Just cut the deal today so I though I'd come on here and introduce myself.

Red, Patriot Sport 4x4 w/ Freedom Drive II (Trail Rated)
CVT Automatic, E Pkg w/ upgraded sound.

Looking forward to hearing/shareing some patriotic stories!

It's in the lot!

Hi all,

My new Patriot JUST rolled off the truck! It took 3 weeks and 5 days from the day I placed the factory order. I pick it up tomorrow... can't wait!

Thanks for the tip on the $2K rebate. My salesman says he was going to tell me when I picked up the Jeep... I think he's telling the truth. Brings the price under $20K, including a Friends and Family discount.

My specs:
Jeep Patriot Sport E
Freedom Drive I
2.4L, 5-speed manual
Steel Blue with gray interior
Sunroof, trailer tow

I've wanted a CJ/Wrangler for years. This is my compromise... a "Daddy Jeep"... room for the family, good mileage, and I still get my 4X4 and a little open air.

Great to finally be part of the Jeep crowd!

I know what you mean about the Surf blue. I originally said Surf Blue. Then when it came time to actually put pen to paper I wussed out and ordered black. I just thought I might get tired of the surf blue. It sure does catch your eye. I will always wonder if I made a mistake when I see the blue ones.

Hey Mick,
I thought about the Surf Blue too but thought that was a lot of sheet metal to have that color on... I had a 90 Horizon that was close to that color though. Pretty cool.

It was raining when I picked up my Steel Blue Patriot yesterday. My wife looked at it and said, "You think that's blue, huh?" It looked quite gray. But it's metallic, so it'll shine when (if?) the sun comes out. She insists my "sunrise red" Ford truck is pink, too...

I'm thinking about pinstripes... maybe a red-and-white set... anyone got any suggestions? It needs something...

Trust me you didnt make a mistake LOL. I have to say that with each day I am liking it more and more. I did not tell everyone today that my fiance picked out the color LOL

I look at it like this... I got a hell of a deal on my jeep.. paint fades and i can have a black one in a few years when the florida sun takes its toll on this blue

Hey Doug

I guess I should say it is more central florida... ( sorry) I am actually in Jacksonville but I called about 20 Jeep dealers in the sate and a few in GA. These guys gave me the best deal I could find.

Hurley CJD in DeLand. Ask for Randy in the internet Dept. They beat everyone by about 1000-2000 dollars!

Tell them you know about the 2000 coupon and the extra 500 dealer cash that no one knows about!! I think I got a total of 3500 in rebates alone. Feel free to email me or PM me and I will get his number for you.

Oh and they delivered my New Jeep up here to me and picked up my trade! Not bad for an internet buy!!
