I have taken my first step toward a new Patriot. I have offically begun the process of selling my Dakota. It will be on autotrader.com sometime tomorrow if not sooner. Hopefully it will sell fairly easily. I think I will have to order what I want and then wait. Hopefully DCX will realize they might as well just build special orders (direct for customers not dealers) because then they won't have to worry about a glut of inventory. Hope to be in a new vehicle by March (better to expect to be waiting a long time, then if it gets in earlier great, when expected fine, later not so bad). Just like taking tests, if you expect to fail then anything other than failure is a great success, even failure is a success right?
