#222 of 661 Re: Lead Time on an GC LTD [snowmancomic] by jeep3 Mar 29, 2005 (5:31 pm)
Replying to: snowmancomic (Mar 29, 2005 3:10 pm) snowmancomic,   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) I ordered my JGC LTD and it took about 6-8 weeks. As for tracking, it took a little less than 2 weeks for it to be built once a VIN number was assigned. The dealer can tell you when it is built and the status changes to "shipped". After that, it's a black hole until it rolls up on the dealer's lot. That took another 2-3 weeks. But if the dealer gives you the VIN number, you can use Jeep.com to find it once it's built. What you do is put in the dealer zip code and then search inventory. Your JGC should show up. At least you know it's there waiting on a train or truck to come get it.   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) Hi snowmancomic,   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 Replies to this message: snowmancomic (Mar 30, 2005 6:26 am)

Replying to: jeep3 (Mar 30, 2005 5:00 am) Hi Rusty,   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.
#226 of 661 I just sold my 2005 Jeep GC - Hated it by u2fan4688 Mar 30, 2005 (9:05 am)
Replying to: scotsman97 (Mar 18, 2005 6:41 am) hi all, 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) Hi Keith,   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?

#229 of 661 Re: 2005 GC - can you connect an IPOD? [jplessnseattle] by jplessnseattle Apr 01, 2005 (3:55 pm)
Replying to: jplessnseattle (Mar 29, 2005 2:28 pm) I thought I'd post the deal I just made last night: EASTSIDE CHRYSLER JEEP, Bellvue WA.   05 GC Limited, Green/khaki, Hemi, Chrome wheels, Navi,backup sensor,tow package, side airbags and a few other things I really wasn't looking for but it had. Basically I paid invoice, received all the rebates including the $500 Heroes or something like that (EMT Certification). It was a really good deal considering that they filled the jeep up, gave me a free oil change and very good trade in on My Jetta Wagon. Very nice, busy dealership full of last minute Linda's & Larry's (like us of course!). I talked to the parts guy and he didn't think the IPOD connection kit would work with the stereo's in these new jeeps. I will still check with Monster & Audiovox and post on one of these forums if I ever figure this stuff out. Also I am about to go out right now and try and pair my Cingular Motrola V551 phone. X your fingers for me.
#230 of 661 College Grad Program by forty9 Apr 14, 2005 (8:23 am)
In case anyone is interested, Chrysler/Jeep offers a great recent College Grad incentive program which is far superior to any other company out there. I am graduating this May and have been shopping around for a new SUV. For the price, incentives, and 5-year ownership costs on the JGC, buying one is a no brainer. Here is how the program breaks down:   -1% below invoive off the bat -must pay a $75 program fee to join -must be graduating from college I believe 6 months prior to purchase date or have graduated up to 2 years before purchase date -proof of employment or future employment   This is not a plug for Chrysler/Jeep either, believe me. I am simply informing recent College grads of the great deals out there willing to be had. I have test driven the JGC and plan to buy by the end of the month. This SUV rides silky smooth and looks great. I was turned off of the 4-Runner and Pathfinder due to higher price and 3rd row seating. Hope this helps anyone in the market for an SUV. I hope to be posting my buying experience very shortly. - Forty
#231 of 661 Making my final choice by shorty101 Apr 18, 2005 (8:00 pm)
After months of deliberation I have decided to go with the JGC limited G package. I was offered the following deal today: MSRP $32,830 Final Price: (including TTL) of $19,000   This includes the $3,500 in rebates and discounts and $10,000 for my trade (2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer with 89,000 miles on it). Now I just have to decide on what color. I gave the dealer three colors (Silver, White and Light Khaki) and they have come back with all three. At first I really liked the Khaki but the more I look at it the less I like it. I will probably go with the silver. I will post my final deal when it is completed. I think this is a pretty good deal.
