2004 Columbia Edition Wrangler, sticker $22850, in a
dealer swap for $18000 and 0% interest.
I don't think they lost the hold back.
