Cost-savings??? It's a Jeep that they're charging $60,000 for??? I don't see any cost savings being passed along to the consumers...

No one said FCA would pass that along to us customers. And, surely you didnā€™t actually pay $60k, right?

I love that people pay $60k for these things so people think I paid anywhere near that

Hell no, I didn't even pay $50K for mine, even with taxes and fees... But sticker price on some of these things is over $60,000 if you get all the fancy doo-dad options, that are mostly pointless for normal people.

Youā€™re right that they get crazy expensive when optioned up, and I guess some people do pay it. I donā€™t like the misconception that they cost that much. I drive into the woods and the first response is, ā€œYou canā€™t hide money.ā€ I usually respond with something like ā€œYeah, Iā€™ve got about $5,000 invested in mine so far. How much do you have in your RZR and F250?ā€

I've heard that from everyone I know, or that's seen it, since I bought mine... First thing everyone always says... "Damn! You can't hide money..."

I always want to say..."Yeah, well, you make 5x (or more) what I do, and everything you own is paid-for, you pay cash for whatever you want, you have tractors, a $15,000 brand new side-x-side, zero-turn mowers, 4wheelers, you own land, etc... All your paychecks go to retirement and savings other than the few monthly bills you have, I don't even have a retirement anymore (lost that 4 years ago when I got unexpectedly laid-off my job of 12 years with no warning or notice)... But I'm the one with money??? No, I'm the one with debt..."

I love how a video on the technology and advancement in Jeep assembly turns in a complain fest about what they cost, but most people on here have either bought that vehicle or are considering it.

How many things in your life have you bought because you wanted, even though you didnā€™t feel the cost of it was justified? And donā€™t say ā€œnoneā€, because we all KNOW thatā€™s a damn lie...Everyone has.

I found it interesting that they said they expected to produce 110k bodies per year. I don't think the sales have been anywhere near that, have they?
