Haha...nope tried that yesterday.Problem was that is was a good deal.....2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD, loaded up, 10K miles with 2 full years left on bumper to bumper warranty. OTD at $31,100.....couldn't even get the final $100 off. Had to do a harder sell on my kid than the dealer. He was looking for a 2014 because of the money.Had to do a "cost /benefit analysis" for him. Write it all up, photo it and message it to him and hope they had access to phones last night.he calls me up and says "I'm confused, what are all those numbers you sent me/"....I should have done it in 11111 s and 00000s. I explain it all and he says " Yeah, Ok, I guess"..I tell him "Good, because I put a deposit on it already"....

Not knowing I did visit a dealer in an "Area known for shootings". One of my other dealers said "Jesus Christ!!! You went down there?" How was I supposed to know there wasn't a sign.

It's about 3 in the afternoon and about 10 degrees weren't many people on the street. Should of seen the look on the dealers face, he was surprised to see me.
