- '21 JLUR, Hydro Blue
Perfect reply - so when I bought my '07 JKU, there was no question, my first car was a '89 XJ, and I always wanted a TJ. I thought the JKU was a perfect match and I knew I wanted red.
15 years - the two colors I've seen that I really liked - Deep Water Blue (the more true blue from around '14 I think) and Sarge Green. I went with Hydro Blue because in person with a black top it was exactly what I want. For whatever reason, I think it's the metallic in the paint, I've second guessed it in pictures, and my wife of course, said she liked the green better. Ha, so here I am..........sticking with my first choice. The other choice on the JKU I regret is by her opinion too, she wanted me to get an automatic so she could drive if need be. 180k miles, and she's driven it maybe 25 of those. I'm getting a manual on this one.
Thanks for helping me talk myself off the ledge.

Yeah, they told me that two days ago and I didn't believe them, since Walter said he didn't think it was there yet, but they are swamped with dozens of Jeeps being delivered. I checked JC again today and they confirmed it's there. I can't get there until the 9th.

Same, my White JLUR XR is there. Can't go until the 7th. Daniel said he wouldn't be able to have it ready until next week anyway. I can officially say, "Less than a week". Flying in, driving back.Yeah, they told me that two days ago and I didn't believe them, since Walter said he didn't think it was there yet, but they are swamped with dozens of Jeeps being delivered.

This is the way mine will be going back to Iowa. I might have a Subaru on there on the way down. Depends on what $$ Walter comes up with today, for a trade.

Weekly update for my 8/14 order: "I am seeing your vehicle is in the shipping stage, in transit to your selling dealership. Your delivery to dealership ETA window is: 10/05/2021 - 10/19/2021 it will not be long until the vehicle is delivered to your selling dealership. In this case we can suggest checking back end of week for an update on your order, and staying in touch with your selling dealership"

I'm hoping the trucking issue is clearing up, but if you are flying, consider waiting to book your flight(s). Its a double edged sword, if you book early you save money, but you may have to rebook.
They told me the same thing (in transit) literally a month before it actual came. They revised the date 4 times. I rebooked 3 airfare times then finally cancelled and waited til it showed up and had to pay double for my flight.

I remember seeing a bit of your story, and how long it took, and that even when it gets delivered it still takes a bit at Gupton for them to process it all. Definitely gonna heed your advice and wait until I have more concrete info to book.

I'm sure people get tired of my posts, but they can always just scroll on by. I'm just trying to help others here as they have helped me.
On Guptons, I'm pretty sure they will stop unless people develop some patience.
They are a tiny dealership processing massive amounts of rigs for very slim margins.
Can you imagine getting hundreds of emails and calls from angry and/or impatient people when the build/ship delays are totally out of your control and you are killing yourself already, working 10-12 hour days and on your days off getting the units ready to deliver. It would wear on you over time.
I know I may come off as a shill or Gupton fan boy, but honestly, its just the thought of having to buy a vehicle the usual way again makes me half sick.
