Games are afoot, they're playing games. Plus, that's the first I've heard of a $500 incentive from Jeep on the JL.

Now they’re texting with offers. I can’t even describe how mad I am right now. They should have been willing to deal when I said I was walking.

I HATE when dealers let you walk and then bug you night and day with offers! I don't understand the games they play at all. Why can't we just be up front about everything??

I see on the Order Spreadsheet that a few Wranglers were delivered to dealers despite not having an ETA update from Toledo. Im in the same boat right now, which gives me hope that my JL might be here any day despite there not being an ETA.

Make them an offer. If they will do better than your current offer, run with it. Thats just business

Sounds like a reputable joint... just to play devil's advocate (to your wondering about the games), I'll throw out there the so-called Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity". My impression based on (HIGHLY limited) experience with dealers is that there is a ton of pressure to sell, sales are "commoditized" and things fall through the cracks - it's the "throw $hit against the wall and see what sticks" mentality. Not trying to generalize here, just expressing what I've seen in what is, again, my HIGHLY limited experience.
Just my thinking - either they are so clueless that they don't track their own pipeline, or they are conniving. Also, just because they say "your order", doesn't mean it's actually yours - it could be just a tactic to get you into the door to sell you a "almost like yours" build. Do you have a VIN from the original order? Could try running it via sticker generator to see if it was actually built. If it is indeed your build and they are willing to come down to what the other dealer agreed on - maybe it's worth considering as a one-time transaction (I'd just never go back to this dealership afterwards). There are clearly delays on manuals, so you do have a talking point on canceling the other order.

It may be business but why cut out the dealer who treated you well to give the business to the shady one? I would walk on principle alone. So what are they going to do if there's an issue with the vehicle, treat you right or make excuses? I value the dealer relationship more than simply one transaction.

That's true, see what they'll offer you. If you can get more, then get it! But if you want him to shut up and leave your alone, tell him that the other dealer is giving you 5% under, can you match it? Either he can't and he'll stop calling or he'll call you back and say yes.
