How to Get the Best Deal on a New Jeep

Few things are more rewarding than getting a good deal on a new vehicle. According to the University of California Berkeley International Office, researching or becoming educated about all that's required in purchasing a vehicle will help you save a lot of money. Getting the best deal on a new Jeep is possible thanks to the many rebates and discounts offered by Jeep dealerships.

Things You'll Need

  • Friend/family member
  • Budget
  • Money
  • Shop around at different Jeep dealerships to compare prices. Let each dealership know that you're checking multiple Jeep dealerships, as they may offer you an even lower price if they know they have competition from rival dealerships. Bring a friend or family member along who's knowledgeable about evaluating and purchasing Jeeps.

  • Set a strict budget of what you're willing to spend. If a dealership is not willing to meet your budget, walk away and try a different Jeep dealership.

  • Negotiate with the salesperson and offer a lower price for the Jeep. According to Philip Reed of the Wartburg College Student Life and Pathways Center, when dealing with the standard salesperson, he or she will always try to start the negotiations at a high price with the expectation of being negotiated down.

  • Ask for special discounts or rebates. Many Jeep dealerships offer special incentives, customer cash allowances, low financing options and discounts and rebates to serious customers. Check with the dealership on-site and online at official Jeep and Chrysler websites to determine which rebates and incentives are currently offered.

  • Pay the full cost of the Jeep upfront in cash. According to the University of California Berkeley International Office, you can often get the best price for a new vehicle by offering to pay the full amount in "cash," cashier's check or traveler's checks.

  • Lease the Jeep if you can't pay upfront for the vehicle. Leasing helps lower monthly payment and can save an individual money on taxes.
