Just got home with my Patriot. I drove to the dealership to pick up a white with slate grey interior, came home with an Inferno Red Pearl Sport with pearl beige (which I love WAY more). :banana:

Trade-in for my Expedition seriously blew, but considering I wasn't deep into a high payment, it wasn't all bad. Unfortunately the drive home was in the dark, so I didn't get to gawk at it (or be gawked at!) much, but there is always tomorrow bright and early when I get to enjoy the commute without counting the gas stations!

Thank you everyone on the forum for helping me make an informed decision - I felt like I could have schooled the salesman a bit considering all I have learned from lurking on this site.

I don't know the lingo yet - I got the Inferno Red Pearl Sport, with the 26E package (?) My only issue was that while the white came with the tonneau cover, the red did not, and apart from offering to sell it to me, I wasn't going to get out of there with one. Eh, there's always eBay!

Thanks again!

Congrats Cindy! You are about to fall head over heels for this Patriot! Have a great week showing it off! When you get back down to Earth, post us some photos... Again, congrats....
 
That inferno red is a sharp color! congrats!!
 
I believe the 26E doesnt have the convenience/security package which include (tonneau cover, security alarm, roof bars.) I bought them seperatly, except the security alarm. They said you cant hook up the alarm with the remote start. Congrats on the new pat, get some pics up for us (then you can show me how to do it). Welcome, and ENJOY!
 
Red is the color hope you enjoy yours as much as I am mine.
 
When I ordered my baby they told me that you cant hook up the Remote start and the Alarm together. So I worked in the Remote Start for free!!! Let me know if they tell you differently, I will be pissed. I would much rather have the starter than the alarm because crime is low and the temps are lower here.
 
Mucho Congrats CindyC!

It's always great to hear about someone buying a new Patriot and joining our beloved ranks, but it's a BONUS to hear that these same forums somehow helped in the decision-making process!:smiley_thumbs_up:
Hopefully we'll learn from each other, which is one of the strong points of these forums.
And I'll echo the other posters here: We can't wait to see some pics of this shiny new red toy!!:D
