Paying off or paying cash for a vehicle right now is a pretty terrible financial decision with Series I savings bonds currently yielding 9.62 percent and auto loans still available at ~2.5 percent. You are literally losing $700 per year for every $10,000 you sink in your Jeep. That would be...

You aren't ever going to get ANYTHING from finance before you go to pick it up. I had to pull teeth to even give me what their offered interest rate would be for me before I showed up. Anyway, it is not true that you cannot set up your own financing ahead of time. Your Credit Union/Bank...

Maryland tags. Koons sat on it for the full month and I received the tags the exact day the Virginia temporary tags expired. Note that this isn’t a Maryland delay. The tags were FedEx‘d from Koons. I just about fell over when several weeks later I received a check for $19 from Koons for some...

The OP is just annoyed that price doesn't equal quality. I'd be really pissed too if I just spent $80K and it was already leaking fluids in a not easily identifiable manner after only 600 miles. You must have been in some pretty terrible lemons if leaking fluids after 600 miles seems normal to...

Ordering was great. Build delays are not Koons fault. Financing woes can be solved by bringing your own financing. Registration and Tag delays, while unprofessional and annoying, were within the legal limit and can be solved with patience.

I also received the email address for the tag manager and sent an email and never received a response. I ended up calling the Koons main number and asking for the "Tag Mananger" and was able to talk to them about it. They indicated they were going to submit the title/tag paperwork and FedEx my...

My original loan is at Navy Federal at 2.79% and I'm moving to Tower Federal CU at 2.49%. Tower won't move forward without a title number. I picked up my Jeep on May 7th, and called Koons earlier this week and they weren't planning on submitting my title/tags paperwork until yesterday June...

Good luck refinancing in the first 30 days after purchase. Koons plays this game where they don't submit the paperwork for the title until the LAST day that the State will allow them to submit the paperwork. For Maryland, that is 30 days after purchase. Without even a title number, you won't...

I see a troubling amount of people on these forums putting a large down payment on their Wranglers. While this might seem like it would cost less in the long run, it will not. The US Treasury Series I savings bonds return rate is 9.62%. With Credit Union auto loan rates in the 2.X% range...

I don't know how much you financed, but $50,000 at 5.49% for three months is ~$686.25 in interest. Best refinance that loan now before waiting for the "suggested" three months.

If it were me, I'd stay in Tyson's Corner near Koons and take the Metro to/from Tyson's Corner to the Smithsonian Station (Mall). I wouldn't bother driving in DC for sightseeing, especially with a shiny new Wrangler. Pro-tip...It will be 94 on Saturday and 91 on Sunday and likely humid as...

My understanding is that the Jeeps arrive at some kind of offsite storage lot. Of which I don’t know the location of it. So it probably isn’t a thing to spy the arrived Jeep at their cramped main location initially. Maybe someone more local knows about or works near Koons with more info.

Ordered in December. Yes, exactly the same to the penny.

Hah. It took me two days to peel that 4.5% 60 Month rate out of their mouths. They don't publish them because they want to evaluate you and figure out what they can screw you out of. I couldn't even get a final purchase price document out of them so I could get the exact check written by the...

I just picked mine up from there on Saturday. The only thing I will say is that the/my original plan of financing through their Chrysler Capital and get the $1000 deal (part of their 6% under invoice), and then refinancing later at a better rate might not work out so well when rates are rapidly...

Thanks! It is the wife's beach toy. I was just the one facilitating the dream. You'll have yours soon enough!

Well I'll bow to @Ratbert as the VIN master. I just had time to check on this one.

With some PMs between me and the OP @Spinnerkid we determined his weight in the VIN actually changed sometime from when it was officially assigned to when it was built. It went from an H (5001-6000 lbs) to a J (6001-7000 lbs). I got him the right VIN in the end and his Build Sheet and...

If your Jeep really is built, most likely you are puting a typo in your VIN or the URL. PM or post what you think your VIN is to Ratbert here and we can correct it if the serial is right. Also, you can double check your VIN with the dealer Or Jeep chat.

Finally. A miserably rainy pickup day. The Wife's ride. She probably won't see a rock in her life, but will see plenty of Ocean Sand and the top will be rolled back constantly.
