I cancelled the all Silver 2dr Rubi I reported ordering and re-ordered an all White 4dr Rubi both orders from Rairdon's on Smokey Point in Marysville, WA. I'm told by the dealer it should arrive between 5-16 and 5-26.

Seems a shame there are no posts or activity on the PNW area. So thought I'd get it started :)

I know I've seen some on the order threads, but just was wondering in general.
Placed order in Astoria for a 2 dr HT Rubicon in Astoria 4/23

I just placed my order yesterday for a Mojito! JLU Rubicon! I'm in PDX metro area. I am coming from a decently built up Toyota FJ Cruiser into my first Jeep.

I went with Tacoma Dodge even though it’s about an hour away. The internet sales person Kathy was awesome and I was able to get about 4.1% below invoice. Which is much better than the tread lightly deal.

She said I could share her contact info and she’d give any referrals the same deal.
We ordered from Dave at Tacoma. It has been a good experience so far. All we have is a VIN for now. He keeps us up to date when a status changes.

Watch out for them trying to charge you for BS window etching. Other than that a smooth buying experience.

Former Portland, OR Jeep owner (2012 JKUR), just got my 2018 JLUR and ready to get it built and get out there!! We’ll be running stock until there are better suspension options out there to clear 40’s.

I ordered a 2 dr JL on 2/18 at the Kennewick dealership.
The 2 door JL I ordered locally at Lithia Tri-Cities came in a few days ago and I rushed over to check it out. Previously I sat in a JLU with leather seats and just did not fit very well so kinda figured I might not buy the JL. The JL I ordered came with standard cloth seats and I fit in it nicely. I test drove it and thinks it's much improved over my JKU however did not buy. Lithia gave me a great deal and worked hard to get me in the new JL however I just could not justify the difference. MSRP $46745

I never did figure out the seat difference.

Dealer just wrote and said the JLR I ordered 1-22 is in Clinton Iowa on it's way here. Not being able to wait and thinking the 4dr made more sense for me, I ordered a JLUR in March that I received on May 17th and now have about 500 miles on. I'm still trying to get comfortable on the leather throne. I haven't sat in a JL so I'm interested in the possible difference. I continue trying to talk the Admiral into taking the JLUR so I can have the JLR. If that doesn't work in the next week+ or so then I will not get the JL. It is a fully loaded all silver 2dr Rubi that now configures to $51,320 and should include the block heater. If I pass, someone here should step up and take it before they raise the price. Don't know how we could do that but it should be worth the effort. Price is $44,825 including the paper shuffle but not tax, title and the required burger and beer for me. I'm still interested in a stock Jeep club around Seattle to explore moderate trails with.

So you all paid deposits for your dealer to place factory orders and then you chose not to buy? Did you lose the deposit monies? Or did you “order” it by having them dealer trade/transfer and not factory order?

Lithia Tri-Cities factory ordered my JL with no deposit required. I think it was/is their first 2 door so I am pretty sure it won't be around long.

I've always made a deposit to place a factory order and all have been totally refundable for any reason. I wouldn't place an order for an automobile to be made if it was forfeitable.

2018 Rubicon JLU
Jumping in late. 6/30 - Ordered a Sting-Gray Rubicon Unlimited,3.6 Auto with most of the options. Got it from Rairdon in Bellingham for almost 4% under invoice. They have been great to work with so far.

I'm now (very) impatiently waiting for Jeep to build and deliver it.
