I just want to say that if you are anywhere near Criswell in Gaithersburg, MD, you should give Leon Travis a call. I just drove ~9hrs each way to pick up my JLU Sahara and I could not have asked for an easier transaction. From the ordering process, updates and the pickup, everything went off without any problems.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me.

Happy New Year!

I had a terrible salesman (Julian) there, but overall it was a great experience for me in August 2019!

Did you finance through them?

Also what type of dealer fees did you pay?

I had my own financing and they only charged a $300 doc fee. Leon sent me the sales order with final pricing, so I just had my credit union cut me a check. They even put locking lug nuts on all 5 wheels at no additional cost. (I didn't ask for it and I've seen other dealers charge for it...)

Thanks.

I was quoted I think something like 149 for the wheel locks. I was also given a finance rate that undid about half of the overall discount and got me back to the same all-in price I could get in NY.

Always have finance lined up then see if they can beat it and who was this they can keep the wheel locks for that price.

I figured since they gave me an addl 1% off for financing through them it would be still be competitive. Came in close to 7% interest.

I have another call with them tomorrow. Will see what I can get.

7% is too much you can always refinance but let that be your final decision.

Very good back office operation that refunded me the over-charged Florida sales tax fees.

Their finance office was worthless and I got a PNC mail in check for 4%, but a credit union will get your down into the 3% range?

And I got the wheel locks for free and a full tank of gas, even thought I was only to get 4 gallons from the factory.

Criswell is the only way to go!

Yeah, I'm at about 2.9% at my credit union in NY.
