WTB: Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8

[pshek]

I was looking to purchase a Jeep SRT-8 tonight, and happened to go to Donavee Jeep in Placentia, CA. I was looking at a new '07 Steel Blue Metallic SRT8 with Group 1 package. Long story short after an hour of discussion, the general sales manager Al basically changed the agreed upon price from $40,000 out the door to $47,000 at the last minute. Classic bait and switch tactics. That's why I hate car salesman and their poor business manners. They would not even consider discounting after all the trouble of going through the motions of making a deal, and only pretended to be willing to sell their car at a reasonable price. Instead, they raised the price back up by $7000 to their dealer asking price and didn't consider to take into account that their '07 SRT8 had been sitting on their lot since June of 2007 depreciating in value. I also hated the fact that I could not speak to the GM directly, and instead had to relay messages through his assisstant.:what:

BTW, Josh @ HOP knows alot about the SRT-8 vehicles; I had to ask earlier for advice about the Jeep SRT8.

Sorry about the ranting. I just wanted to vent my anger.:sad:

i was quoted $50k for a brillant black in antioch, got there and they said they "misquoted" the price and offered it at $55k...

i was planning on haggling, but ended up just laughing.

i went for a drive though in the new red one they had on a demo, can anyone tell me the ride gets better than that? holy jesus, the thing had the bounce of an H2.

It is a bit bouncy, especially on certain pavement. It's the runflats.

...call Don at Champion!

I also hate dealers, I am honest and legit up front, and tell them, look
make your money on the older rich people that could care less, give
me a good deal and move this unit today. I'm not here to B.S.

I do my research, and give them a hard time up front about the deal I want.

I always have a similiar vehicle lined up at a dealership down the road.

When we bought my mother-in-law's anniv SS in 02, the dealer wanted to
haggle and wanted $36k for the car, I called the other dealer from their
showroom, and made the rough deal on the phone...saved $3900 and
drove another 23 miles down the road...see ya.

Thanks guys for sharing your wisdom and car buying experiences. Those guys at Don A Vee had the nerve to call me this morning. I basically told them I didn't like them after the hassle I went through and I wasn't going to buy from them. The stupid sales manager asked me "IF" I would buy the car for $40,000 and I had acquiesed to such a price; afterwards he raised it back up. Why would a person make an offer when they have no intention of honoring it?

Don A Vee sucks!:supergay:

 

[m3_il]
