Hi All!
Ever since the Bikini JLU has been out, I've been dreaming of owning this Jeep. But I need a little help in the logistics of purchasing one; I've done so much reading and learning from everyone here, so I'm hoping this will help.
My current issue is that a Bikini JLU in my area, isn't quite so readily available. I think I've seen 3 or 4 total for sale since they've been released. So I'm coming to terms with the fact that in order to get the best deal possible, for the Jeep I want - I'm going to have to order it. But here lies my issue - I already own a JKU that I'm still making payments on, and financially I cannot afford 2 Jeeps until my JKU sells.
So I'm trying to figure out how to pull all of this off. Do I first start reaching out to dealers to get an idea of who I'm going to work with (I'm in Oregon, so I know likely it'll be either Kent, or someone in Seattle) and then list my JKU while I wait for my JLU to be delivered? How long on average does delivery take? Do I start looking for something on the lot, and hope a Bikini shows up, and try to sell my JKU before the Bikini sells and hopefully hammer out the details to my liking?
My biggest fears are having no Jeep or two Jeeps, for an extended period of time. If I don't have a vehicle for a week or two, it wouldn't be a major deal - but not having a vehicle for a month plus, would be problematic.
Thanks in advance!
