Stopped in for an oil change and tire rotation at my nearby Jeep dealership. It is a new dealership in a former other brand dealership building so am glad one opened about 1.5 years ago nearby me. Good for service.
Went over to look at the new cars while I was waiting. Spoke to a salesperson which I try to avoid. She was pretty much straight forward after giving me the initial "oh, do you lease or own...I bet you lease".....which I know I am younger and look young (but not THAT young anymore).....I have never leased and am a cash buyer. I told her I was just waiting for my oil change and this was my fifth Grand Cherokee and it is a Summit. She readily admitted that I probably know more about Jeep Grand Cherokees then she does because she has to keep track of all the models. She used to be a school teacher she said. Certainly not a higher trained VIP sales person ... oh well, the dealerships are still a work in progress. Better to have great vehicles first...but at some point the dealerships need to step up.
The one helpful thing she did was to take me back to her office to give me a card (like I cared) but then proceeded to staple it to a brochure. She said it was the VIP program.... didn't explain what that was. I was gonna toss it later but took a glance at it. Basically, it gives you a no hassle 1% below invoice price. Nice to know.
I know better prices can still be gotten, but thought I would pass along that at least this dealership is offering it (once they figure out you're not a newbie car buyer that can be rolled over).
