You guys aren’t going to get anywhere lol. We all know you’re right.

 

Ha. Welcome to Car Chat.

Just out of curiosity, since damaged Jeep-production and production-level is the topic here, you've owned two JGCs.....did you buy or lease them right of the lot, or order them special from the factory in the colors/options you wanted?

 

I buy off the lot. I have never ordered a car. If I was buying a car to keep forever I might be interested in that, but I can always find something that will work for 3 years on a lot somewhere.

That’s a big reason why I didn’t get a 750, I would have had to order it and I didn’t want to wait. Too many moving parts in the deal.

Chrysler won’t sell these cars, they’re insured, they’ll scrap them and move on

 

Jeep is selling about 18k Grand Cherokees each month (210,000 in '20) they have to store their inventory someplace until it's shipped out to dealers. Pretty common practice.

 

god forbid they have to wait for enough vehicles to fill up a train and *gasp* have to use a storage lot in the meantime

 

Even though most of them probably can't be sold or leased, there are also other options, like I said earlier......they don't necessary have to be scrapped.

 

The only way they can make sure that they don't wind up on the road is to scrap them

 

Did people really think Jeep would pull a fast one and try to sell these when they get an insurance pay out? It become's insurances property then

 

No one thinking logically no lol

 

Auto manufacturers don't always think logically. That sometimes gets them into trouble.

 

In this case, yeah........

 

maybe they could salvage some parts at least? Seems reasonable.

 

We wont see those parts here, they might sell them in other parts of the world. Hell the whole vehicles might get sold down in the Caribbean or in Mexico etc.

 

it belongs to the insurance company after this, its insurances problem, then coparts problem

 

Darn, send some of this rain down to Cali! Or not....
