I taught that one to my niece (7 years old) and she sang it in school one time after correctly answering a question. The teacher was really confused and tried to correct her on the spelling of SMRT/SMART
 
#6,541 ·
I'm still holding out hope that we start CRD production for Jeep in July (or late June) with no more delays. We've all been disappointed over the past few months but from some of the signs such as dealer training etc. it does appear they are gearing up [fingers crossed].
 
#6,543 ·
All the motors are actually built in Italy. Oz should be getting the same CRD with 8sp, less the urea because that is a us requirement only.
 
#6,547 ·
That's what Milious confirmed a couple weeks ago. They have already shipped thousands to Oz. They need to catch up with demand over there first, thus the delay over here where the diesel market is much, much smaller.

]J UST GOT MY NEW CRD!!!!!

OK, I got tired of waiting and found a beautiful 08 Overland CRD with only 46K.....pulled the trigger today....this should tide me over until production starts (and lasts more than 2-3 years as a model)....but I'm still geeked...guess I'll be hanging in a different part of the garage for a while.

The 08's are nice. Saddle interior? Call Keith at Green Diesel Engineering and get the ECO tune. On my 07 I managed to get 24 - 25 mph in the city in the warm months.

I figured out the delay on the 14 CRD. It's been replaced with the LNE. Lock Ness Edition. Come on Nessie...
 
#6,552 ·
I couldn't wait anymore, and when at the dealer to look at a new '14 GC Summit, I played around with a '13 Ram 1500 Longhorn. It had many of the same bells and whistles (8.4" screen, air suspension, 4x4, 8 speed, etc.) and they came way down in price with lots of incentives (i.e. over 10,000 off sticker). I couldnt pass it p and will pick it up Monday.
 
#6,690 ·
Well, I hate my new truck. It doesn't have enough head room, i cant get comfortable and I plain 'ol miss my Jeep.

I am glad I still have my '14 Summit on order, as i think I will trade for it as soon as it comes in. I am sure I will loose my shirt on the truck but I just cant get comfortable in it, no matter what i try. I have even talked to somebody about lowering the seats. But I think it is too much. I am going to talk to my dealer tomorrow and see what he says.

1. Jeep Grand Cherokee
MSRP: $28,795 - $62,995
Invoice: $28,403 - $59,846
Fuel economy: 17 mpg city, 25 mpg highway

Average Discount Off Of MSRP: +5.52%

Get the AOL Autos Best Deal price on the Jeep Grand Cherokee

Refreshed inside and out for the 2014 model year, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has received some updates that have made it one of the best SUVs on the planet. Not only does it have off-road prowess and a great interior, but its Chrysler UConnect system is arguably the best infotainment in the industry. Demand is high, as a result, and the Grand Cherokee is selling at 5.52% above its sticker price on average, making it the toughest car to negotiate this month.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:
 
#6,560 ·
Selling over MSRP? HAHAHAHA! (And that is for any car, not just the Jeep).

I really do feel sorry for some people. I get some people that just don't care about money...but the fact that so many people get taken advantage of by dealers is amazing.
 
#6,564 ·
I have nooooo idea where they got this info.

Better yet. If you want a great deal go buy another car? So in one sentence they claim these are good cars based on demand and another that you should buy something else if you want a deal?

So let me get this straight, if you want a good deal go buy a vehicle that is not as good? Who wrote this crap?
 
#6,567 · (Edited)
If that really is true which seems doubtful I will be able to drive mine for 18 months, sell and get a brand new one and not lose any money! Maybe the CRD will actually be available by then! ;)

This is what KBB says on the Fair Market Value for a 4x4 Summit with the HEMI. More in line with what I would expect.

It's my understanding that everyone with a new '14 got one year for free, so I doubt anyone is renewing yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.
 
#6,573 · (Edited)
As I wait and wait for the CRD, now other options have had time to percolate. For the few times a year I really need a 4x4 SUV in Minnesota, do I really need a new Grand Cherokee CRD? Why not keep my 2003 Murano (which is still in good shape with only 100k miles) for crappy days or when I need to haul something or tow my small utility trailer, and buy something smaller that is fun to drive and gets really good milage? I still want a diesel so things like Audi, BMW, Mercedes and VW diesel cars and compact SUVs would also fill the bill. The new GLK250 Bluetec which is available now is an interesting option, as is the Audi A3 TDI, and there are more diesels coming yet this year. So the current plan is to go and drive a whole bunch of diesels, which will be fun in itself, and just see what clicks for me. I have no immediate requirement, just a desire, for a new vehicle so I can bide my time and get the best vehicle for my needs.

I have owned the ML and driven the VW lots. Trust me the JEEP will cost less in the long run even if you bought a used ML. Feel free to PM me if you want details. I spent 8 months looking at this and the Jeep has a big advantage when all things are considered. Especially maintenance and future repairs.

I will post some simple items and you guys can feel free to ask questions.

Mercedes run full synthetic and you must use their specific blend not just any old Diesel Syn. You can buy a Mobil 1 version of their oil but it has to have their rating.

You must do a full tranny service every 40,000 miles.... I don't know of any modern tranny that goes through fluid like that.

Ask a Dodge guy who still services the 07,08 Merc Diesel how many oil leaks they get. Mine was an 09 and the newer motor etc and I had tranny and engine oil leaks every year ( I thought it was because of the heavy towing I do but the dodge guys tell me the old ones leaked lots)..... maybe this is why you need to service the tranny so often :)

There were tons of other little issues but if I stick just the regular stuff Google their A, B, C, D service system. The car tells you what service you have to do and the latest revision units the Dealer needs to reset the computer using a special tool to make sure you did the service (on my ML you held a few buttons on the dash during start up to clear the message if I got it serviced at private shop to try and save money).

Lastly about the service schedule... I DARE you to try and figure out what services are actually due with an A B C or D service. It is not clear at all and I got widely different versions of what I needed to do at each visit.

Yes you get to change your oil on a Mercedes at extended intervals BUT each visit is going to cost a lot. "A" is supposed to be an oil change only but do you think my vehicle wanted only an oil change in the last year or 30,000 miles noooooo.... my average visit was always around $600.00, no brakes no extra repairs just maintenance.

The first 2 years are OK.... it gets expensive after that.

So I don't go on forever.... VW Audi is a fair bit cheaper but the schedule is definitely higher than Dodge. BMW costs the same as the Mercedes (from my X5 Diesel buddy's perspective when we used to get together and complain about service costs)
