Has anyone negotiated a good deal in Ontario?
I'm looking at the North edition with Front wheel drive (Automatic).
Has the dealer been willing to remove freight? or come down on the purchase price? Anyone know the invoice price?

Just bought one a couple weeks ago, was able to get in on an invoice sale the dealership was having and got about $2200 off the msrp. Got a TH with premium group and power mysky. not an amazing deal, but pretty decent for a brand new car, i'm sure the dealership was still making at least 10points on the invoice price.

North401, how did you get 6k off? thats amazing!

i haven't seen one of these in the Tdot yet so heres hoping mine will be the first when it arrives... in 3 months...

Tofu, do you have your Renegade yet? I'm just curious how you are finding it.

Not yet, have to wait till at least mid September as they're building it. will def give you guys an update once it comes in. Still hoping to be he first to cruise around the tdot with it.

Sammydni, did you get a manual or auto? If it's the auto, how's everything performing? Read a couple posts about transmission problems and got me worrying. At this point I could back out and get my deposit back and get something else. But the renegade defined its market really well, I don't know if anything else can compare.

I think knucklez was joking? lemon? yellow? Lol

All jokes aside though hope there really isn't a lemon car being passed around in Toronto, and you get your renegade back soon. Please keep us updated on what the problems are.

No it is a black Renegade North from the Woodbridge/Vaughan location. It had around 87km on it when I got it. It's been back to the dealership since Friday morning. They gave me a rental car on Friday night and I have no idea how long I will have it or when I will get my car back. They said they needed more time to run more tests on it.

I'm so happy to see so many of you guys are happy with your Renegades. I still have yet to get mine back and a firm answer as to what is really long. I believe they are beginning into looking for a new one for me, with my exact specs, which makes things a little bit more challenging.

Any updates on what the exact issues are? From your previous posts it sounded like software, but then you mentioned something about missing seals? Doesn't sound good. Hope they figure that out.

I'm still waiting on mine, last update was that it's being framed 2 weeks ago but still no delivery date.

Has anyone had any experience with actually returning their vehicle and getting their money back? I know the states have the lemon laws, wondering if there's anything similar here.

That was just the beginning. They replaced the valve body, which is what they needed the seals for. After they re-programmed and did software stuff, the car wouldn't start. This is when they realized that the wiring harness was crushed, they replaced that. When the car started, it was stuck in reverse. They finally have it out of that and it then recognized drive, neutral, and reverse, but not park. They were told what they had to do through tech line. They looked at the shifter. It now drives, but they were given something to test from tech line, so if they got that done yesterday, they will have to wait to hear back from tech line, which takes forever. I'm on Day 22 of driving a rental car, and not happy with my purchase at all. I opened a case with FCA and they are zero help. I am wondering if it is something to do with the BCM after doing some research on here, but they won't replace any of that type of stuff unless tech line tells them to.

I'm sorry to hear that, and that stuff does worry me a lot about my purchase. There was a thread here I read as well about the crushed wires and them not assembled properly that caused issues.

Thanks for the insight. It seems that for the large percentage of people issues are minor, but for the small percentage the issues are disastrous, do you think you'll wait it out or seek legal action?

Just got back from the dealers. Had a good experience, local dealer is really nice. We'll definitely go here for service but where we buy the car in the end, dunno yet. Took a North package out for a quick zip around. Hey, what's not to love. It feels like your driving a truck, but then you open the door and just step out. i kinda liked that.

Here's what we considered ordering:
Trailhawk
Keyless Go package
Remote start
Cold Weather (the "Canada" package)
Powered mysky (which can also still be manually removed which is cool, i didn't know that)
Trailer tow (yes, mysky AND trailer tow! you can't build that on jeep.ca)

Customer preferred package (no idea what this is)
Affiliate discount of $1475 (i didn't even know this was available, dealer just told me due to company i work for)
Admin costs $499

Total price $35189 + tax

I am considering also to call 3rd party company that negotiates prices for you as i don't really like negotiating, its just not my thing.

Hi Knucklez, thought i just chime in with my recent purchase, I got a TH as well, I took a while at the dealership to understand all the group options (I don't know why they made it so complicated) at the end of the day I went with premium leather group (which includes cold weather and most of the popular equipment group, and obviously leather seats) and power my sky, came to around 34K + hst, so i negotiated around 2200 off the msrp (msrp $36,400), which i don't think is the best i could have done, but pretty decent for a new model car and didn't want to spend more time at the dealership.

I went and tried to configure your options on jeep.ca (fyi you can add power mysky and trailer tow on jeep.ca), also keyless go and remote start is part of the cold weather pack, so they shouldn't be selling you extra for those. even then the msrp is $35,680 so not sure what kind of "discount" they were telling you about but it doesn't add up, i think you can do better.

O, i also got them to remove the admin fee, they can totally do that. The only thing thats really non-negotiable is the destination charge, federal AC tax, and obviously the hst, everything else is negotiable.

Also keep in mind these take months to build and deliver, i ordered mine pretty much at the end of June, just got a call from the dealership that it will arrive mid November.

Hope that helps.

i agree, it just depends on how much you value your return on your time, i mean if i charged $50/hr for all the research and negotiating that went on with this purchase i'd be well over that $300 they charge.

don't mind if you name drop, i'm sure they'll think you're crazy.... and just give you a big discount. http://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/forum/images/JeepRenegade/smilies/tango_face_wink.png

will definitely check back here more often when i get my ride, now its an early christmas present more than anything.
