So im sure many of you know the new GC is avalible with the new 3.0 V6 turbo diesel motor, that can do up to 730 miles per tank, tows 7,400LBs, and gets 30MPG. Who doesn't want that GC right? Well how many of you have looked on jeeps website and tried to configure one. Kinda bad news in my opinion.
The diesel option is only for the limited, Overland, and Summit.
The limited starts with 4X4 at $37,795, then you have to add the $4,500 option for the diesel and 8spd tranny, ok so we are at $42,295, but wait! Jeep won't let you add the diesel without the Luxury II group with is $4,000, so now it's $46,295, and you know if your gonna spend $46K you mine as well buy the off road adventure II group for $1,795 and the trailer tow for $750, now we are at $48,840, and whats a $49K car without navigation, so that's $795, now we are at $49,635. Almost $50K for a GC with a diesel, I don't think it's worth the fuel savings, lol.
And you know for about $4,500 more you can get the Overland with Advanced Brake Assist, Blind Spot and Rear Cross Path Detection, Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation. and for $2,000 more you can get the Summit, top of the line! But if your gonna spend $57K why not go all out and buy the SRT for $62K.
But lets be honest, if you can afford to spend $62K, why not buy a lexus, infinti, acura, something nicer. And boy if you can afford one of those, then you got some money, and that would be torwards my house than a car, lol
Guys this was for ****s and giggles, but at the same time the truth. Why couldn't they offer the diesel at the base model, and call it a day for $35K with diesel? More people could afford one then, cause heck, id love to have one, but not for almost $50K. I also know there will be rebates that will lower the price, but lets say $5K, it's still $40-45K!
