All these "specialists" love to look "further" into orders, yet still continue to give us the circle round and round with neutral responses.
They are not the problem. Getting mad at or expecting real explanations from them is unrealistic. You need to get ahold of people higher up in the food chain. Get an exec who makes real money and has some influence. Yell at him or her.
Maybe the silver lining of all these delays is that when production finally starts in early April, Jeep will have all the parts they need for all configurations of the 2 door and we won't face any further delays. (He said with his fingers crossed, having ordered a soft top 2dr with a manual trans and LED package).
If you had a sold order in, the MSRP and Delivery cost increase shouldn't impact you, at least I hope not. I negotiated a price 5% below invoice, and put a deposit down on 2/7. There's no way I'm paying more than what was negotiated. As part of my deal, we agreed on a trade in price projecting that it wouldn't be coming in until sometime between April to June. As part of the negotiations we discussed that if it takes longer it is to my benefit for the trade, and if it comes sooner, it is to the dealers benefit. I'm a little worried they are going to try to back out on the deal we agreed to. The trade in price we agreed to (which was the sticking point of the deal - I was walking out the door and the manager came up an additional $2,000 on the trade) will be at the high end of the trade in value range come June.Yes, all these delays are really costing me...
My financing pre-approval expired. Most likely, renewing it will show as another hard pull on my credit. The Interest rates are probably going up, and My Golden ticket expired. Then the recent increase in MSRP and Delivery.
These delays have cost me at least $1,200.
By that logic my 2007 is a 2006 because I got it in November ‘06. But it was actually manufactured even earlier.
Let us know how that goes! I would expect something like this “....due to production delays ( of which we will not tell you what they are ) production is slowed ( we can’t give you a delivery date because nobody knows ) we are so very sorry for the inconvenience ( but we really don’t care about our 2 dr buyers )....we’ve been told production will start soon ( by a group of execs and engineers who will not take blame for messing up the Toledo schedule, but they all are driving their new 2 drs already )... thanks for being a loyal Jeep customer...
How would canceling your order help you enjoy a Jeep this summer? Are you really going to base your decision on information given by a "specialist" whose job it is to identify quality issues that are trending on forums? (FWIW, if Jeep Cares is set up like Ford's identical program, it's likely they're not even employed by FCA.)
Bingo!
