Tomorrow is the day that I get my new Patriot!

Tomorrow is the day! I pick up my '13 Patriot Sport 4x5 5 speed. My dealer got it from another local dealer. I am friends with the dealer I am getting it from, and decided I wanted to give him the business. They are good guys. Its a deep cherry red (was not my first choice), has A/C, though I could have done without, and was planning to have them get one without if the deal fell through on the red one. I added the max care warranty with $100 deductible and got a heck of a deal on it (matched the online prices), Mopar hitch and mopar trailer wiring, mopar oil cooler, and am working on getting the front tow hooks/facia added as well as the hood bug deflector, slush mats, and rear cargo tray. Looks like Mopar no longer sells the window ventshades, so I am looking at the AVS stick on ones, p/n 94359. Anyone have those on an '11-'14? My buddy said he recalls that they did not fit quite right, but does not remember why, etc. I figure I am going to run this thing into the ground, hence why I am having them add all of these options for me. Figured that I will want to equip it to my liking if I plan to keep it long term. Hope that I am happy with this Patriot. I have spent a LOT of time researching it, and have seen very few negative reviews. I think it'll serve me well and meet my needs for many years to come, at least I hope it will!:)

How much?
 
#3 ·
Bottom like is roughly $16,600. Not including the accessories, warranty, or payoff of the trade.

Seems like a good price. Does that include tax title and reg? What was the original sticker?

Only reason I ask is because I'm going to be finally pulling the trigger over the 4th of July weekend and just wondering how people are doing against MSRP.

Congrats! I've had mine for about three weeks and l love it!

Thanks! Just got a call, the tow hooks and facia won't be in until next week, so I will take it back then. Forgot that I am also having mud flaps installed as well. Yes, I'll take pics! How do I post them on here?

Alright, here are the accessories I added to it from the dealer (at a good price, too... I researched it):

Slush mats (Mopar)
Cargo tray (Mopar)
Trailer hitch (Mopar)
Engine oil cooler for towing (Mopar)
Wiring harness (Mopar)
Front bug deflector (Mopar... to be installed next week)
Front tow hooks (Mopar... to be installed next week)
Front fascia for tow hook equipped Pat (Mopar, again, installed next week)

I need to order the Ventshades. Nobody has them locally unfortunately.

Some stuff was on order. The issue was that they just got the Jeep this AM from another local dealer, and it was up in the air whether they would be able to get it or not. That's why the stuff was not ordered sooner. Either way, I'm happy. I'll have a lifetime Max Care warranty with a $100.00 deductible, so anything that fails I can get taken care of. I can work on pretty much anything... hell, I have rebuilt engines, and restored many cars. I did a bunch on my Liberty CRD when I had it (how I miss it!). It'll be nice not having to worry about stuff for once, and I'll be glad to get out of my Focus ST. Should have never traded the CRD for it. Oh well... live and learn I guess.

Nah, has the steelie 16's. That was the base price. MSRP was 19,995 I think.

[a deep cherry red (was not my first choice)][/quote]


The Cherry Red was not my first choice either - not my last either, thankfully. After living with it for a couple of months, I have grown to really like it. It, all shined up is a head turner. That is what has surprised me the most. Congratulations!

Okay - so I can't figure out how to do the quote thing . . .:confused:

Picked up the Patriot yesterday afternoon. Have roughly 175 miles on it already, and I really like it! It goes back this week to get the front tow hooks installed along with the fascia, and the front bug deflector. Last night I ordered the AVS ventshades online. My only complaint is there is a whistle when driving at highway speeds, coming from around the windshield, but I will address that concern when I take it in this week.

That is WAY below dealer invoice. I wonder how they did that?

Sticker: $15995
AC 2BA: $ 995
Destination: $995
Tags, etc: $150
Tax @ 6%: $1079
Total: $19,214
Minus $500 rebate

Total: $18,714,

Assuming 6% tax, you bought your vehicle for about $14,150 dollars. Again, way below dealer invoice for a 2014.

Remember: Military get $500 discount as do students (we got $500 more off of ours because my wife graduated within the past two years, and will be graduating nursing school soon...)

I got the military 500 off, not sure what the other mark offs was. We back and forth, then finally I told the sales guy I will drive it off the lot for 15K if he comes with 15k. He smiled and we had a deal. There was two us buying one white and my cherry red. I think the fact two us were buying that help a lot. My has about 1700 miles after three weeks and the Mike's has 2K. No problems to complain about. I will put about 25K a year on the Jeep.

I'll probably put 40-50k a year on mine, well at least for the next year I will....
