How are you guys getting these deals. I went to about 3 Jeep dealership in the NYC trying to purchased a used 2011 v6 x package around 30,000 miles. They want around 29-30k not including Tax title registration.

Can someone help me out with some information. I became a little frustrated with those price, when I'm hearing what some of you guys are buy a brand new one for.

The biggest key here is people are buying new and you are trying to buy a used vehicle. There is no way you will score as good a deal on ANY used vehicle from a dealer as anyone would with a new vehicle. One of the things to keep in mind which is going to help anyone buying new, whether it is a MY14 MY13 or anything else. When you go in the end of the week, month, year, fiscal year, model year.... dealerships are going to do almost anything to get a car off the lot to make room for more inventory. Another thing to consider, most people who are going to be getting good deals on new cars are doing this on volume dealers, those who have over 500 cars on the lot. Another thing too is people are looking at vehicles with a LOT of options vs minimal optioned vehicles, there is more room to discount those vs base models.

For the record, I just scored a 13 Overland MSRP 49375 Invoice 46XXX for 42400. Add in our trade and take another 10k off price. We went to 3 dealerships and before going we did a lot of internet research before narrowing it down to 3. All 3 were considered volume dealers and I have previously purchased 2 vehicles in the past 12 months from one of them myself using similar as described above. We were going to get a MY13 Limited but for the same money we managed to get this MY13 Overland.

Which, I am in Harford County? I've seen some deals that seem 'to good to be true' on remaining '13s and even '14s within 30-miles of Baltimore. (Feel free to PM if your not comfortable disclosing).

I've been going back and forth on a remaining '13 Summit or a '14 Overland. I want to purchase by this summer (my current factory warranty expires in Aug) so I may play the waiting game and see if I stumble on a deal.

While the '14s are certainly advanced I cannot get the Saddle interior which I really like. So, will I be disappointed to not have the newest model and miss out on the painted rockers/wheel wells, 8-spd auto, larger Nav, LEDs, etc.? Perhaps, but I guess I'll know for sure if/when its time to sign

Give the Volume dealers a Look. Some of them would be Darcars in SIlver spring (stock real limited on 2013 models) Criswell in Gaithersburg (several Overlands Avg saving 10k off MSRP minimum.... ) Ourisman have several in Clarksville but not a good dealer imo... Tate... does not matter... Heritage, I have heard salespeople from 3 different dealerships say to stay away from them. Further out Safford seems to be the largest dealer in Va... and they are in a war with Farriah.... so pitting them against each other might get you a better deal... Up in Harford County, Jones Junction.... good service plan, but limited selection of 2013 models left.

When we bought our vehicle we also had a trade which we felt was in fair to good condition. Before haggling anything they gave us over 3k more for our trade than we anticipated getting. Not saying you will get the same mileage, but it may be worth a shot if your looking for a good deal.

We got ours at Criswell. My wife is tickled totally as we got 3k more for her trade than what we figured it was worth.

I have heard decent things about Thompsons in Edgewood.... Family has purchased rides there over the years.

The thing which is going to be more and more difficult is the amount of 13's remaining on the lots. I think overall we are at the cusp of where there is still a decent selection and they are still trying to make room for the 14's so are more willing to negotiate vs a month or two from now.

If Heritage has what you want, I would take a look at them, although I would be very wary... it does not hurt to see if perhaps a deal might be had for what you want specifically.
