The main thing is price. My wife and I just found out we're expecting our first child in August. While we have paid cash for our last two vehicles and will only do that for now on (I don't like having debt), it's hard to justify almost 45k for a new JKUR when there are other "priorities". I'll probably wait a few years and see if I can get a used JKUR for a good price.

If I buy, I'll wanted every option anyway and since the first ones arriving at dealers will be loaded out, why order and wait months when I can get it very soon?

There's more than one thing holding me back but if I had to pick one it would be that my pile of $$ isn't big enough yet. My plan is to pay cash and I don't have enough yet. :crying: More slaving away in the salt mines while I stash those acorns.

Waiting on JT and Ecodiesel. If the JT does not turn out like I envision, then I will go JLU Rubi Diesel.

I have to drive one. But I still plan to hold out until I can get a JT with a diesel. Or at least wait to compare them before I drop that much cabbage.
Curious on this as well and by the time I am ready to buy the JT should be out. I assume the JT will have a higher base price than the JLU.

I haven't been 31 in a long time. I'm just a Greg Maddux fan.
Noted. My metaphor of living for the moment, one expressed by Wrangler owners I believe, at greater degrees than population at large, is not lost. : - )

Someone took my "bag of cash" response. For those who posted above who pay with cash, I applaud your control. I also hope that you already have a house, when you pay for new vehicles with cash.
