- I am currently beginning to look into a new car. Currently i'm leaning
- towards a Sport Utility. At this point I am trying to stay with an American
- brand, but if I get a good reason I might look at an import. I've looked
- at Jeep Wrangler's and found them to be too small and too crude for me
- no matter how much the open feel appeals to me for the summer. I also
- took a ride in a base Cherokee with the 6 cylinder in it and I like it
- a lot. This truck is at the top of my price range considering my
- trade in and recent grad rebates etc. The salesdroid quoted payments
- in the area of $269 @ 9.9% for 5 years with $2500 down. This is acceptable
- but still more then i'd like. He basically wants sticker and isn't offering
- much for my car (which I can kinda understand since its 5.5 YO and has
- 128K mi.).
- My questions are centeres around whether I might get a better deal on
- a base S10 or Jimmy with a 6 in it. Will the Jimmy move as well as that
- Cherokee did. I was impressed at the power in that truck. Does a
- Jeep rate sticker price, or where should I start to wheel and deal?
- I was thinking to begin with that i'd like to offer something like
- 13 to 13.5 taking into account the rebates and all already, but I need
- to know if i'm leaving them anything. I could also use some advice as
- to common refernces for pricing on these types of vehicles.
- I'm kinda set on the Cherokee or S10. I'm getting married this year,
- and my fience has a 4.5 year old, and we'll probably be looking at
- another kid within the lifetime of the car. This means that i'll need
- enough room to haul 2 kids and 2 adults. This kinda eliminates the
- Dodge Dakota V8 I wanted to look at. This also kinda slipped into my
- price range.
- Well, take your best shot and let me have some advice. I honestly
- don't get to read rec.autos as much as i'd like so e-mail would be better,
- but i'll keep my eye out either way.
-
- Thanks in advance...
-
- later,
- AJ
