How much did you pay for your Summit

I'm trying to figure out if i got a good deal on the Summit I ordered.

Hemi, 4X4, Adaptive Cruise, 730N nav, no DVD but large sunroof instead. i think most of those features are standard on the Summit but wanted to list them.

I got mine out the door for $47,000. I live in NC so that was tag, tax, destination charge, etc, etc.

What is everyone else paying or seeing on the streets?

^ That seems like a good deal. :thumbsup:

So living in Alaska you don't have to pay tax on anything including new vehicles. Right now the dealership is selling me the Jeep for $48,???. Thanks to a family friend though, I will be getting the employee discount (up to 5% off the $48,???)

So I don't know what that adds up too, but I will probably be paying around $46,??? (I'm probably off on the number.) All in all though I am happy.

Oh also I got every option on this Jeep except the Mopar Chrome Edition Group and the Off Road Option.

:confused: Not trying to jack the thread but does anyone know if there are any rebates or discounts on the Summit Jeep yet? :confused:

Even though I like the Summit I still think it's nothing more than a way for Jeep to roll in some extra cash for an Overland. Your price seems good for a Summit, but you paid exactly $3,000 more for your summit than I paid for my identically equipped Overland. The rest is just personal preference as to whether you like the cosmetic changes to the summit compared to the regular Overland. For me, those changes on the summit are not worth a few thousand dollars. This is in no way bashing the summit as I think they are sweet, but as far as I know there is not a single feature/option that sets the summit above the standard Overland. So the extra money goes to exactly what? Both have the same 20" wheels in a different finish, both have plastic front grills one with extra chrome, both have wood trimmed interiors one being wood colored the other black, both have leather interiors.

Not really disagreeing, but ....you were fortunate to be able to squeeze in your order for a non-Summit with Saddle and the RHR in a tiny window of time.

For those of us who missed the window, it came down to: Either wait til the Saddle/Black came off of restriction, or swallow hard and take the Summit uplift. For my extra $$ I got:

1) The Summit interior has more leather - some like that, some don't. Fortunately I do

2) I really like the Summit darker wood

3) I like the chrome fog light bezels, not so sure about the "tinsel teeth"

4) Rugged Brown was my #1 color choice

To be honest, if the Saddle was not on restriction, I probably would have taken my #2 color choice, as long as I could upgrade to the RHR. In other words, items 1-4 above are nice but I "overpaid' for them in my mind.

Once I get my new baby, I doubt I'll look back though. Been drooling over some of the sweet pics on the forum and tales of happy owners.

I tried to order the overland with the saddle in charcoal grey, but, i couldnt get the saddle... i realized jeep was pushing the demand for the saddle into the higher priced summit. i'm assuming some of their decision was "people want saddle then we are going to make them buy the summit". i did hear where teh overland was taken off "saddle" restriction. i'm good with the summit, but, could take those chrome wheels off. are they not making the wheels that were like the stock picture? those were sweet.

The Summit Edition Group costs $4,085 (all prices in MSRP). It comes with Advanced Warning and Adaptive Cruise Control which is a $1,295 option on the standard Overland along with Saddle interior which is $275. So, the mark up is $2,515 for the Summit versus the Overland with Saddle interior and ACC (assuming the Overland is supposed to come with the 730N RHR versus the 430N RHB which is a $305 price difference but if not the difference would be $2,210).

For the $2,515 (or $2,210 as the case may be) you get the upper interior trim in Saddle instead of Black (upper doors, upper dash), upgraded floor mats, additional seat stitching, Black Olive wood trim instead of brown, polished wheels versus painted, chrome grill insert, and chrome fog lamp bezels. Plus you can order Rugged Brown exterior if that's your thing too.

I suppose if you wanted to buy just the polished wheels separately later you'd be pretty close to the additional package price...although you'd have to sets of wheels.

It really is a preference thing and how much you want to spend...but the additional cost for what you get is not outrageous by any standard.

Both Summit & Overland are very nicely equipped, I too had my Overland on order since late October and now pushed out to early April due to 730 RHR delays. Ordered with all but 2 options: Rr DVD out, large sunroof more appealing; Chrome Package added then later removed, lower cost to add & install after delivery. My Overland purchased price was apx 6% discount off MSRP, before T&L. I considered the Summit for possible faster delivery, 730RHR availability and I like the chrome wheels & fog bezels. The optional extras: fog bezels (stnd Summit), door sill trim, skid plates and tow hooks can be added easily but the non-painted wheels were a big consideration... although I like polished aluminum better! Everyone expresses the Saddle Interior & Brown Paint to be top choice; for me those were the 2 points of Summit trim I personally didn't enjoy for 2 reasons: 1) After 4 Dark POV, wanted lighter colors both interior & exterior, 2) I question if the Summit colors will be as popular years down the road for resell. Again, both great trim packages... all personal choices! The Overland trim, purchased extras & purchased wheels (polished 20" on Durango Crew Lux) will probably be slightly over the cost of the Summit, but the outcome of choice.
