Jewtoys Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Think we are going to do a Limited Diesel with towing and Luxury Group II package. We get a nice hookup with Ohio Health. Just hammering out details and finding the car, I guess diesel in red is pretty rare. We have a Vin but they would have to do a dealer trade. Although we are considering a gas Overland, she is not real happy with the noisy diesel. New Diesel are pretty silent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 You can when you drive a gas one for a couple hours then hop right in a diesel one 5 min later. On a side note looks like we might pull the trigger and order a 2015 Overland Diesel. Should be a pretty sweet family rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Well fuck me, finally got the wife on board to upgrade to the Overland EcoDiesel and pull the trigger. Handed over some $$ and order sheet. Had to wait a week for the dealer to place it's monthly allotment. Get a call back from the salesman, apparently there is a shortage of red paint (The wife must have Deep Cherry Red Paint) and they will be unable to place the order until late Feb. Apparently some plant that Chrysler USED to own just down the street in Detroit was sold to the Japanese when they were in trouble and the Japanese took all the equipment back to Japan. So Chrysler has to wait to get paint from this company and they are shutting down to update the plant. Can't believe we want to hand this company $50k+ and they can't do anything until February. Nobody else makes red paint? When did the automotive industry get so difficult? (I know globalization) Can't find a 2014 with the options we want either, DCR diesel, Tech package, Entertainment package, Quadra-DriveII and Block heater. Sigh, I hate shopping for cars with the wife involved. Now she is looking to bail, and wanting to go look at an Audi Q5. Just venting fellas, she's taking years off my life.

SpaceGhost Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 So the only colors Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep are making right now are White, Black, Granite, and Billet. I've read some folks having the same issues ordering Challengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRTurbo04 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 And no dealers in the usa has this model and options you want on there lot? Dealer checked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yep, nationwide search, it also depends if that dealer would give the vehicle up, or take a dealer trade. Not many Red Diesel Overlands were made. And most were made with beige interior and with kids we want black leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 That's shitty. Finally go through all that, make up your minds, then nothing. Arghh!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 That sucks. I hadn't heard about this so I will put out some feelers. I can't believe that with the Charger and Challenger that we would be short on red. The last time I heard of this happening was after the tsunami in Japan, sine most red paint comes from there. And yea, it is believable that there isn't another one in the US because that's a pretty specific build and Grand Cherokees are selling pretty quickly.

Mallard Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Let me know what you find out. Wife is not happy, and you know how the saying goes, Happy wife happy life. Yeah, I hear ya. The sad thing is that certain paint pigments only come from that part of the world and if the paint supplier is shutting down to renovate then everyone is pretty much SOL. A dealership sales guy told me: " Not just Red, ALL colors are on hold until Q1 2015, except for Silver, Black, White and Granite." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yeah that is what I heard and billet and silver are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Happy husband = food on the table and happy wife, or else. ^Correct. Unless of course, your wife is the breadwinner, and you have to take orders. http://i.imgur.com/O64uxdc.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
