Americas Would you buy a Grenadier if the closest dealer was 250 miles away?

Seems like the grenadier is really taking off in the states, more so than Europe perhaps

Much more than Europe

 

[angstorms]

The paths to my Dealer, I will say the truck has been great to use down in Southwest Colorado and running over to Moab. as people say it personal if you want to deal this class of distance. But I now Red Noland there for me, also will help me with local shop when needed.

In Europe you don't need a 4x4, most people get tot their destination without a 4x4.-
And in some countries the taxes are so extremely high for such a car (France, Holland, ...) that only very rich people want to buy it.
Even without "additional taxes", the Grenadier is an expensive car.

But indeed, the penalties for buying a very polluting car are much higher in Europe than in the USA.

And ... the USA is a big and rich country (with a lot of poverty too) with still some quite harsh places to reach.

The Grenadier is indeed a car not intended for mall crawling

I may have a record here: 1467 km / 911 miles as the crow flies. And 90% of that is sea

Return trip takes one week and costs around 1000 €. Because of this I have been waiting for a year before I made a decision to buy one. But just now it seems that there will be soon a service location on same island, Tenerife, of at least on the next one, Gran Canaria, which is still within reasonable distance.

I have a two hour journey to the dealership I use but would much prefer to use a local Independant 4x4 garage. Hopefully one day that will be a possibility
In the U.K. with current sales figures we will end up with less dealerships, as some may end up as just Grenadier service centres. The current amount of sales cannot support the amount of dealerships/sales centres that we have.

It depends on if you are an impatient high maintenance kind of person (don’t do it) or a more chilled go with the flow kind of person (go for it).

My dealer was 590 miles from my principal residence and 2,000 miles from my secondary resudence. There are other dealers only 1000 miles from my secondary residence so I guess there's that.

F-YEAH!! And we were 400 miles from the closest dealer when we purchased.

Would you buy a Grenadier if the closes dealer was 250 miles away?

Hell yes, particularly considering when I bought mine I drove 450 miles from San Francisco to Pasadena to buy mine.

I just bought mine 2 days ago, I’m in Ohio and the closest dealer now is Chicago or Philadelphia, although it looks like Columbus Ohio is in the works, (still 2 hours from me , but I can live with that!). Just hoping for the best!

 

[C64_forever]

I think there is a dealer In Dublin

That's Columbus, and it's not open yet.

 

[HOF-Ineos]

Just found out the dealer in Columbus Ohio is Crown, not MAG (although its right next door), and they're are supposed to be opening tomorrow, November 15th.

I think the location of the dealer is less of an issue than parts... The service of the Grenadier is super straightforward and can be done and any decent shop or by yourself...
