One reason to order GG from the factory is that your insurance will put in a GG replacement.

I ordered a loaded Sahara on June 12th and took delivery late August. If I order the same vehicle today it is $845 more expensive. I am not sure what that tells you. Other than prices go up.

absolutely and i was thinking maybe a reduction in insurance as its more durable?

Not like I haven't even seen a cell phone with a cracked screen.

OH VERY TRUE - but anything in an improvement on the standard glass

when I built mine a couple weeks ago, GG was $195.

However, when I finally signed the POC, there was a $400 difference:
paint color went from $245 to $295 (+$50)
3pc color hardtop from $2,445 to $2,495 (+$50)
base Rubi Unlimited from $42,920 to $43,320 (+$400)

Dealer told me his pricing is correct and the website is not updated timely and can take a few weeks.

... and keep your sticker handy, my insurance would not take actual physical vehicle equipment, only sticker.

did you have to pay the upcharges?

Ordered 6/16 and did go up same as the MSRP. I was lucky had the POC so the Dealer actually honored it. I've done quite a bit of business with then as well

 

[ECP]

did you have to pay the upcharges?

Yes. It was a forum dealer and until its signed on, dealer controls the pricing. I (think) I got a good deal, so I wasn't going to make a big deal on $400. I pointed it out and he explained that their computer pricing is the current pricing and it says on the website that the dealer price supersedes the website pricing.

random rant:

So i ordered my JL on 9-11-21 and at that time was always on jeep.com messing around "building" my jeep and looking at the options - i went on today as i wait for my jeep and i noticed while the 21's are still on the site - many of the options / colors are no longer available as they were - and the Gorilla Glass is now listed at double the price (was $95 upgrade a month ago - now $195)

i diddnt dive much further in the package prices but im sure other things have gone up too.

the state of things in the USA in regards to products, manufacturing, importing, shipping, inflation, etc all suck so im wondering if any of you who recently ordered and received their Jeep - was the price much more today than it was when you placed the order (MSRP a few months ago vs now)?

i ask because im not leasing so id like to know $ amounts

My sticker price was $795 higher, paint went up, GG went up and 2.0 discount went down...my dealer honored my price we agreed to 6 weeks prior.

I ordered on the 3rd of Sept and the glass and tow package had increased.

Does the Gorilla Glass windshield have little Willys Jeep logo in the bottom right corner?

Yep.

 

[miweber929]

My build MSRP increased from the day of order to the day of pickup and my dealer did not pass that price onto me. Several things went up, something like $600 total.

Some do, some don’t. Ask your dealer to know for sure.
