Welcome to the site, Rich! You're not too far away from me, I'm just one province to the east

I split your post off into it's own topic.

Be sure to keep us updated on your new Compass. I'm sure you'll love it.

Based on your description, it sounds like you ordered yours?? My wife just loved it so we had to buy the one off the lot, even thought it didn't have the Boston Acoustics system that I wanted. Oh well.

We got ours in August. Now it's at 3,000 km and it's running great. 8)

My new Jeep

Actually, I test drove one on the lot that didn't have all the bells and whistles, and the sales rep told me that he did have 2 more on the lot that had more features...I purchased one of those.

I just talked to the sales rep this afternoon, and when I pick it up, it will also have the window rain guards, and sunroom guard

Now comes the problem...
I 'might' have a choice between the blue and the green Jeep.
I am going to look at them both side by side tomorrow to make final choice.

 

[welshfyr]

OH! And they are throwing in the window/sunroof guards which is kinda kewl.
I have also decided to get the remote starter.

 

[welshfyr]

I put another 500 down on my jeep yesterday. Less than a month til pickup date now!
I took a picture of it, but can't put the pic on the photo page. s'ok though. It was snowing at the time, so it's not the greatest of pics.

Tomorrow is the day!!!

FINALLY!
I am picking up my JeepCompass TOMORROW!
I have to work all night, but that's fine.
I will offer to take over a few more patients so that my time flies by!

 

[BreatheJeeply]

Yay! Just in time for winter. You'll be impressed with how it handles in the snow.

 

[flybynight_x1]

Awesome!!!!

 

[welshfyr]

FINALLY!
This guy is a tired but very happy Jeep driver!
Now to post a pic of my jeep as it's already very dirty cause of the weather in Calgary!
Thankfully, I took a pic BEFORE I left the dealership!

I also want to get the remote starter, how much does it cost through chrysler? I wouldn't trust another brand or anything like that. My dad is so against it though, thinks it causes problems if it's not done through the factory. Any thoughts on this?

What is the purpose of the window/sunroof guards? I've seen them, not sure if I will need it....

Thanks!
