Yea, CA is a weird Jeep bubble. Regions can set their own incentives, and I suspect that's what makes CA different.

It wasn't easy getting $10k off our Jeep...most :dillerman: wouldn't go below base incentives...which with employee was $6-7k tops.
im 50/50 on going in and playing the :dillerman: games. I really dont want another car, honestly. But I could see replacing the truk. But its a beater and paid for... :iono:
If you're going to get a deal on leftover 18's, the next few weeks will be the time. End of the quarter, 20's are hitting lots en masse, I suspect :dillerman: will be more motivated than ever to move them.

However, I don't see how a JL would be able to replace a :truk: in utility.

a few 2018s still lingereing. This local :dillerman: has 2 poverty specs with turbro4 at $29k. They only taking $5k off and 1-2k jeep cash.

you live in a weird jeep bubble. I also expect these to start taking value hits.

I mean the one posted was a low option model with 7500 on the hood. Which is still a significant chunk.

That's unclear. That $5k off probably includes the available discounts...one of which the $1k for automobility only applies to disabled people upfitting the vehcile with hand controls or whatever they need.

Yep. The only way to know the real deal is to go in and hash it out.

Not sure about in the back of the Jeep.

I know that, this week alone, I've moved around 2200lbs of pavers (about 400 of them) that I wouldn't have been able to do without the Colorado. It's a love/hate relationship with my truck. I love having it because it makes our projects around the house very simple to do. I hate it though, because my wife's friends always ask for my help with shit because I'm the only one in the group with a truck....

I love driving it, makes a perfect DD for me honestly. Space isn't really an issue either. I just get tired of being the only one in our group with a vehicle that can actually handle hauling stuff outside of just a couple of medium sized boxes. I think we've hauled more shit for friends/family than we have for ourselves, and I've hauled about 6 tons of rock/stone/mulch this summer alone.

Because it's a PITA. Waste time driving to UHaul, then they give you shit about your tow vehicle not being able to tow blah blah (every fucking time I go there this happens), then an hour and a half later if you're lucky, you drive away with a utility trailer, but you only have it for a certain period of time, so you have to rush to the landscape or whatever place, get your shit, then dump it at home and spend 30 minutes cleaning the trailer (or they charge you) and rush back to the UHaul place to return before they close.

Vs.

Drive to place with truck. Get shit. Drive home. Unload. Clean at your leisure.

There are now 8 2020 models there as well :thisisfine:
~52 2019 models which is quite down vs prior... they had over 100 before :impressive:
Have there ever been 3 model years of the same vehicle on the lot before ? That seems completely unprecedented to me. :wtf:
End of 2019 will be quite interesting


Also it is quite interesting to see if the Wrongler will remain the most popular model in the lineup.... Too bad FCA ended the monthly reporting... :waiting:
Viper. There was a point you could see 4 years of cars that were "new" at the showroom on Stevens Creek.

I just saw my first Gladiator in the wild...... Was trying to get a pic but the other drivers were :derp:

It was black and had a purple diamond plate in the body section between the windshield and hood...I also thing there were subtle purple accents on the side mirrors. The basic design is eye catching and it looks very retro to these eyes......

I just said it's broken, so now people just say "I didn't ask you since I figured your truck is broken again"

I just say "Sure is!"

My buddy Maxx let’s me borrow his :truk: any time which is handy... but it’s a Ranger he got for $1200. If I owned something like that I’d be happy to toss the keys to friends/family.

Problem is, they ask my wife, not me, and she will tell them we're available, or at least I am, to help with shit. After this last time though, I told her that we're not available to help anyone moving forward.
