I don't wanna say Canadian jeepers get shafted, because we can still get the same jeeps/features, but we dont get as much as our bretheren to the south. A lot of the things like trail rides or schools put on by jeep is a US only thing, there are no Canadian trail badges, etc...Yea, I didn't see that at first. I just quickly read, Complimentary Maintenance for a Limited Time, and thought it was for all Jeeps in Canada
It's totally not fair!
Actually, diesel is much cheaper than petrol in Quebec right now. I forgot to mention.Solid. It’s a Fiat motor with a short and mixed history - look it up. I wouldn't touch it with a stick. I will never buy another diesel, own a MB 3.0. Diesel fuel is more expensive now, for starters. The rather old saying of getting better gas mileage is countered by the more expensive fuel. However - the real problem is one freak’n emissions repair will immediately wipe out any savings you convinced yourself you were getting, if not your entire bank account. Will be interesting to see what people say about these motors here on this forum when they start reaching 60k+ miles in large numbers.
Part of the problem is Canada’s sparsely populated geography.I don't wanna say Canadian jeepers get shafted, because we can still get the same jeeps/features, but we dont get as much as our bretheren to the south.

C'est la vie *shrug*
How long do you figure before you recover the roughly $6k up front difference in price?Actually, diesel is much cheaper than petrol in Quebec right now. I forgot to mention.
Then i'll say it: we get shafted.I don't wanna say Canadian jeepers get shafted, because we can still get the same jeeps/features, but we dont get as much as our bretheren to the south.

Already said a couple of times in this thread I walked away from the deal.I have been in sales for 20 years. One day, I may actually make a special offer that is NOT in my favour, but in fact, is worse for me. I may also win the lottery and date Kate Upton ... could happen.
While I am not saying this is a bad deal, it is obviously a good one for your dealership. Be wide awake walking into this one.
It's actually 9k $CAN, here in Quebec.How long do you figure before you recover the roughly $6k up front difference in price?
That 3,5 gallons of DEF. How much does it cost?The Ecodiesel is now in its 3rdgeneration, and its a pretty solid platform. For your commute and use it would be great. I’ve driven diesel pickup’s for decades and my current Ecodiesel is the best of the lot, great power, a 4wd quad cab truck that’ll give 31+ (US) on the highway all day long. Oil change every 10 k miles, I use about 3.5 gallons pump DEF every 4500-5k miles ( in normal use) slightly more when towing. Will deliver a solid 16 mpg pulling our Lance TT. I’d take the diesel in a heartbeat at the same price...
Canadian tire advertises it at 19.99 for 9.5L just to give you an idea but the price is not the only issue the problem also lies in the fact you almost have to carry one around (it may be more available everywhere now though) because if the jeep engine is similar to the RAM cummins I had, if you run out of DEF, it'll go into into Limp mode and then your SoL so you HAVE to make sure you calculate your DEF and never run it in the lower portion of the DEF tank so as to risk running out or always fill up the DEF regularly even when its half tank etc. I used to carry a jug in the back of my RAM for this in case I was going to a remote town area where there may not be any readily available at stations etc. Diesel owners can chime in since I'm totally unaware at what rate the jeep diesel consumes DEF etc compared to my cummins as I didn't et the diesel this time.That 3,5 gallons of DEF. How much does it cost?
