Yea, he went full-blast :unicorn: spec. I think it'll be pretty cool.

They said it should be here within a month, but could be as fast as 2 weeks. We're literally a 1.5 hour drive from the plant, so there's no reason it should take long for us.

Nobody would :dill: below my employee price, we tried. I tried offering multiple vehicle deals, etc and they were all "employee is the best we'll do on a special order. So 7% under invoice.

2.0T is auto only...it's a pretty solid "value" because of that.
What does that mean in terms of msrp to final sales price ? That whole invoice thing confuses the shit out of me because it’s some fictitious number.
I honestly didn't ask him, I have no idea. It's usually ~$4-5k under MSRP depending on the build.

So I think his MSRP must be around ~36k invoice is around 34,300 7% under is ~31,8k. So around 5kish off, which is :notbad: It will be above 20k for the next decade. So can't really go :wrong: here.

I think trying to get her one in a year or two is the better call.

Mine would kind of like a new car but likes the payment fee life more. She doesn't drive it all that much now though, since we moved her commute is 5 miles a day tops and now that I have the BMW, we normally take that on trips and such.

Yep, that's probably about it. No losing. He's selling all his cars for this, so I suspect it's staying a while.

No! He's actually selling it back to the dude he bought it from!

Apparently he "regretted the sale immediately" and has wanted another one. Dad bought it for $62k with 19k miles 3 years ago...selling it back to the dude for $57k with 32k miles. $5k to enjoy that car for 12k miles and 3 years seems really fair. He probably wouldn't get much over $60k for it anyway, and this is 100% hassle free.

While "poverty" it is going to have near 0 depreciation for the next few years... you can't get a JK under 20k with the 3.6. This is a JL... for under 30... :mindblown:

So apparently there is a TSB for wandering Jeeps... The one I drove certainly did this... I assumed it was the wind... maybe it was something else...

Can anyone chime in?
