Dealer doc fee is CT range from 245 to 499 for new car dealers. It is a NON negotiable number, the dealer must charge their published amount to every vehicle that leaves the floor. There is also no Cap to the amount, so a dealer could charge 10K if they so choose. Some used car dealers don't charge anything. The number must be displayed for all to see. When the State does an audit, they can and do check through paperwork to make sure the fee is there. That's why its preprinted on the sales order.

Along the same lines, there is a 200 fee in CT for Vin etching. The dealer is required to VIN etch the car, but you are not required to buy the insurance that the 200 gets. Therefore you do not need to pay the fee.

In Wisconsin I'll bet you did get a better deal in your surrounding area,I wish I could drive all the way up there to enjoy those benefits also. Its interesting to see the variances in pricing here in Illinois but you're right,contacting various dealers via email is a good idea but the problem is watching out for when the dealers try to beat you up on the trade in..possible great deal on the new car but they try to make it up on the trade..lotta hassles there.
 
#5,936 ·
I whole heartedly agree. We went with a local small dealer who was easy to work with. They were also very honest and upfront that they had no idea how to value the trade (07 limited 3.0L CRD) because they were only available in 07 in CT and very few were ever shipped here. Picking up our new 14 overland 3.6 Monday. Intentionally avoided the diesel this time around.
 
#5,938 ·
I took delivery last night of my overland... The doc fee was $80. Didn't notice til I got home that the back door on the driver's side wasn't flush. Other than that it's phenomenal. I also leased, because it makes so much more sense with the low residual and super low money factor. I'll decide in 3 years if I want to purchase and unless interest rates totally skyrocket in 3 years I'll be in great shape.
 
#5,941 ·
Temerarius, in states where new vehicle sales tax is reduced by trade-in value, that also has to enter into the decision equation, but yea...private sale can be a pain in the you-know-what. I tried to sell my previous vehicle, but couldn't move it fast enough...and needed the money to take delivery of my Summit. There were some pretty strange folks that came out of the woodwork, too, while I was working to sell! Oy!
 
#5,950 · (Edited)
When I bought my VW Jetta Diesel I traded in a VW Beetle Diesel. Carmax gave me a better price for the Beetle than the VW dealer. The price was so much better it made up for the difference in Sales Tax. I'm not going to even worry about the dealer this time, I see no VW's on their lot at all to sell. Carmax sells a lot of Jetta Sportwagen Diesels. If I could tow it all four down(RV Dinghy), I wouldn't be selling it. I expect to sell my Car for $14K that accounts for $840 of tax here in FL. In this hypothetical case the dealer would have to be above $13,160.

Get a quote from your local Carmax if you have one and do your tax calculations before you go into your dealer to negotiate your price. Make them stick to their "3% below Invoice" after you tell them the trade-in is being sold elsewhere.

Hell finally froze over.

Must be about time for CRD order banks to open up (because as we all know, the CRD banks open up AFTER hell has frozen over)

Hey Sno, what's your number at work?.. We'll all call for you and tell them it's an emergency, and you need to leave! :lol:

it IS an Emergency that needs his immediate attention isn't it??? :D

QUICK QUESTION
on a 14 panoramic sunroof do both elements slide back or only the one above the front seats? I had a 2011 rental for which the whole roof opened but not on my 2014. is there any trick to it; is mine defective; or is my memory failing me about the 2011 model year sunroof?
 
#5,959 ·
The advantage to trading in your car is the sales tax on your trade,you do get something off because of that. When selling privately like someone else mentioned you do have alot of people full of b. s. which I have no time for so just like i haggled for the front end of the deal on the new car I have the patience to do it on the trade and a number in my mind that I'm willing to accept to facilitate the deal. Sno I'm glad the trade deal worked for you as quickly as it did,maybe it's all that cool crisp air in Wisconsins gods country that made it happen for you but that's not the norm for the rest of us. Also I'm trying to order a car so I get a deal from a private buyer now I've got to rent a car for the next 60-90 days until my new vehicle arrives at the dealer. That cost may be the bridge as to why I'll do a trade at the dealer and just deal with trading it in and enjoying the tax savings on the trade in.

I have the Jeep and just playing around with it...Loving it so far and the wife loves the color..Had an SD card problem but I got that figured out...ALL IS GOOD!! Yes I did get some video and will take some more for you guys...I took a few pictures as well. We are going to go get dinner and then I will come back to post everything I got...I didn't forget about you guys!!
 
#5,967 ·
I took a long video for you guys when I got home this evening. 1 thing I forgot was how to get into the car, no need to hit the button on the door. Just put you hand on the handle and it unlocks, that is so freaking sweet.
 
#5,968 ·
It's all good now Sno! Forget about all of us for a while and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!! :D

I let the wife drive the jeep tonight on our way to dinner. She is in LOVE with it, so jealous. She said she felt like a rich b*tch in it, haha. We had quite a few people driving by us and turn their heads looking at the lights. Everything so far is working as it should.

As for the tailgate, It is aligned perfectly. The only thing I noticed is the right rear tail light is very close on the door and on the panel (picture included). But there really is no way this should be a problem.

I have the same exact issue on that side...gap is a bit bigger on left and tight but not rubbing on right. Haven't had a problem with it thus far but will keep an eye on it.

Hope you guys enjoyed dinner. Did you take it out of Eco?
