There is a possibility of a bulk buy discount being offered to new MY14 buyers in Australia.
The proposal is that if you wish to participate in this bid, you need to express your interest and answer a few questions.
Please cut and past the questions and post with your details.
Please do not post full names and addresses, as these will be sought individually if a dealership bids for the business.

Re: Intereseted in a possible MY14 bulk purchase order (Australia only)

Thanks for doing that.

I do buying all day every day; I never start a negotiation without knowing where I am and where I want to be, we don’t know where we are yet.
And let’s be clear, this will not just an offer to Castle Hill. It is great that Paige has come on the forums, but the offer will be made to other dealers. The fleet buy we just concluded at work went to a dealer that has been chasing us for years because the dealer we have done the last two fleet buys through couldn’t match.
IF we do one then it will be done the same, effectively out for tender.
Please also understand, that due to the stuffed nature of supply, not all dealers will be able to meet the individual requirements that we may be chasing, so you need to be prepared to either wait a long time, or be slightly flexible in specs or colours.

Supplying the specific details will be difficult at this stage, because we don’t know what the specs really are.

Overland
ASAP
Sydney Inner West
Black interior
Flexible on Exterior
20' wheels
Tow hooks if possible

I've already got an order in with a deposit down, so I'm not 100% in, but mark me down as a possibility of extra business. Ie I will give the dealer I've put the deposit down with the chance to win my business, if they try rip me off then I will walk. My contract had subject to pricing so that is an option to walk and get my deposit back. As soon as we know pricing I will be negotiating with the dealer so I should know pretty soon after pricing is released whether I'm in or out.

Re: Intereseted in a possible MY14 bulk purchase order (Australia only)

Just for those thinking of ordering an in car GPS. The cost for what you get is expensive, maps often outdated, updates often late and also outdated. Much better option is a tablet/phone with a GPS APP.
I'm not a mod here and relatively new to these forums, so have no real place to say it.
But please keep all posts extremely relevant to the group by situation only, and post other talk relevant to purchasing in general in the other Aus forum.
This will thread will require accurate details and no banter so as not to muddy the waters.
Please keep it very streamlined.

Hi all, spoke to Paige and have suggested that she jump on to this thread, do we want to establish a list of dealers to send a list out to ?

Also what are your thoughts on the following:
A) different discounts would apply to different models depending on what you had optioned etc.
B) we may have to go on site to finalise negotiations.

Thoughts ??

Re: Intereseted in a possible MY14 bulk purchase order (Australia only)

I would suggest you send to as many dealers as possible.
I recommend, Castle Hill, Nepean, and Peter Warren in Sydney.
I also suggest you send them a listing of the proposed purchases, and get them to quote on each vehicle separately.
Mind you, this will only work if all go with the one dealer.

Re: Intereseted in a possible MY14 bulk purchase order (Australia only)

There is absolutely no pint in approaching any dealer at the moment, as we don't have 2014 pricing.
Unless there is a flat % discount to work from, as a dealer will know what their given margins, rebates etc.. are.
Similar to the 1-2% below invoice pricing that was / is occurring in the US.

Re: 2014 Grand Cherokee information - Australia
Paige mentioned that if a group order was to be made, in order for a discount to be effective, we would all need to present ourselves at the same time in Castle Hill.

I wouldn't be concerned about what Paige said. Any dealer, wanting the business, will deal. Whether the buyers are there or not makes no difference. The main thing is that they get the agreements tied down, and deposits in their hands. Sounds like Paige is not yet ready to grab the bull by the horns.

Re: Intereseted in a possible MY14 bulk purchase order (Australia only)

Another good answer to have from the dealer is how many orders do they need for a "group buy".

Re: Intereseted in a possible MY14 bulk purchase order (Australia only)



Seven including mine which I have not posted as I don't know what the real specs are.

Re: Intereseted in a possible MY14 bulk purchase order (Australia only)

Appears there were issues with the PM's I sent. Apparently the PM system will only allow 5 recipients in an email, so those on the tailend, missed out on that message.

Basically, what I have done is offered a Sydney dealer the chance to bid for the business. It's better not to publically announce who that bid went to, but those who placed their requirements have all been informed.

There were a couple of errors in the specifications sent to that dealer, but they will all be corrected before the end of today.

So far we have the following.

Thank for organising this. I will be very interested to see what the reply is like. Much will depend on whether individuals have a trade-in. No trade means more wiggle room for the dealer. Most of the time they have to use their margin to up the trade so not much left to lower the new car price.

We also may have to wait for stick. First wave of deliveries are in high demand and I can't see a large incentive for the dealer to discount.

But they have been slow for a while so who knows. Like I said -will be interesting reply.

Re: Intereseted in a possible MY14 bulk purchase order (Australia only)

Hi all
This is the current listing. Let me know if any details are incorrect.
Please do not send to any other dealer without letting everyone know first. I think it is best not to give details here of what dealers have been contacted, as it is best for each bid to be kept confidential until results have been received.

I will update each of those listed with information on which dealer has received a request for a Bid so far so as to avoid duplications.

I would also expect that all of bids would be free of any trade in, as that will only complicate pricing. I would suggest that trade in's are negotiated independently of the quote and that you consider a private sale rather than trade-in. You should also have your finance pre-arranged.

Importantly, please understand this is not my project, nor do I have a vested interest in it. All I have done is tried to organise, and send off an initial BID request to 1 dealer, who I think may be in a position to assist you guys. Anyone one of you can get involved, and approach dealers. All I suggest is you be discreet, do not supply names, and keep everyone on the below list informed of what you are doing.
