I'm still not sure how it happened, I wasn't even wanting to get a new ride (really). I was looking at the new 2017 Hard Rocks on line and just for fun I thought I would build one - doesn't cost anything right. After, I clicked the check local inventory and there was one that had 13 of my 14 choices at the closest dealer. I clicked the "see the vehicle on the dealer website" button and they had it listed for $5,000 less than the build quote! I was looking to see which option it didn't have and I couldn't figure which it was but I noticed the dealer had a special for and additional $3,000 off the sales price- this is less than the MSRP base price for a Hard Rock! I started looking harder at it as the picture wasn't a Hard Rock, not even a Rubicon. BUT all the wording said Hard Rock package. I was talking with my wife over lunch and, since we were so close, I would like to see it, just because. The dealer said that he doesn't even have a regular Rubicon for that price so there has to be some error. He went to look for it and couldn't even find it. He had to look it up on the computer as I had the VIN. As it turns out it is a 2017 Hard Rock for less than the MSRP base price and it includes destination at that price. Again, still not sure how this happened, but there I was signing paperwork. OTD for less than the build price including doc and sales tax!
The down side is it is still on the train from Ohio and should be here in a week or so. Turns out the train will go through town but won't stop. It has to go to California and the will trucked back to here - go figure. I can wait, I hope. I started a build list as I don't want to buy anything just in case.
As I put together the build list, one question I have (for now) is for a stereo head replacement. Even on the dream build that started all of this I didn't do an upgrade here. I do want to add front and rear cameras - don't have any now - but I don't want/need a nav system. Does anyone have any suggestions to check out? I would like plug in play and the new rig will have the U Connect.
I'll post pics and updates as I can
