Came so close to buying a TH yesterday...

I actually just visited the dealership to check it out and feel the difference the shorter gears in the TH panned out.

I accidentally fell in love with a Silver TH in the process, got my kid's car seat in to ensure my wife the Renegade would work for us (with my buddy thumbs upping in approva). Went inside and got as far as talking all numbers.

I needed an aggressive number on the trade and was frank about it, but they seemed to think it was reasonable, if just a lot.

Basically, he came back $1,300 short of where I wanted him to be on the total deal and I had to walk.

I'm a car flipper. Easily and unemotionally navigate dealerships and tend to find my way and get what I want... But yesterday when he came back too far away, I felt like a middle schooler who just had his heart ripped out for the first time.

I'm Patrick and I've been Renegade-free for about 10 hours now. Do I get a chip for that?

Are you in America? If so you might have just posted the very first evidence of MySky TH on the first shipment.

Look closer at the photo, while it tricks you to thinking the black roof is MySky, it really is not, look at the center of the roof, it is smooth, with ribs, not MySky panels. The black roof is just for looks, with or without MySky.
No mysky. The black roof on the silver renegade just pops.

I would never have sought out a silver one, but I was blown away by how nice it looked with the red accents (and even the powdered blue on the tires...

It may go deeper than looks. The roof appeared to be coated in the same kind of way that car manufacturers "hide" b or c pillars to blend with glass. Would be interesting to see if it holds up better than body colored paint.
Well, then let the rollercoaster ride of emotions towards the Renegade continue.

I'm glad I got back to feeling that way about a car, but man, I forgot how much it sucks to not get your way when emotions are involved.

Here's to hoping I get a call back.
I am just frustrated with the lack of information. Renegades are at dealerships (clearly) and the website still says "Zero matching Inventory". I am just looking to see if it is something I will wait for. I will ONLY buy one with a MySky. If I test drive one without and like it, I will wait (but only for so long). There is absolutely NO information out there.

Digging around elsewhere online, it seems like the mysky's are depressingly far away. Europe doesn't even have it yet, right?
Right. At least in Spain, and I won't buy it without MySky. The winter pack is also missing in Spain, I wonder the reason.
Basically, he came back $1,300 short of where I wanted him to be on the total deal and I had to walk.
Suggest you try to sell your car first, you get the top dollar money for it and then go buy the Regegade.

This is probably what I'll end up doing.

My trade is a little rough around the edges, but I'm going to work on some of its issues and put it up for sale.

Just hope the TH I want is on a lot somewhere when I actually do sell it!
I'm sure you will end up with a Renegade at some time soon. You just need to find the right dealer at the right time who is willing to give you the price you want. Fingers crossed for ya.

Thanks. Just paid off my wife's '14 Cherokee today. Financially getting in shape for it.

Probably won't happen until May, though, realistically...

I just paid off my car..then it got rear ended and totaled :(..nice down payment for the renegade though >:D
My wife and I crunched some numbers today. I'm going to go back and try to get that TH on Tuesday. Gotta get 1% below invoice, though...
Was happily shocked at the CarMax offer I got on my "trade".

I'm going up to the dealership tonight to get that silver one... Stay tuned...
