Daly City - 6% (Initially agreed to 5%, then I haggled them to 6%)
Tracy (Price match) - 6% (They wouldn't be haggled to that price, they would only agree to price match my best price on paper)
Gilroy (Price match) - 5% (Apparently the leader in Northern California on volume - They offered a good price right off the bat)
Yuba - 5%
Manteca - 2%
San Jose - 3%
Concord - 2.50% (They offered me 5% initially, then backed out of it)
Antioch - Negative on 5%
Healdsburg - Negative on 5%
Lakeport - Negative on 5%
Sacramento - Negative on 5%
Turlock - Negative on 5%
Walnut Creek - Negative on 5%

San Leandro - 4% OVER MSRP (LOL)

Considering how "skilled" FCA is at pumping out countless vehicles the JL has been painstakingly slow to roll out... as in Tesla Model 3 slow... They have been "making it" for over a month...

Old model is appealing because of price.
New model is appealing because of everything else.
The issue becomes that it is very difficult to make an apples to apples comparison of old and new since the new one has SO MANY extra features that are available, it inflates the price. So "sticker" shock sets in... however said features are really nice to have.

I want a loaded JLU Rubicock. But I don't want to pay 55k after tax.... then again that's just how much shit costs if you want it to be nice. I can also get a stripped model for $39k after tax...

:wat:

Tesla just over-promised and completely underestimated what it takes to produce vehicles at scale.

FCA knows what it's doing, and the JL is a massive redesign for a volume model. Most OEM's build a new model for months in conjunction with the old to get the bugs worked out of the new one. The fact that the JL was introduced in November and has already started sales is actually quite :impressive:

This makes the :dillerman: I found out on Long Island with a ton of WJ's for under $4k sound like the best idea. $3-4k for a V8 and under 100k miles.

The headliner is actually a fairly rare option sometimes a random one gets it or a fully loaded hardcock. You can get one aftermarket ones for less than the option costs

And as I mentioned before 40-42k sports are “normal” now. They were 35-37. That’s the JL up charge
