4xe price increase Jan 2022?

[Simulacra]

I just sent my order in over the weekend. Dealer came back with a build sheet that has different MSRP on it and is telling me that there was a price increase over the weekend.

Was there a price increase for the 4xe that came into effect Friday 14th January or is my dealer trying to pull the wool over my eyes?

Yes, there was a ~$1500 price increase on the base msrp and many of the options increased.

Here is a before and after

Thanks for your reply. Looks like terrible timing on my end

Damn, when I ordered mine at the end of July the base price was $53,505. However, the proximity keyless entry wasn't shown in the base price, but it was a mandatory add-in that added $645. That brought the base price up to $54,150. Gorilla Glass was a steal at $95 and choosing a color other than white was only $245. Think of it this way, if you don't order now, you'll even be further in the hole if you wait a few more months!

By the way, what is Customer Preferred Package 29N? I don't see it in the build specs online. My Rubicon came with Customer Preferred Package 29V and it was a $0 charge. Just curious what the difference is.

Well it looks like the most recent price guide is already out dated

 

[wranglerbro]

The cost of Gorilla Glass jumped from $195 to $495?!

And it was $95 before that.

Glad I put more order in last week.

My JLU's base price increased between the order entry date and its arrival at the dealer. My $500 deposit locked in the vehicle's [lower] price in force on the day it was ordered, meaning I wasn't responsible for said increase. Phew.

Here's how I approach the subject:
The price of whatever I'm looking at, online or on a dealer's lot, will never be lower than it is at that moment. It can certainly increase, though (as the OP discovered.) This M.O. guides if and when I decide to spend money on X, Y or Z.

I paid the deposit over the weekend and the order was finalized monday morning. Dealer agreed to honor the original price so it worked out in the end but it was a stressful morning trying to figure everything out.

Odd that the website hasn't updated with the new pricing yet. Depending on when I jump, I am looking at $65,400 on the High Altitude before the price changes.

I really think that configurator is best used to tell you where vehicles you want are located and on who's lots. You spec it out and they show you how close the vehicles are and how closely they match your wish list. That's why the colors and things are always behind, because you can still find discontinued colors on lots, just can't order them for new builds. Also, Jeeps on the lots should still have the older pricing they were built under.

I'll be shocked if it's fixed before March
