Got mine for more than $3K off sticker. Had a competing dealer offer $2500 off. I bought with AT, 4x4, conv. pkg, upgrade pkg #1, rubber mats, roof rack, step rails (mistake) and TRD exhaust. This was in October in Atlanta. Good luck.
I also looked at many different vehicles before narrowing down to the H3 and FJC. While I have no problem with people buying H3's, I LOVE this FJC. Mine is still stock and we wheel in it without problems. Been through some deep mud and up rutted out hills. Didn't think we'd make it but the...
After setting my mirrors right I havn't had any problems with blinds spots but the wife is still worried. She doesn't drive it much now that I got her Jeep fixed. I think experience in larger vehicles made this a non-issue for me.

I just bought mine too! Love it! Although I have only put 50 of the 300 miles on it. My wife has taken over. If anyone does any trails in the southeast (esp. GA) let me know. We'll join ya.
