Re: New TJ REAL price?
Back in our college days, my brother was looking for a new pickup and
found a Toyota ad truck. He called and they said they still had it. He
asked them to make sure because he was driving an hour and a half round
trip. They said it's still here. So we made the drive. Of course, when
we got there, it had magically sold but did we want to see some others?
Pissed, we left. Just out of curiosity when we got home, I called the
SAME salesman and asked about the SAME ad truck and guess what?? It was
magically available again. Lesson learned, bait and switch.

If you don't care what the dealer makes and you have the money it all
depends on what you want to pay. You have the power and if you walk you
have even more power. Let them call you - and they will if you are
resonable and make them thow in all the extras when they agree to a price.

Not so, Grasshopper. I bought my Ford truck and salesman worked off their
actual cost. I simply let them know at the start that I knew they did not
pay the price on the invoice and that I didn't care what was on the invoice
statement they showed me.
It worked. I got mine for $1560 less than invoice and they still made
money. You just have be determined and courteous.
