: Surprised Patriot driver!

Greetings, List!

I went to my Jeep dealership (my last three Grand Cherokees came from there) to look at options for my second car. I need a daily driver that gets good gas mileage, with a little bit of extra room in the back for my occasional camping trips. I have been driving a Saturn Vue. It has been a fine car but the lease is up and I could not find a car I wanted on the Saturn lot.

I went to my Jeep dealership to check out the Libertys. There are some serious rebates offered right now. When I pulled into the lot there was a Patriot Sport in Khaki Metallic. Patriots are still scarce in the Los Angeles area. I had visited this dealership before to check out the first Patriot they had. It was a Limited, and out of my price range.

The window sticker on the Sport was a pleasant surprise. 4cyl. FWD, CVT auto, 17 inch alloy wheels, 6 disc CD/mp3, 4 wheel disc brakes, ABS, side curtain airbags, fold flat passenger front seat, YES fabric seats, electronic stability, remote door locks, and more for $19,075. I took it for a test drive and was sold. They blazed through the leasing process - it helps to be a multiple repeat customer.

Result: two Jeeps in the driveway - both the same color!

Congrats! I am still undecided about going with the Khaki or Jeep Green colour myself.

I went Green. It's looks FAR better in person than it does online or in their brochure.

Most definitely! Oh wait... umm, don't get it in green. Green is the worst color for the Patriot! Get white or black. You don't want a green one, honest you don't. :blah:

(just trying to keep my green Patriot as unique as possible.) :D

I'm stunned that the Patriot is still very rare out in my neck of the woods. The local dealer only had one come in... and I bought it the day it arrived. The news didn't sound any better for the Phoenix metro area.

I went Green as well! My last Jeep (Wrangler Sport Manual) was Green as well. I love that Jeep Green! I haven't gotten mine yet, but it has officially shipped! Yay!
I have not seen a single Patriot live and in person. I live in NYC and have not seen one yet. I see tons of Liberty's and Grand Cherokees... and original Cherokees as well... but no Patriots yet! I can't wait... knowing it is in transit, I have gotten very antsy!

You and I are members of an exclusive and dwindling group. I can tell you want out as bad as I do! :D I stopped by another dealership this past Saturday and they still had not gotten any Patritots delivered!

I have yet to see any patriots on the road other than my own.

No Patriots here in western Montana either. They do have a ton of Compasses sitting there tho...

out here in Oakland County, I've only seen one Patriot on the road that didnt have a manufacturers plate on it, and it was in white. I have a green limited and i cant wait to get it back so i can actually start showing it off.
