I am curious as to how many of us on here simply purchased our Jeeps off the lot rather than going through the ordering system? I see most of us here are talking about and waiting on ordered Jeeps.

My original plan was to order a Firecracker Red Sport S with the 2.0 but I had to accelerate my plans and got a V-6 Sahara off the lot.

I tell you what, if I could find one with the options I wanted, i'd gladly buy off the lot. Not many dual top with color matched tops out there. This waiting is killing me! I ordered a billet silver, but would be ok with white, granite, or red...I ordered 2/19, so I hope its not too much longer.

I was planning on ordering though I found one on the lot just about the way I was planning on ordering. The only concession I made was buying the upgraded Rubicon wheels; I wouldn't have ordered them. Overall, selecting off the lot worked out well and was able to purchased for 5% below invoice.

I was planning on ordering, but found the one I was looking for. Sacrificed cold weather, but got the upgraded granite crystal wheels. Overall I'm very happy, I don't have the most patience and I rarely use heated seats anyway.

Ordered on 12/18/17, picked up on 2/06/18. It got held up a bit in the build process and at the rail yard. The build process has streamlined and sped up considerably since then. I wanted a specific build based upon past experiences with my JK and a wish list of items that I thought wouldn't be on the lot for quite some time. Plus I was pretty pumped about the new JL. i had also ordered my JK so was familiar with and appreciated the process. it's a good feeling to know your Jeep was built just for you.

I am simply going to get a purchase unit from a dealer that will have to locate my desired vehicle. You can not always find exactly what you want like you would with a order unit but my dealer has gotten pretty darn close.

I had the same train of thought for mine, I just wish the transmission held up better in my trade vehicle. Then I'd be waiting on my order. :)

Had to build, since the manual is so rare for dealers to keep in stock. Still haven’t seen one to this day.
There were 2 or 3 up here when I got my Jeep. Far outnumbered by the Autos though.

That was my issue, there were only about 3 in 100 mile radius of me when I was looking. Luckily one of them was the one I ended up with.

Same here. Manual. Premium soft top. Sting-gray.

Ive waited 5 years so I'm getting exactly what i want.


I would much rather buy off the lot but it wasn't going to happen.
