Re: Thinking about a Rubicon
Go to 2 dealers.
Find a Rubicon at the first dealer that you like.
Go to the 2nd dealer that has a Rubicon that you like.
Tell dealer 2 that dealer 1 said they would show you and sell you any
vehicle on the lot at invoice, minus any factory rebates.
I bought my Rubicon for $24,100 after rebates and negotiated in a new hard
top for $1,000 from the parts department.
White, Soft Top, Auto, etc etc.
