Back In Rubicon

[Mdrums]

Hello, I've been spending some time reading through the forum and joined up today. I use to have a 2015 JK Rubicon and I really got into with suspension mod's and really loved it. I had it almost 4yrs and sold it. Why? Answer is Wife!.... LOL...I wanted to get her a Mercedes C63S she really wanted and I got back into a Porsche GT3 for fun at the track.

I started wanting another Jeep, especially a 392. I finally got serious about it a few months back but wow are they hard to find! My local Jeep dealers can't get a 392 plus they want over MSRP to order etc.

I saw on the prefered dealers post that Lakeland Jeep is a forum preferred dealer, so I contacted them. I am a past customer of there's too. Lakeland Jeep showed on Jeep.com and there website they had 2 392's on the lot but wanted $10k over MSRP plus a mandatory $2500 Mopar Protection Package they called it. They are no longer discounting 392's I was told.

After back and for they brought those prices down to MSRP but I had to buy this protection pkg scam. When it came time to do the paper work all of a sudden this Jeep is not there, the sales guy can't find it blah blah I'll call you back....then crickets. I called left messages, sent texts etc. Finally he said someone sold it to another customer...probaby for over MSRP. They said they'd order 392 but it's a 6-9 month wait July-August delivery 2024. I walked away.

I contacted other local Jeep dealers same story as above, either can't get or a few coming in but want $10-20k over.

So I found a 2024 new 392, silver like a wanted, winch, sky top at Dan Cummin's in Kentucky. I contacted them worked with Lindsey there who was so prompt and awesome and no games, nothing extra I needed to buy. A few texts, email and done. Next day my 392 was on a truck and it is headed to me in Florida.

Here are some photos of my loved JK and my on the way to me 392.

Welcome back to the duck side ??

Yeah, buying a Jeep Wrangler is about where you buy it from these days more than anything. ?‍

Were you able to purchase this one under invoice? They are getting more difficult to find.

No not under MSRP for in stock 392 new no miles. I got mine for MSRP no other additional things needed to be bought.

I could order under MSRP but honestly there is no guarantee you will get one if ordered.

Multiple dealers told me they would order at invoice or under MSRP. I had offers for $100 down non-refutable to $1000 down non-refutable to buy a place in line and a few dealers would do refundable deposit.

Lots of games out there now. Consensus is order now and get in 5-8 months...I was quoted 6-9 months by many too if they could even get an allocation.

The supply is certainly tightening up.

Not sure if this is true…dealer speak…but a few dealers said Dodge are concentrating the 392 into the SRT cars and they are also concentrating on building the Dodge Demon 170.
Who knows really… watch the market get flooded with Rubicon 392 in March! ?
