Hello fellow Winnipegers!

Haven't seen too many Cherokee's on the road yet here in the city. Patiently waiting for my Cherokee to be built. Anyone else here yet from Winnipeg?

I 'm waiting some what patiently for mine, I talked to the dealer Thursday still in D status.
Purchased 12 /5 /13 . Ordered first day eligible 1/6/14,and if it gets built soon I'm probably looking at least six more weeks. I thought mine would be the first one in town but I guess Waverley has more clout.

I bought it at Winnipeg Dodge, and my sale agent was James Cook a good guy to deal with. I order back in December but started shopping some time in November. There wasn't much of a demand for the model then. I negotiated what I thought was a good deal at the time. Right now with the demand their having trouble getting stock in that they could move easily. The ones sitting on the lots are the4x2 not much demand for our kind of winter. Go see James Cook and tell him I referred him to you ( he' ll probably start to tremble ). I be honest I don't think I could get the same deal today. The dealers can't keep the limits or trail hawks in long enough to even let shoppers test drive drive them. I' ll promises to show you how much I paid after you purchase. Good luck with you're negotiations.

I ordered from Winnipeg Dodge Jeep Ram, the one thats in the auto mall at the end of portage. Sadly, its only in D status, has been for a few weeks with no date as of yet to be built.

Placed an order for a Blue Sport 4x4 last week. Dealer just gave me the von, so now waiting on Vin and build date.

Have any of you found a way to track the progress electronically or do you just wait for updates from the dealer?

Winnipeg Cherokee

Hello fellow Winnipegers!

Hi wpgguy,

Just got my Trailhawk here in Winnipeg, about a month ago. Got mine from Eastern Chrysler (Main St). Would you believe, it took 4 months to wait for mine to be delivered. And just when I signed the deal, found out there were 3 more Cherokee Trailhawk orders coming in soon to Winnipeg. Just be patient. :wink:
 
#19 ·
Congrats greatmind! Mine was shipped as of the 15th of April. Should things go as expected, it should be in my possession as of May 1st. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Happy day for me

Well after just a month from ordering the Cherokee I now have an estimated delivery date of June 8 (assuming all goes well). Be real nice if it moves faster :)
 
#24 ·
Well I'm from wpg but currently in Thompson and have mine on order, it's been over a month and I'm not even in d1 yet.... The anticipation sucks but there will be an extremely happy day for all of us eventually.

Canadian orders can be tracked on Jeepgarage.com through mots although the catch is 29.95 I didn't hesitate as I knew this wasn't going to be an overnighter by any means.

I've quit smoking a few months ago and this was my treat to myself!

Don't you love that option from jeep garage. :) Once I got my Vin, I subscribed and waited and waited for something. I think the money is well worth it (especially as I can have my phone monitor my status for me).

Ya it beats thinking about calling the dealer everyday, cause that doesn't look desperate at all.
Looks like we have the same order date! You are a lot further along with this process than I am, I'm happy for ya :)
Did yours ever say new order not yet scheduled? If so how long there?
That's where I am now
 
#27 ·
Had that status until the 3pm update today, was thinking the dealer gave me the wrong Vin :)

I figure (based on other posts) it sits in that state for about 30 days from when the order went into jeep, as my order was on a Thursday I figured the paper work would have been processed the following Monday or Tuesday... Then again I was trying to be patient and looking for rationale where there likely is none :)
 
#29 ·
Good luck to you as well, here's hoping we both will be on the road soon. ☺

Hey guys! Haven't posted here in a while, but I finally took possession of my Cherokee on Friday the 2nd. Been enjoying it ever since! Definitely made the right choice. Hopefully you guys aren't waiting too long, my wait time was roughly 2.5 months but absolutely worth it. I saw another black Cherokee driving towards me on Jubilee yesterday on my commute home from work. I flashed my lights to say hi, she smiled as she passed. :)

Got some good news today, dealer indicates my Cherokee is in the framing stage and scheduled for an end of May shipping which jives with MOTS delivery date . They also are still taking my trade in (2001 mazda tribute with a recently damaged front differential). So maybe early next month I'll be driving around [emoji3]

Nice! I'm surprised they're still taking your trade-in! My dealer gave me an awful price on my trade-in so I ended up selling privately for much more. Hope to see you on the street soon! Definitely seeing more and more Cherokee's out on the road now.

Now in KZ status

Rather cool, just checked today and my Cherokee is now in KZ status. Delivery Date is predicted to be June 9th so quite excited. Here's hopping it finds a train quickly. Really hope there are minimal ramp compare updates. :grin:

Shipping took roughly 2 weeks for me. Thankfully the train only made one stop (in Chicago), but because Winnipeg is the hub for most of Canada, the first pit stop it makes when it crosses the border is Winnipeg, so we're lucky. :)

Congrats.

I am finally starting to see some Cherokee's in my travels (had been seeing many Grands). I look forward to when I get to join the driving club myself. :)

Ordered mine May 6 from Gauthier on Regent. I've just sent an email to my sales guy asking about my VON or VIN that I see mentioned by other buyers. I'm kind of hoping my order doesn't get scheduled for building until after they switch over to the 2015 models. That way I could end up with a 2015 myself.

Welcome to the group. Using jeep garage to monitor your build is both a blessing and a curse. :wink: I enjoy seeing the progress up until it hits a standstill (such as now where the tracking info says it is still sitting in Bensenville, IL). Of course in all likely hood it is further along the rails but I'd love to see an update every couple hundred miles, rather than when the rail company decides to update the computer. :smile:
 
#43 ·
Quite excited today as the train has made a number of stops. At 1438 today my Cherokee arrived in Red Wing, MN so not too far from here ?

They say a watched pot never boils, but what about a watched Cherokee build and shipping?

At 1730 today my Cherokee left Glenwood, MN

Maybe it will land in winnipeg (not the dealer) tomorrow(fingers crossed).

Well I think I may be out on the road sometime this week. MOTS just put this update out for my Cherokee

Truck Dispatch 06/10/2014 02:17 PM EDT Winnipeg, MB (on truck to dealer)

I was hoping to get it today (dealer is open until 9) but guessing that likely will not be happening. I suppose I could drive out and look at it. :)

I am sitting at the dealership waiting for the window tint to be applied and then I should be leaving soon. Though probably another hour or so [emoji45]

How does it look!

I've been meaning to get window tint applied as well, however I had a bit of an accident in the rear and my tailgate is being replaced, so I need to wait for that to be done first. What percentage of tint did you go with?

Anyone get winter tires yet?

Bit the bullet and got some General Tire Altimax Arctic from Canadian Tire last night on sale. $815 installed on my current rims.

All the reviews I found were great, so there was no need for me to look at anything more expensive for what I need it for. All I do know is winter tires here are pretty much a must! I didn't go with steelies for rims since I have a sport and the stock rims aren't all that pretty. I've kept them for the winter tires, and I'll be putting my all-seasons on some nicer looking rims next season.

Just wondering if anyone else has found some good deals around town. Might be worth it to mention it here for other members looking.

Cheers!
