Hi everyone. I recently ordered a 2005 GC Limited from a local dealer. Does anyone know the approximate current lead time for an order? Also, does anyone know a way to track your order through Chrysler (other than the dealer)? I've tried the customer assistance information on wkjeeps.com but did not hear a option for order tracking? Thanks for your help. I can't to get the GC. 05' Grand Cherokee Limited - Blue with Greystone Interior - 5.7L Hemi - Quadra Drive II - DVD Navigation - Parksense - Premium Tire/Pressure monitor |

I have a 93 GC Limited, green, khaki leather interior. Has been a gem of a vehicle. I am looking to buy a 2005 GC, Limited, Hemi and want to know which stereo might work with the IPOD. I have found a few new connectivity kits that work by plugging into either the cd changer harness or the back of car stereos. Does anyone have an IPOD hooked up with a 2005 GC? The kits I have seen online so are are the Monster Cable " Icruze " and the Audiovox " Ipod Mobile interface kit". So far I am leaning towards getting the navigation radio but would be willing to settle for one of the other ones if I could connect my IPOD and have the car stereo buttons control it. The Itrip sort of sucks. Thanks to everyone for posting on this site, it has helped me negotiate a great price on a new Jeep.. I'm just waiting for my VW Jetta to sell or get a good deal on a trade in. I also want to trade in the Jeep so they aren't wanting to give me much for them and they don't seem to be selling.

Hi snowmancomic, I was informed it would be 6-8 weeks before it would come in. I chose to have the dealer locate the one I wanted from another dealer and do a "Dealer Trade." This is actually kinda funny, but the one I picked out ended up being a demo. It seems the owner liked it so much he started driving it and has put on 1500 miles. I am not interested in that one, so now back to the drawing board. I called Jeep Customer Rebates Center, (800)227-0757 to find out how long rebates will be in effect. They have extended it thru April 4. And they will not know until 04/05/05 if they are extended further. |

Replying to: jeep3 (Mar 29, 2005 2:54 pm) 6-8 weeks was what I was quoted also, just was wondering if anyone had ordered recently and received theirs. I ordered it about 2 weeks ago and when i stopped by last Sat, they said a VIN number had been assigned and was scheduled for delivery sometime in April. Any idea on how to track it through production? I also tried to have the dealer locate one within a 200 mile radius, but no luck on the color/options I was looking for. Only one we found was completely loaded and about 2.5K more than I wanted to spend. My dealer told me that the current rebates (excluding the financing rebate) would apply as of the order date and I would get any applicable financing rebate that was available at the date the GC arrived and I took ownership. Thanks for your help. |

Replying to: snowmancomic (Mar 29, 2005 3:10 pm) Call Jeep directly and simply ask for any help. I got the number off of jeep.com and they were very helpful. The rebate center informed me if you order before the end of a rebate period, the dealer MUST give you the best rebate. That is if the rebates are more when your car comes in, you get the additional amount and if they are less you still get the highest amount. This only applies if you ORDER the SUV. According to two different dealerships, Jeep is not taking orders for the black hemi's at this time. Paulie wrote earlier that the price should not be much different if you order than if you bought it off the lot. I had three dealerships say that it would be approximately $400-$600 more due to dealer holdbacks. I honestly have no clue if that is true. What options did you get, list price and finally what did you pay? Thanks Rusty |

Replying to: jeep3 (Mar 29, 2005 2:54 pm) And the other information was true about the rebates. As I stated in an earlier post, the dealer in Chillicothe MO guaranteed me the highest rebate available -- either by order date or by delivery date. It's worth the wait. It's one heck of a machine. |

Replying to: snowmancomic (Mar 29, 2005 3:10 pm) Please outline your deal, options and price. I may end up going with a different color and ordering it so I would like to do my homework first. Also, what part of the country are you in? Thanks Rusty

Replying to: jeep3 (Mar 30, 2005 5:00 am) I went in as a Affliates rewards program member (Chrysler supplier), so I received a set 1% under invoice price of the vehicle. Only complain I had with the Affliates program was that I eneded up having to pay about an extra $150 for regional advertising that is gernally waived for the consumer (the dealer showed me the invoice witht he program price on it), so I'm figuring I was about $250 under invoice all together. I don't have the numbers in front of me right now, but will post them later. I do remember sticker on the truck was 40,575. The location in Rochester NY, dealer was Doan Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep. |

Replying to: scotsman97 (Mar 18, 2005 6:41 am) In following up to a previous post I made regarding the very poor visibility in the new 2005 jeep grand cherokee.. I actually went out and traded it in at a loss for another new vehicle. After driving for 1 month I coulnd't get used to it and my fiance' hated it also. Others/family who drove the vehicle said it was so bad it was an accident waiting to happen. I got headaches driving it becuase I was looking straight at the rearview mirror while driving and the A-Pilars so badly obstructed my view. So on saturday, I traded it in for a big loss (6K) and got another vehicle. I would rather loose lots of $$ than kill someone like I almost did 2 weeks ago because I couldn't see them walking past my vehicle on the right. That my friends is very scary. $6k is nothing when you compare insurance in Massachusetts and if I was at fault for any accident.. chrysler wouldn't do anything and certainly would never accept partial fault for such a crap design..its too bad.. because I am a loyal jeep owner and previously owned two other Jeep GCs. So buyers beware, the 2005 Jeep GC looks kewl and rides smooth, but the visibility is horendous and an accident waiting to happen. Keith Massachusetts.

Replying to: u2fan4688 (Mar 30, 2005 9:05 am) I know this isn't funny but when I read your post: "because I couldn't see them walking past my vehicle on the right," I thought is must have been one of two things:1) you were driving really really slow or 2) they were walking really really fast. I have driven the new GC a few times and honestly I did not notice any difference in the blind spots between the 2005 and my 1999. I'm curious, were you a previous GC owner? Were you backing up or what? |
