I bought a 2021 Grand Cherokee Limited on December 30, 2021. It was built or released to the dealer on December 24, 2021. If, as used to be the case, production was halted between Christmas and New Year, my car could be one of the last off the production line. Is there a way to tell the production order of a vehicle? I'm just curious because I think it would be neat to have a car built on the last day of production. I deliberately went with a '21 because I figured the '22s would be more expensive (they were by about $2,800 for the same car with the same equipment) and more trouble prone (don't know about that yet), as many new models are. Also, the hood of the '22s look like a cave man's brow and aren't that much different otherwise.
I had emailed David Jeep in Glen Mills, PA, at 4:00 on December 30. By 5:00 I had bought the car for sticker with a 0% loan and was given a loaner, which I picked up the next day. I had never had any contact with that dealership before. In today's world, I thought it was a very good deal. I figure they made things quick and smooth because they were trying to make a year end quota. The car came off the truck on January 12, and they delivered it to my house and took back the loaner that day.
BTW, I love the car. I had been looking at BMW X5, having been a BMW aficionado for years, but was unimpressed. BMWs have regressed into being the indistinguishable near clone of every other manufacturers. New X5s are 20 grand more than the Grand Cherokee Limited and a 3 year old X5 is about the same price as a new Limited. The build quality of the Limited is easily as good ad the BMW.
I will appreciate any input on my question about production order. Thanks.
