Huntington Beach Jeep dealer usually sells Grand Cherokee 8-10% less than the invoice price not MSRP. I do not know how but they do. I have been checking them last 2 years and they always have the same deals. You can check from their website for 2013 Grand Chreokee to get an idea but I am sure they will have same deals on 2014s. I am not affiliated with the dealer just an customer. They have MSRPs and actual invoices on their website.

Thanks for the heads up. They're about an hour from where I live, but at those prices it's worth the drive.

Ordered my SRT - teehee :D

Thanks for all the info on this site guys - it has been awesome.

Now, I just have to figure out how to get a paint pen to Chevy and Marlon and whomever else is on the line to sign under the hood when it rolls by!

Milous, thank you for the USA info. FYI, you have the Overland interior options under Summit and no Summit interior options...
 
#7,819 · (Edited)
Compare their 2013 msrp and invoice numbers to a 3rd party like Edmunds and you'll see they are probably doing the classic mark-upski then mark-downski to make it sound better than what it is. That being said I did get my 2010 for probably 10+percent off invoice and they threw in Goodyear Silent Armor tires and a bug deflector but that was when they were really trying to get rid of them.

Is Stop and Go a confirmed feature of the Adaptive Cruise Control yet? I know it was planned, but I seem to recall there was some doubt on the topic.

Thanks!

Congrats on the Overland Sno and for standing up to the significant other. Hope you've got a bottle of Crown Royal or a good right hook!
 
#7,829 ·
If we don't hear from Sno for a while, should we like... be releasing a tape to the newspapers or something?

If I wanted to order with the options I wanted, I was forced (Jeep packages) to the Overland.

The wife is at work and I have informed her...Not to happy I must say.

Good luck with that. My advice to you is drink heavily. Oh wait, you live in Wisconsin. Disregard!

Well since everyone is so concerned for my safety and well being...Maybe we should start a "Save SNo" charity...Otherwise, who knows what might happen.

I take all US money...all amounts are accepted (even $1000!!!)

For the big donors, I'll think of a special gift just from me!!

Just tell her the Overland gets better gas mileage than the Limited, my wife would definitely buy that.

That won't fly here. One of these days I will wake up with a catheter in me (she has threatened me before with it!)

Has anyone been on the Jeep website since Monday, 1/14? I was reviewing the brochure for the 2014 GC and I was looking at the color chart for each model. I was very disappointed not to see Silver or Mineral Gray attached to any of the models. Am I missing something, or did Jeep eliminate them?
Milious, any comments from you would be greatly appreciated. The lack of gray is a deal breaker for me!!!!
 
#7,847 ·
I'm going to say no to this...It's only $30 and you will be glad you did when you can track your vehicle!!

Order placed for Australian delivery. !!

2014 JGC Overland/Summit - up to now the local Overland spec is that of the Summit so ordered an Overland and we will see closer to the time if there is a Summit released in which case the dealer will change the order.
Colour: White
Engine: Diesel

So its a stab in the dark as there is no info here yet on anything from Chrysler/Jeep Australia.

I'm looking to order an Overland today - Deep Cherry Red with black interior, 5.7 L Hemi. Quick question for you guys - how much difference is there between the Quadra-Drive II and the Quadra-Track II systems. Is it worth upgrading on the Overland for only limited off-road use? Thanks in advance for your help.
