Heard back in late Spring that there would be a dealership in NVA ... rumor is true! Mile One Ineos Grenadier -
3141 Automobile Blvd. Silver Spring, MD 20904


Think I will be making a slight detour off 95 next week on my way home from RDS.
If this has been posted and I missed it then apologies for the repeat ... or perhaps perfect for newer members of the Forum.
All the best to everyone!

Definitely real :) and they should be fully open in the very near future (mayyyyybe by the end of next week?)

Seems like some very good folks there, as I've chatted with the GM and Sales manager already, they are aware of both the forum and the FB groups, as well as our monthly meet up. For familiar with the area, they will be in the previous Porsche building (now located between the giant new Porsche building and the Audi store); service will be around the corner using a few bays of the BMW service department.

I'll at least do a "drive by" 😆 to stake them out! I just did a search this past week and saw their map pin pop up. So they are super brand new! Cheers!

Is Maryland actually NVA though? 🤣
Live around the area and you would agree! Anything within 20 miles of the Beltway! In rush hour you may not get a mile in 20 minutes in some places🤣🤣 ! I have lived inside the Beltway and to get to work leaving at 8:30am would take me 20 min to go 5 miles!
Cheers!
PS - always great to see a reply as I love seeing another QR!!🥰

MileOne INEOS did a solid job delivering my 2024 Fieldmaster (Khalil (GM) and Marc (Mgr) were pleasant to deal with. Its still a PITA to drive all around the beltway (66; 495; 270; 370; and back to 95) to get there. NOT looking forward to any service appointments for this very reason. Hopeful INEOS opens a dealer here in Northern VA (Chantilly; Tysons; etc).

Good to hear that Mile One is getting favorable press, I am SERIOUSLY looking at picking an IG up, I currently drive a 2006 LC in the winter and have "wanted" to replace it for a while...Nothing wrong with the LC, just a "I want a new toy" moment. I hadn't heard about the IG until a few months ago...and that was when I drove by the dealership in Chicago...I am heading to Mile One on NYE to test drive one (if the government had shut down, it would have freed up my Monday and I was going then 🤣)...leaving the checkbook at home b/c the wife has to be convinced. Her response when I showed her the one they have staged in Tyson's Galleria last week..."why on earth would you need that...". My response..."just look at it".

Fingers crossed...

+1 on experience with them. They even delivered my Fieldmaster to my home in NoVa. I did have to return once to have them fix leaking safari windows but they did a top notch job. I also had to pick up the cross bars and light bar I ordered from them. They are good at communicating via text.

Wes,

Been in LCs since 1994. Looking to replace my 2003 over the past summer but did not like the way Toyota was going with the power train. Wife saw the IG commercial during the summer Olympics and said “I want that car”. I sort of stole the truck from her. Picked up a Brit Blue Fieldmaster when I was back in Connecticut in October, took delivery beginning of Nov. …downside is now I have to find the wife a new car. If your wife liked the LC she will love the IG. Only downside my wife sees is it is not super easy sliding in due to vehicle height, she is 5’6”. Tell your wife you will get her the rails we did and they are great.

You'll totally enjoy it....
Be ready to spend 5 minutes talking EVERYTIME you park or get gas. People are curious. And VERY complimentary!
The MileOne team (especially Frank in service) have been AMAZING!
Its a want.....not a need. 39 cars in 28 years of marriage, my wife stopped asking "why" or "do you need....." she knows the response is the same. "Nope, but its fun!"

Enjoy the ride.....
