Ok, so pretty broad topic, please stick with me!
I'm new, never owned a Jeep before, but have always secretly wanted one! Well, I just happened to be looking for a new car and was checking out the Chevy Equinox, Ford Escape, Edge, and BMW X1. Long story short, one of my friends just got a Wrangler and told me to check out Jeep. I passed it off, never really liked the Jeep's I saw besides the Rubicon, but that doesn't fit the bill of my needs. So, I ended up test driving a GC and really liked it! While it's more expensive than the above (except the BMW), it's filled with a lot of goodies! :thumbsup:
I'm a HUGE BMW fan, but I can't ignore the fact that the GC has a lot more options and standard features. Unfortunately, BMW has been falling behind these last few years. They still command a premium, but just don't have the features.
I am concerned though, because the GC is a lot of money, and while I'm going to lease, I'm still hesitant because of all of issues I've read about. I'm going to order new, so hopefully most, if not all of these issues, will be resolved by now, since it's been a bit of time since release.
That said, before I place my order, I'm wondering if there's anything I should ask for/know about? What do you guys tell/ask the dealer when you ordered? Anything I should be aware of? The only thing I'm requesting at this point is no front license plate/no holes in the bumper. :thumbsup:
I hope I'm making the right decision going with Jeep!
14' JGC Limited in Max Steel with 8.4" (no nav). I'm getting it for slightly over 4% below invoice, $3,500 off MSRP...considering this is local I don't think that's too bad. The DC and Texas buy and just too far away and wouldn't save me much with time and travel expenses.
