I ordered my Jeep in The middle of December and it’s in D status meaning the paperwork is sitting on someone’s desk and it will be put together for the next run the dealer told me. Another dealer contacted me today and asked if I was still looking for a JLUR and I told them I ordered one and he sent me a window sticker with exactly everything I ordered even the color and giving me a $2,000 discount off the MSRP and it’s in transit meaning it will be there within the next two weeks (he thinks). The dealer I ordered from did not require a deposit and I have the bug to go with the other dealer. Any thoughts?

Do you have a good relationship with the first dealer that you want to maintain? Was it a hand-shake deal (a man of his word follows through)? If your configuration is easily sellable and the answer to the first two questions is "no", I say go for the new one. Otherwise, your word is your bond and have patience like so many others.

For those of you that may not know, when you custom order a Jeep the sticker says “Built Especiallly for (your name)”. I think it’s a pretty cool detail to wait for.

No the dealer is 2 hours away and when I went there they never called me back to order I had to follow up with them two times to get the order in.

That’s pretty cool. I have the bug but maybe I should wait that’s why I’m asking.

Well what are you waiting for?!? One dealer finds a Jeep they know you want vs one that isn’t even trying to sell you a vehicle which is the whole point of being a salesperson...

Did the dealer give u a quote on the powder coating? Thinking of doing the same actually
Why in the world would you pay your dealer for powder coating? Do some research. I'm sure there are quality shops in your area that will charge much less for higher quality work.

dont know if this one got posted, I saw the Rubicon from this dealer but here is a Sport!

I have to admit, the plastic bumper on the sport package looks a lot better than the Sahara plastic bumper. The trim that they add to the Sahara makes it look a bit more...i dunno...makes it stick out as more of a "hey look tupperware!"

I was just trying to find out how much do dealers charge so I could knock 40% off and have an idea about shops prices. I never go to dealers for stuff like that only for schedule maintenance while warranty is valid.

Those halogens look big and have to better than the JKs based on size alone. I really like the looks of them versus the HIDs. I'm probably in the minority with that opinion, but the halogens just look more Jeep. It's a cleaner look whereas the HIDs make the jeep a little too futuristic for my taste.

The base wheels on the sport granite crystal don't look as bad as other pics/videos. Seems like color really matters on the JL with regards to wheels, lights, etc. etc.

$500--and it's not the dealer doing it. They will be having another shop in town do the work once the Jeep arrives.
