Jeep Virgin!

Hooray! Should be signing the papers Tuesday on this Sport.
C Package, 3.7L V6, Automatic, Patriot Blue, Trailer Tow & Offroad group, Sunroof.

Not everything I wanted, but close. Leaves room for mods, right??
First change... losing the pinstripes. Biggest compromise... Infinity Sound.

Can anyone tell me what the following charges are for on the invoice?
Thanks!!

Congratulations on the new KJ! Looks good! =D>

Not sure what the two charges are? You should ask. A local tax perhaps? Licensing?

Welcome to the world of Jeepers! You'll love it (but your wallet won't).

Not 100% sure, but those could be regional area dealer advertising fees. They show up as all kinds of weird-looking line items. By all means ask your dealer on that one. I've heard that around the DC area, however, dealerships have this non-negotiable ad fee that they have no control over because it comes down from the regional guys and it's actually totally legit, not just some BS from the sales guy. You may be a part of this, given that you're in MD, but I'm not sure just how far that radius goes or if this occurs in any other part of the country. Hope this helps!

That is in fact what it is... The only difference in your story, that I've been told, is that the fee is levied by Daimler Chrysler itself to pay for it's regional advertising campaigns.

Ah, good to know. Thanks for the correction! =)

You're not missing much....for the $600+ they charge for the infinity speakers, you can get yourself a pretty impressive aftermarket setup. The normal speakers are also a 6-speaker component setup (and sound pretty nice, if I say so myself).
