First, the vehicle she is wanting is an odd ball. 2 door vs. 4 door. Manual vs. automatic. This is a very undesirable (to most) model and no dealer will have one in stock unless they have it as a 'loss leader'. Dealers don't want to order one equipped like this for fear the customer won't take it when it comes in.

She needs to figure exactly how she wants it equipped and use a site like kbb.com or edmunds.com to determine what the invoice price is. Then she needs to decide how much over invoice (if any) she is willing to pay. Finally she needs to go to a dealer, ask for the new car sales manager and tell him she what she wants to order and offer a $5,000 deposit, then negotiate the price. If she can't come to a deal simply go to another Jeep dealer. She will eventually find a dealer that will work with her.
