They're asking $11900. Do you think I could get them down to like $9000?

I was talking to a friend who sells used cars and has access to manheim auction data and these things are going for about $6-7K at auction, so i'm that is about what these guys have into the car. Plus they had just recently (about a week ago) reduced down to this $11900, I don't know what the previous price was.

So what do you guys think?

[JeepOrvis97]

uh, $11,900 sounds like an alright deal for an Overland with 60k miles. I wouldn't try to get it for $9000 because it just won't happen. Maybe $10,500 but probably not even that low, they have a set price and they won't come down that low most likely.

[Curt941]

But what's the harm in just trying you know? I too doubt they'll go for it, but what if they do? The way I look at it is I can go there, test drive it, tell them i'll give them $9K and they can either take it or leave it. I don't need the car right now, i've got one, but they do need to sell the car.

I can allways have my buddy find one at auction and just have him buy it for me, he'll charge a $500 markup fee for his time, and i'll still come out ahead of what these guys want.

It's a private dealer, not a big franchise, which I think might help with getting a cheaper price.

Well, they lowered the price again down to $10900. The ad didnt' have pictures of the interior so I sent them an email requesting some pictures. I have a feeling that if they've lowered the price by $2000 in 2 weeks, that they'd be willing to deal for $9000 or damn close to it.

With the way the market is if they really have to get it off their hands they will be willing to deal.

My dream Jeep.

Im waiting for prices to drop further. $9k would be a nice deal right now. Another month, another $2k Less!

[Slummin]

Mine too, I want an inferno red one though

$11,900 is right about where the market is on those now. Dropping $3k isn't going to happen with most sellers, people just don't overprice vehicles the want to sell by that much. $10,500 might do it or there is one on ebay right now under $8000.

Don't despair. Market is real soft on SUVs now.

I picked up my 03 Overland for $7,500 + tax. (no haggling internet price) from a local dealer.

73.5k miles - Beautiful condition, impeccably maintained. All options. New GY Fortera's. (+ blend doors fixed last Nov.)

see my page in sig for pics.

My 2000 with only 50500mi is only worth 3500 on a trade. soooo you should be able to talk them down.

Apples and oranges. The Overland comes with a ton of equipment and the 4.7 HO. There seems to be 3-5,000 difference in the same year Laredo vs Overland. There is also a pretty big price difference between 2000 and 2003 models. $7500 is a STEAL, I have only seen one that low and it was a little rough. Nice ones are still in the 10-14k range. Any time you trade you take a pounding. Dealers will give you 2-3k less than what they will try and sell it for and they will try and sell you one for 2-3k more than the private party values.

There is a 2004 Overland at a local dealer here. It has everything including the nav system, 43k miles, the dealer wants 19k

[ras2001wj]

19k? I saw one for 19.5 in 2006 with 21k. Had I not just bought, I would have jumped on it

Everytime I look at it or drive I think the same thing

I drove to the pine barrens (NJ) a few days ago. This vehicle impressed the hell out of me with its stock off-road ability.

i got my 02 with 67,000 miles, leather, sunroof and foglights for $7900 plus tax. i looked around and just happened to come upon it at the right time.

With list being up at $40K on these when they were new, I do not worry about a few thousand one way or the other. If you look for a perfect price, you may never find it. If you do, waste no time on locking it up, or someone else will.

I jumped on our new ride in April '07 for way more than $10K. It was the right color, local dealer, low miles, clean title, and very clean interior / exterior. We saw an '03 for the same price, but the interior looked like hell.
