Default Need a Jeep or Jag dealer reccomendation (WA)

Well its time to buy my wife a new car, we have been narrowing down the choices all week but finally we are left with two to choose from.

We started looking at M3's, Rangerover Sports, Audi A5, Jag XF (supercharged) and finally the Jeep Cherokee SRT8.

After the dust has settled we are left with the Jeep and the Jag, we have supporting dealers for Lexus here on CL and I have been trying to find similar dealer for teh JEEP and the JAG. Can someone point me to a Jeep forum that has supporting dealers that will help me buy one near, below or at Invoice? I will probably need the same for the JAG too. But I want to start with the Jeep SRT8. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks Morris

Well I would either suggest, Land Rover/Jaguar up north near me. It's near alderwood mall. Or at the Fife automalls Land Rover/Jaguar dealer.

Hey Mike thanks for the redirect.

We test drove the supercharged XF today, lets just say its neck and neck at this point. Both cars are pretty darn tight and have over 400hp each, there is a 20K price difference between the two, we have to drive the XF again as it was raining and she didnt get a chance to really get on it like she wanted.

I found a guy that will selll the Jeeps at 500 below invoice so I think I have that covered, now I just need to look around for a JAG dealer that will sell near invoice.

Oh and Shonn we actual did the test drive at the Lynwood Jag dealer thanks for the referall.

I used to work for Land Rover/Jag of Bellevue and I'm not gonna lie... Those are the most problematic cars on the road by far... I'd honestly look into something else. X5 FTW.

when you say up 405 do you mean north on I5?

I'd never vouch for the quality of the SRT-8, but its a beast in a straight line.

I've never been shopping at one of those dealers but you could always try the auto row in Bellevue of 520. I believe you live north of Kirkland right Morris? Well if you take 405 S and hop onto 520 E and take the first exit, then a left at the light you'll pass quite a few higher end dealer ships along with a couple exotic/race/collector car dealership. That's where alot of money shops at though so prices could very easily be little steeper, cant hurt looking though.

thanks for the leads MkIII.

I should also say that I dont care where there the dealers are. The SRT8 is in Houston, I'll either drive it back or have it shipped back.

Havent found much in terms of US based jag forums, there are some but no where near as active as CL or Corvetteforums.

Worst case scenario I will email what I want to the 10 -20 closest dealers with Internet sales, if those exist and let them give me bids

i dont know much about good jag/jeep dealers. but never ever go to Jag of Bellevue. the salesmen (2 of them) i dealt with are dishonest, liars and pain in the ***. they meant one thing at first and another thing the 2nd time u asked. in fact i've already fixed a price at first and they actually denied giving me that price and was quoting me 1k above what they mentioned at first.

Was it some younger looking guy with a weird name? If so, he is notorious for being dishonest and a little slime ball. He had an accent as well, but I just can't remember his name off the top of my head. Jag of Bellevue FTL.
