[OldGuyNewJeep]

For the ones that order last year and early this year. The sticker price has gone up. Did the dealer honor the old sticker price .. thanks

Yes, old price was honored by my dealer.

Yes, Mine did. And a full tank of gas. No wheel locks or Block Heater though..

I asked my dealer to try and work out a deal with his rep on the block heater. Specifically, he's going to try to get me a soft top window bag (backordered) in place of the heater. No guarantee, but worth a shot... (I don't actually care about the block heater, for which I have zero use. Also, I HATE wheel locks. They're nothing but a headache.)

Anyway, be a squeaky wheel. Maybe you'll get some compensation. Even a full tank of gas would be something, since FCA only gives you 5 gallons by default...

I believe these are considered quotes... not actual contracts--even with deposits on them as the deposits are optional and obviously vary from dealer to dealer.

That being said, if my price goes up one cent from my original quote (Jan 5) when it's time to finish things up, I'll tell them to shove it up their ass, take an Uber to the nearest Chevy dealer and buy a ZR2.

Yes it also may be considered that way. I do think if you have a good
dealer there should be no worry of an increase to your agreed price.
Plus Jeep really has guts to increase the price on their product they
can not deliver on time !! What is their reason for this ?
1--JL is hot seller no one will back out
2--To slow down orders so they can produce what they promised

I can not believe there are dealers that do not fill your tank.
My dealer fills all vehicles that they sell. Some dealers just
try to make every penny they can.

I found it crazy that the window sticker says "five gallons of gasoline"

ridiculously stingy on such a high-profit vehicle

There was a thread that covered Price Protection for Pre March 1 orders (851)

"Been posted before, but this applies only to pre-March 1, 2018 orders

If the dealer entered a sold order for you before the price increase you will be fine. By sold order it must be marked a type 1 order with your information on the POC. The dealer will enter the price protection code of 27EJ2 in the incentives claim screen.

FCA official language is the following;
Bona fide sold orders obtained by you prior to March 1, 2018 will be price protected providing that:

The customer name appears on the factory order prior to the ship date (KZ); the vehicle is delivered to the ordering customer within ten (10) calendar days after being received by the dealer (X date) and the sale is reported to FCA US LLC under the DealerCONNECT system within 2 calendar days of the sale. "

See build in signature below, but ordered 2/22, D1 5/16, E 6/2, JB 6/5

I should be more excited, but not looking forward to likely greater than 1 month in headliner hell. Tried to get my dealer to cancel headliner or take after delivery...anything to get it to me sooner, but no success

It almost infuriates me that my Jeep is sitting there built waiting for the stupid vendor...if I had known this few hundred dollar accessory would be such an issue...

 

[alltimesaresoon]

not sure if it's accurate or not, but first source telling me that i'm in KZ, moving out of I, was, yes, wait for it, jeep chat...

Mathew: Thank you for waiting Dave. The Jeep has moved into the ship phase, but I do apologize as right now the order does not have an ETA window showing when it's going to reach the dealer. When our Jeeps are shipped out, they are shipped out in lots and we do wait for a full load of vehicles that are all heading towards the same area before the ETA is finalized. I would suggest allowing a week to pass then contact us back for an update, but we are available 24/7 if you would like to contact back earlier.

dave powers: ok. thank you. can you confirm what the letter code for the status is?

dave powers: for ship phase? does that mean KZ?

Mathew: It is the last code we see through our system which is KZ.

dave powers: awesome. thank you very much. have a good day

866 number & JG also confirmed KZ but no ETA yet. Cryptostickers is trailing - no updates there
Dealer sent me this... showing albuquerque ramp eta of 6/22

 

[jkappos]

Thanks for posting your order dates. We are with all of you. You all seem to
be hanging in there but I just don't know how you do it. It was a bitch for us that
waited. My wish for you is it must come VERY soon and bring happiness.
So far: Dec.----4
Jan.-----3
Feb.----5

Feb 14th for me. Sport S loaded out w/ PST. They say I'm D1 w/ a 6/21 Ship date. We will see

Same here, if they try that BS, I'll tell them to shove it! Although, we worked out a deal with my trade and it's all in writing, so I can't imagine they'll try to charge me more. The only thing I noticed in Cda is the Freight & PDI increased $100 to $1895! Got my window sticker this morning. Hopefully that means I'll see it this month.

What do you do with the windows once you pull them off? I understand they won't roll up like the JK so a cloverpatch product wouldn't work. Is there a way to take them with you and still have the back seat useable if needed?

thanks

i put them in my porch - though i know that there's some mopar bag that attaches to the back seat to hold them, just haven't seen it yet (not sure of part number)....i don't think that i'd leave them on floor of the back because they'd just kind of fold over in place, or get crap all over them

if it helps, i've been driving in safari mode since i got it home 3 days ago. it is amazing - even with back windows all gone, i simply roll up front windows and turn on heat (and heated seats) and it's totally toasty. my wife gets cold very easily and she was pretty happy about how much shelter there is in front with the bimini top position and all that air flowing through the back of the jeep

 

[NM Original]

As I get ready to go to the MA State IDPA Championship Match tonight I realize how lucky I am to have my Jeep for the trip! For those of you still waiting I will be thinking of you and hoping your wait will soon be over.

Fred, you are making me feel like I am standing at the end of the driveway, waving to you as you drive away in your shiny Jeep, and I can't go.
( a tear runs down my cheek )

Chanchal: Gary order is currently in the build process. The completed vehicle should be ready for shipping in the next day or so.

I hope you move JB quickly. After seeing the actual dates...mine was in JB from 5-16 to 6-1...about 15 or 16 days. Not as bad as some others but, maybe it’s a sign of them catching up.
