Yeah, low new stock does cause many dealers to decrease their normal discounts, classic supply and demand. Even in good times some dealers do not discount off of MSRP, they must get a lot of customers that think the sticker is the price they have to pay. And as you have read in many posts they...
Your dealer should have access to the delivery tracking system that shows actual time of check points and estimated arrival time. Depending on if it is going by truck or rail it will show when it was loaded, when it hits different RFID points (for rail), when it hits the rail drop points, when...
This happens at times for various reasons, inspection problems, parts backordered, transportation problems are most common. To my knowledge even the dealers don't get the details. If it is still in storage the middle of next week PM me and I'll try to find out why.
D is firm schedule, serial number assigned. It basically is the start of planning your Jeep. Like one person said you can go back and forth from D to D1 because of a parts shortage, parts going on recall or other issues. Back two years ago when they had a recall on manual transmissions they...
Canadian dealers rarely give any info on orders and because of privacy laws in Canada Jeep USA sources aren't allowed to give out any info to the buyer. Blame the Canadian government.
@WillysGirl is right, it is very difficult to get an order changed after a VIN has been assigned and parts scheduled. The tow package is best done by the factory instead of being installed by the dealer or individual.
You do need to get a printed copy of the POC right away from the dealer with...
You have two problems ordering in Canada, privacy laws that prevent Jeep from giving you status updates and dealers that shouldn't be in business. I haven't heard of a single dealer up there that keeps their customers informed. If an order passes quality check it gets a VIN at that time, usually...
Jeep Chat came about after Jeep got rid of the reporting system they used to have. From what I read customers complained about the online service so they dropped it. The way some complain about Jeep Chat they may get rid of that.
Dealers have the status reporting and transit reporting systems...
This has been discussed before. Jeep controls access to the assembly process. Journalist tours are !imited to what Jeep wants them to see. according to employees they can be fired for taking pictures on the floor, even though Manquel pushes that rule sometimes. They don 't do plant tours like...
No one order can plan for a delivery date. Some wait weeks to start build, some wait weeks in JB, some wait weeks in inspection, some wait weeks to be shipped, some wait weeks whi!e being shipped. There is no average.
The sales managers I've talked with said it doesn't happen. They receive it, prep it and the customer can pay a transport company to bring it to your locale.
Remember, what you see on the forum and Crypto is less than 1% of all of their builds. Plus dealers are getting some priorty because they need them on the lots for lookers and buyers. Train availability will be going down for the next few months as grain is moved out of silos to make room for...
