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.

Funny. I've noticed the local (Maryland) CarMax will make sure you know
if a car you're looking at has a nice aftermarket stereo... The first
Jeep I looked at did, although i ended up buying the newer one with less
add-ons, but all the important bits worked correctly...
