Well here is my new ride! 2014 Summit with the Hemi in Granite Crystal. This thing is really smooth and the Granite Crystal color is the best looking color for the Summit in my opinion. I am really glad I went with the hemi instead of the V6. It feels good to have that power behind the pedal when I need it. Shifting is super smooth. I LOVE the look of the chrome with this color paint. The HK sound system sounds delicious! Honestly, it is far better than the Alpine and I am super pleased with it. It was one of the main reasons I decided on the Summit instead of the Overland. Everything is crisp with the perfect amount of bass, mids and highs. I love having the front park sensors too. Gas sucks on it, but I didn't buy this thing so I could have good mileage. I bought it so I can get from point A to point B and back without any problems.
I got a great price on this from my dealer. MSRP was $55,885. I got it for $49,395 plus tax/tags. Total OTD price was $52,075. No one locally could come anywhere close to his price. I went to about 4 different dealers and called about 10. Nobody could touch it. Every other dealer told me that I was being lied to when I told them the price I was offered. Boy do I hate car salesmen with a passion! Honestly, most are the biggest scum of the earth lol. The only person that did better was Nader at Koons for the DC group buy. Nader was a pleasure to speak with over the phone. His total price OTD was about $300 better, but I would have spent that money traveling back and forth along with the time it would have taken. I feel good about my decision to stay local.
A few things. 1st off, the speaker cover on the driver side door was dented in. Dealer pointed it out to me right away and said it came that way. I am thinking that maybe they kicked it while prepping the vehicle for me. They are ordering me a new cover.
There were a few scratches on the engine cover. I might complain about that but I am not sure yet. No one is ever going to see it, but it just bugs me a little knowing it is there.
Everything else seems great. Oh yeah, I noticed a little bump on one of the polished wheels. Kinda like a pimple. Not sure if it is worth complaining about.
I plan on tinting the front side windows to match the back. I also plan on installing some cameras in it to record video while I am driving. I haven't decided on a system yet. Also planning on some all weather floor mats. I am leaning towards the Husky but still need to do some research. Might put a good air intake and possibly exhaust, but I am worried about screwing up any warranties if I do so. Does putting an air intake like a Volant really improve performance? I've done custom work on my motorcycles in the past but never worked on anything with 4 wheels. I want to toy with it a little but don't want to mess anything up.
I really am glad I went with this over the other vehicles I drove. The BMW X5 and Mercedes ML350 were both nice, but clearly did not have the value that this Jeep has. Lets just hope it stays that way
Thanks to everyone for their help with my many questions. I guess I am officially part of the family now.
