They had it shipped to Hawaii. They collected Hawaii sales tax, and then had to send a check back because evidently they are required to collect the tax. I discussed it for a while with Julius, it was a bit convoluted, but I end up even.
Hoping to get to Hawaii one day, but we'll see. Enjoy your time there!
No, did not pay Hawaii destination, although I think this may be a mistake on their end. They originally had me pay Maryland destination and they changed the destination with FCA after it was ordered.
This is my third tour here, my two previous were back to back (Jarvis, Sector). Love it here, probably will retire on the island and stay here!@DadWagon, fellow Coastie here!
I'm really curious about your shipping situation as well. I got a quote from Criswell but I'm in Louisiana. I'd fly there and drive it back if it's worth it, but if shipping is an option and isn't stupid expensive, I may go that route. What was their doc fee? So far LA dealers have been pretty unresponsive.
Also, I think it was you who mentioned on another thread that Navy Federal offers lower rates for senior enlisted. Was it lower than their rates advertised online? I was planning to use USAA but may go with Navy Federal if they can beat it. With excellent credit, USAA is at 3.14 right now if you use their car buying service (I already signed up) and finance through them.
300 Maryland doc fee, that’s it. Hit up Julius, he’s the best. He’s busy but I’m definitely satisfied. Seems like a great dude.
That's an amazing deal! Patrick is who sent me a quote from there, but both of them are highly recommended on here. I'll definitely ask him about shipping it down to me then since it didn't cost you anything extra. I didn't even think that would be an option, but if so, it's likely a done deal for me.
From the sounds of it they recommend a shipping company and you pay for the shipping on your own terms but the destination from factory is to the dealership you purchased with. I called and talked to Pat and that's what he said.
Hmmm. Okay. I’ll be calling them soon. Have you priced out shipping with a company they recommended? I wonder how you’d be covered if something happened while it was in transit with some other company. My guess is that would be worked out with the company.
I haven't priced anything out yet, no. I have looked at Jay's order guide for the 2020's though, but don't know much more about each individual dealer fees/doc fees etc.Hmmm. Okay.

I just went to my local dealer to test drive a 2.0 Turbo and figured I’d have them give me a quote since I was there anyway. I was totally transparent with the salesman and told him I already had a quote at 8% under invoice. He ran the numbers for me and came back all excited, telling me they could match it. Then he presented me an offer at 8% below MSRP. When I told him that was MSRP and I was talking invoice, he left, cane back a few minutes later and said “we’ll, that’s our invoice.” Then he tried to BS me with other bad info and told me Criswell would charge me an extra $3K when I went to pick it up. He also kept talking only to my husband even though my husband was quiet and kept telling him it was my Jeep and my deal.
I thanked him for his time and left.
This is why people don’t trust car salesmen!
