Is this your first jeep? They make 58670 limited editions a year (Call of Duty, 75th, oscar mike, mickey mouse, full moon, Nancy Pelosi bowel movement, etc,) they are not worth diddly....as a matter of fact, they generally depreciate the hardest because people dont want them, and only buy them...
If you give it a little time, you will see these things sell for a SOLID 10K+ lower than sticker. These trucks don't appeal to MOST truck buyers. They mostly appeal to jeep fans. The v6 is meh (IMHO, a v6 in a truck is pretty useless unless it has 2 snails) the reliability of FCA products is...
Wow, that sucks. Hopefully you get it worked out. Would appreciate you posting up your ongoing results. For me, it's more like $6k back, because on top of the $3075, I'm gonna want my $3000 back for the 120k extended warranty I purchased for it as well.
Have you noticed any negatives with the new flash? While I wouldn't mind a 3k check, I don't want it at the expense of stellar reliability that I've had with my 14 GCD. Some reports say it runs hotter, etc, just don't want any issues before I take the plunge.
Its a financial decision for them. If some shmo pays the 20K...on average they probably make like what, $300 a vehicle? They would have to sell 50+ vehicles to make this 20K up, or fleece one chump into one 20K pure profit payment. Good scam they got goin.
With the GC it's the tuning. Small turbos spool instantly so you get the instant torque...the GC lag is a software issue. The GDE tune gets rid of the "lag" and it's fantastic. Also, most people complain about the GC lag because they don't realize the default of the vehicle is to be in ECO...
