Read conflicting reports. One wrote June 11 on another forum, supposedly Chrysler customer care wrote end of June while first guy said if not this coming week then in July. I was at a dealer today and he stated slowdown is due to Grand Cherokee sales. I think the order banks are not open yet due to 2013 surging sales - thinning out old inventory.

Chrysler delayed the order bank opening for all models, from June 4th to June 11th. I don't believe Durango will open on the 11th, mainly due to the fact that production starts late (as originally planned).

Milous, are the invoice prices out yet? My wife likes my jeep interior and is itching for a Durango. We need the 3 rows for her veh
 
#308 ·
Just got a call from the local dealership...looks like I will be ordering the new Durango this week. Any thoughts on where I should start on pricing relative to invoice? I was looking through the JGC threads to get an idea of where some were locking in relative to invoice. Any feedback would be appreciated.
 
#309 ·
Was hoping to see invoice pricing myself.

Would help make a purchase decision a bit easier.
 
#311 ·
Hmmm... any pricing info available?
 
#314 ·
Nice.

Thanks Milous!

I've looked through the feature .pdf and have a couple of questions.

  • On page 1, It says High-intensity Discharge (HID) bi-xenon headlamps. Includes automatic headlamp leveling system and halogen high beams. This is for the Citadel and R/T and available as a package on the Limited. Page 6 simply lists it as High-intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps with automatic headlamp leveling. At the bottom page 7, an option for the Limited and R/T is the Safety, Security, and Convenience Group... which includes auto high beam headlamps and low beam HID auto-leveling headlamps (Limited). I'm not sure what this means, it seems to contradict itself.
If they're "bi" xenon, where does the halogen high-beam come in? I thought bi-xenon meant both low and high beam in one bulb. There are 3 references to the HID headlamps and none of them match.​
  • My next question is in regards to the Uconnect Access via Mobile vs. Uconnect Access via Mobile with voice recognition. Some places in the feature .pdf show this as voice recognition navigation while others omit the word navigation and just show voice recognition. What is voice recognition... is that supposed to really refer to navigation? Examples of this are on pages 3 and 7 of the feature availability .pdf. What I'm really trying to ensure is that I can use my bluetooth phone hands free. Does the Limited have that by default? Do all models have that by default?
  • Finally, on page 3 under Multimedia Systems, the first 3 options show the touchscreen with AM/FM/CD/..., yet a single CD player is an option a few lines below that. I think this is just a copy and paste artifact from a previous document but it's clearly misleading.


Many thanks to anybody that can shed some light on this for me.

Ordered!

Don't think it's in the system yet, but I assume it will be today or tomorrow. Pretty much a fully loaded V-6 Citadel (Black with Black/Tan interior), tech package, captains chairs with center console, Blu-ray, trailer package.

Pricing was not in the system yet, but we agreed on $500 over dealer invoice. (Minus any incentives that may ultimately apply). Thought that was fair for a brand new model.

Basically, I put $1,000 down to have my name on the order, but will get that back if I ultimately refuse delivery for whatever reason.

Will have a few weeks until it goes into "D" status to make any changes. I did see a Jeep GC with the CD player on the lot and was not thrilled with how much space that took up in the Jeep console. I may end up removing the Blu-Ray player.

I'm not 100% sure I will end up taking delivery of the Durango, but I want to be able to take delivery in September if I do. For me, it's going to be between the Durango, a 2013 Infiniti JX35 (aka 2014 QX60) or 2014 Acura MDX. The Acuras are just starting to hit the lots now.

There is probably a bit too much "chrome" for my tastes on the Citadel, but my feature requirements limit my options to the Citadel or R/T. For my needs I prefer the V-6 and the non-sport suspension...so Citadel it is.
