Buy a Jeep Gladiator? What were you quoted? What did you pay?

Just looked at my dealer close to my home. They have 10 gladiators, and it looks like they are marking them up $5k. I see a couple of sports and with destination price, it was listed at $51k.

There is no way in hell i would buy it with a $5k markup...for any car or truck.

Former owner of a Ram 1500, Current owner of a Dodge charger scat pack, possible future owner of a jeep gladiator.

The gladiator isn't in my near future, so easy for me to say this, but I can't see why someone would pay a dealer mark up when if they just wait a couple months the supply will catch up with the demand. But sure plenty will do it. Paying full msrp in this new window is one thing but not extra to fill the dealer's pockets

I haven't purchased a new vehicle in over 10 years but since we're getting a new Gladiator, I reached out to people here and some other people and literally within an hour I was able to find dealers that don't do non-lubricated rape deals. It takes research and effort but may save you from a raw financial butthole.

I went by the local Stealership yesterday to see a Gladiator in person.

They had three, two overland and one Rubicon, and each had an "Added Dealer Markup" of $15,000😱🤯

I might go yank their chain for a test drive, but won't even try to deal with them with an attitude like that.

The Rubicon was $78,000 with their crap added on. I hope they choke on them.

Its a JLU with a 40k - 5’ bed.... that needs 25k in mods to run 40’s... so it can wheel like a JLU. [emoji23][emoji23]

The first import dealer has the gladiators listed for customer orders now. A fully loaded (besides hardtop) rubicon gladiator will be around $82k. Just wanted to show you how expensive these things are here on the other side of the ocean [emoji16]

Be careful, those are us spec. The export ones aren't shipping yet. So depending where you live you may have legal issues. I know one guy posted something similar and they removed the rear seat to meet some technicality and it cannot be reinstalled for 30 years. Which is crazy.

Mmh, crazy with that seat issue. I only know this when you remove rear seats for good to make it a commercial use truck and save some taxes.
I bought my canada spec (except speedo unit US spec) JL from this dealer, no probs. The gladiators will be canada spec as well. The dealer made it legal with a lot of special permission that can apply for brand new import vehicles.
As far as prizes go, this will be pretty much it because its a fix order once you sign the contract.

Oh holy hell, I wont buy one, wallet too small I guess[emoji16]
But hopefully I will see some on the streets. But concerning the JL price tag: its only about 10k more than a JL. Similar to the US market.
Prices here include modifications on lights, shipping, import taxes and fees and the paperwork to get it on the road legally with sepcial permissions....thats a huge amount on top of the list price

Dealers that have a 19k market adjustment just need to go broke no one needs crap like that. I imagine their service and parts departments have the same markups why would anyone give them business. When I see that on any model they cary I just walk away from the whole place...thieves and cheats run that place.

I can’t believe they can sell them with that type of serious gouging...I’m going to pack my trout rods next year and fly to Idaho to buy one and drive it back...hopefully for $25k less than that...
