Well anyone seen my Rengade TH Anvil fully loaded? Just talked to the sales manager and he spoke with Chrysler about my order being in JB since June and they said it maybe on a boat but they were unsure. I am sure someone is enjoying her driving around off the beaten path... In all honosty it is silly nobody at FCA or the dealership has any idea where it is. The manager said he will keep contacting them daily and emailing me updates. We got a VON when we placed our order Apirl 29th and got JB the same time as those who go theirs back end of June. Well now we play the extreme waiting game...

You should have a VIN now that you are in JB status. Have you tried chatting with Jeep online chat for your status? Also another forum "JeepGarage" you can go on & buy a $30 premiere membership & they check & update your status about 3x/day......

 

[smithk1944]

No I have not and does the updates apply to Canada since they seem to forget about us on most things.

Not sure if all coming into Canada are landing in Halifax?
Mine was in JB for over three weeks...then went new stats only when reached Halifax (something like KZKT?)
Then from Halifax to Concord ON, then to dealer in Stoney Creek ON.
Just picked it up last night.
Perhaps if going to BC it goes around Panama and up to BC directly. I would think if coming to Halifax would have been on same boat as mine, and at least your status would have changed.

Or drug cartal is enjoying my new ride through Panama... Either way thank you all I emailed FCACanada and hope it is here soon.

Dealer stock

I was able to find a limited 4x4 at me dealer. Actually they got it from another dealer. They had 2 TH's a Lattitude and a sport on the lot, but I really wanted leather. if the TH had had leather I would have bought it.
My Limited is Red and really turns a lot of heads.:ReneBlueWave:

Well after reviewing all kinds of FCA documents and reading on the web I am confused on how and when my TH is supposed to come. FCA stated that they are doing 13 day trans Atlantic drop offs at Baltimore and Halifax as the major ports. There is no mention of any west coast ports which makes me conclude they are either trucking them or train delivering them to the west. I looked up the trains from Halifax to Vancouver for car transport and they state it takes 14 days so trucking may take longer then that. Now all I have to determine is if/when the TH landed in Halifax and if it is enroute via train or truck. Well so far thinking a July 24th delivery date.

There is no mention of any west coast ports which makes me conclude they are either trucking them or train delivering them to the west.

Actually, there are a few articles about Fiat using the Port of San Diego for US West Coast deliveries. Not sure about Canadian deliveries, sorry. Pasha has the contract at the port for receiving, & Grimaldi has the worldwide contract for Fiat's shipping... and NYK has the subcontract for Fiat's incoming stuff to San Diego. Confused enough yet? It seems that the automobile cargo ship currently in port at SD is subcontracted to NYK, and came from Antwerp (and other European ports), where Fiat has a huge aggregation facility for vehicles destined throughout the world.

My TH has been stuck in Antwerp since 5/28 (it was built on 5/9 or 5/8)... everytime I get antsy, I glean more details from others plus my own research. By the time my TH arrives, I should have enough information & experience to be an auto shipping clerk.

The detailed status should normally show which port your Jeep will be arriving at. My salesman mistakenly told me my Jeep was already in San Diego because of this, but they just add the San Diego port info even thought it's still in JB. Mine has been JB since June 13th - hoping any day now it will ship, although there have been other cases where people have had their Jeep stay in JB until it reached the US. So I guess it's hard to tell for sure!

 

[smithk1944]

Well maybe it will arrive via train from San Diego unless there a boat destined for the port in Vancouver. Have not asked my sales manager for the status update this week as been trying to limit myself to an update bi-weekly to add to the excitment.

 

[smithk1944]

Well another dealership that I had keeping a look out for any TH called me today saying they got in their first Renegade North editions... Here is to wishful thinking my dealership has ours coming in a couple days.

 

[smithk1944]

Well our dealership is awesome, we stopped in to chat about the current situation last night and the sales manager said if we come to final price by Saturday they will sell me their new Trailhawk until ours comes in (we would be paying for the one as if it was ours so all the options, etc.). When ours comes in we just do a straight trade (he would resell it used as a demo model as he does not care how many km it has on it)... Theirs is a base TH and ours is fully loaded so now just awaiting on them getting back to us if my counter offer is any good.

Bah the sales manager went back on his word and instead we put all the final paperwork together. We got it for 42000 all in with a 22000 trade in on the Rubi for a final payment of 10000 for a fully loaded TH. Now we are just waiting on delivery as he is worried where it is and that is why he retracted selling us the base model then trading it. He has called the FCA depot in Calgary and they have nothing to tell him since it is still JB and if it is not in by the end of September he suggests we go confront FCA in Ontario. So tired of waiting since end of April :crying:
