Northern MI Cucklyfe: Floating Garage Edition

[ChrisoftheNorth]

It is EXACTLY how I'd order a Sport S if I was doing so...except the tow pack, which I can easily add myself for a few hundo (did it on my JK).

I'm keeping a close eye on s

So head down to your local CDJR dealer for a hot dog, plate of bbq chips, a soda, and a nice discussion on what monthly payment it would take to get you in that vehicle today! No reasonable offer refused.

Yea...it's just a matter of committing to blowing an entire day dealing with with the realistic expectation that I could walk away with nothing.

I'm looking for ~$10k off either 2018 Jeep (with my employee discount included), which seems realistic for essentially 2 year old trucks.

I'm curious to see what deals are announced in the coming weeks. 0% financing of some sort would be nice icing on the cake.

Any dealer can install heated seats for you for a few hundo. Lisa had heated seats installed for free on her tiguan by the dealership.

It's not the heated seats that got me into this mess, it's the fucking heated god damned mother fucking steering wheel. Those are nearly impossible to add after the fact.

I DGAF about that shit...so the good news is it would keep the wife from driving it. But I also don't know what other torpedos could come as a result. It's realistic that that truck could be had for will into the $30k range, a good deal for a Rubicon...but then if I decide to sell it, the lack of cold weather pack in MI might be seriously detrimental.

The heated wheel thing is hilarious to me btw. But I've never experienced one. So maybe its awesome and I just don't know.
Heated seats up here are absolutely sought after. You could use that as a bargaining chip though, no?

[dubshow]

I'd probably realistically get a 4-door so I can tow the glamper occasionally and have extra room for people/stuff.

This thing is perfect. I'm going to watch s closely. End of month/quarter/half is coming up along with 4th of July. If I could pick this up for low $30k, it's happening.

its a nice spec but how do you plan on $10k off msrp??

seems pricing

[ChrisoftheNorth]

But can you get a heated wheel on the JL?

Yep, comes with cold weather pack...heated seat and wheel. That Orange Sport S has it.

I think that's a reasonable number. Can always ask dealerbrah when 2020s will show up on the lot. And then say ok well I can come back then and we can talk about 12k off or we can continue the discussion now at 10k and you can unload a 2 year old vehicle that's been rotting

Heated steering wheel is Wife is irrational and this is one of the things she's chosen to be irrational about. Whatever.

Lack of these things would be great leverage tho, agreed.

Its 2 years old as soon as he takes it.

Exactly. They need to dig deep to make it worth it. Otherwise I'll buy a newer 19 or a brand new 20 model. I'll make that well known if I reach that point.

They don’t even offer financing ... 4.64% is their going rate ... these babies sell themselves ... oh wait ... it’s a 2018 ... in a 2020 model year

Yep, and there's plenty of "newer" 19's to chose from...and soon 20's.

You'd need a serious financial incentive to buy a "new" 18 at this point.

interesting play. Will follow to see how it pans out.

im just a sucker for the rubi upsell.

The volume of 18's still out there is

Most seem to be odd builds...like the Mojito Rubicon without cold weather.

That Orange Sport S tho...no idea why they still have that. It's perfect.

i hear yall. I just dont see it happening.

im hear with my and glad I got out of my JKU before the market on them tanked.

At this point, gotta take what you can get if looking for the mega

The only value I see in the Rubi is looks, lockers, and 4.10's. I don't want the aggro t-case, the sway bar disco is worthless to me, and the 33's would become 35's in short order.

I could make a Sport S do most of this without spending a ton of money if I wanted...but I think a Sport S with nothing more than Rubicon flares and 35's would be as capable as I'd need in Michigan.

JK's haven't tanked as much as you'd think. I've been looking, they're coming down, but not enough to where I'd seriously consider one over a JL mega

totally agree.

But they are also no longer $30k things.

my local car max is slinging 2014-6 2 door sport models for 26k I still have no idea who is dumb enough to make that or why carmax even exists outside of telling a few sleazebag dillers off, as any millennial snowflake should be able to, it’s no harder than getting that avocado toast redone because the egg wasn’t perfectly poached. And they are fully capable of doing that

love Carmax because the buying process is so simple/easy...and they're willing to pay for it.

[CaleDeRoo]

Man if I don't get my truck fixed your Volt might be a good replacement....

It's a great car. I don't really want to get rid of it, but I also don't want to drive it every day.

I'd sell it to a DFD member for trade-in value, probably $11-13k.

I'm actually genuinely interested. If I can get my truck fixed well enough to get $5-6k for it there's a serious possibility. I actually thought about offing the truck for a used Volt earlier this year.

[max225]

BTW just FYI the Sport has the smaller brakes, the Sahara+rubi have +1" brakes....

Let me know bro.

[troyguitar]

If we had anywhere to charge, I'd buy that thing tomorrow. You're nuts to sell it for so little.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

Yea...I don't know how much that bothers me. Glamper has brakes, so as long as I hook up a brake controller, it's probably NBD.

I also wonder how hard it is to change to the bigger brakes if I wanted. At some point, an upgrade to Rubicon axles would be awesome and address pretty much any deficiencies with the sport.
