I'm looking to order the GCL Summit Reserve and have a few questions before I place a factory order. Really appreciate it you all could help me find some answers.
1. Is the Baltic Grey color different from the gray color they showed when launching the vehicle a few months back?
2. When you place the order are you getting it at a price less than MSRP or is MSRP what you are agreeing to pay?
3. Is the deposit for factory order refundable? Most dealers that I spoke to told me it's non refundable.
4. Is the 5.7 L engine worth the wait? I'd like to feel good acceleration and have good a driving feel when I'm spending this much money.
5. In the online configurator it's says the 19 speaker system is McIntosh but the subwoofer is Harmon Kardon. Is that correct?
Thanks a lot!!!
1. I saw it in person for the first time today and I love the Baltic gray. The dealer had a limited in every color and it was sunny out. The launch vehicle was painted Baltic grey.
2. I leased mine and was targeting a total out the door lease number. Depending on who it is leased through at the end, I'll have wound up being somewhere between 3500-5000 under MSRP. I asked for number based on the treadlightly program and it was $8 less than what I was already negotiated at with my dealer and they said they weren't even sure they'd be able to use tread lightly on the GCL SR (this was late April) plus it would cost me $100 and I'd have to wait 30 days to order. If you have the time to wait, check out the $100 tread lightly membership as I believe they are being accepted by dealers.
3. Dealer discretion on refund of deposit and situation.
4. Other than online youtube reviewers, none of us have driven a V8 since they only made a few for the purpose of showing them off but they haven't manufactured in bulk, therefore, I don't think anyone can say it's worth the wait as no one has one yet.
5. I haven't seen/heard about HK sub with McIntosh but haven't seen a lot of reviews of it either. A lot of the online info from jeep around launch had conflicting/incorrect info so I'd be surprised if it has all McIntosh Highs and Mids and Amp but a HK sub.
Hope that helps a little.
