Can I have your job?lol, yea. I'm trading in my Q7 for the GC, my wife's Acadia for the GW (guess we are swapping who gets the really high dollar car this time around), and trading in our RV's JKU for a JLU.

I ordered mine in 6/29/21 and Iām in the phase of āthey have all the partsā and waiting to be built.I know I'm super early on this....and first post...ordered a JLURD on 8/18...I've got a vin....current status is D, scheduling...what should I expect for delivery time? 3 months?
I think the 2022's will be on a completely different timeline. That's awesome you got yours so fast!So here is my experience (Canadian Ordered)
Once I decided I want I wanted I was told to contact. I do not live near this dealership and did everything online.
Mitch Cadesky
Serpa Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM SRT MOPAR ProMaster Commercial & CCRC.
20 Cowdray Ct, Scarborough, ON
So after a few phone calls and a few emails back and forth I decided on:
2021 Wrangler 2dr
v6 with eTorque
Willys package 25W
Sarge Green
Towing package & HD Elec Group
Tech group
Conv group
Cold Weather group
Uconnect 4C Nav & Sound group
Black Freedom Top 3-piece
Time Line:
Aug 30th - Ordered and was told expect delivery would be around Dec 30th. Was also told I would be update via email roughly every 2 weeks.
I did not initiate any contact after this date. All contact was initiated by Mitch
Sept 4th - Mitch texted me with the VON
Sept 30th - Mitch emailed me with the VIN, Was told that the Dec 30th time line was still valid
Sept 30th - I got an email from cryptostickers saying I had a build sheet but no window sticker.
Oct 14th - I got an email from cryptostickers saying I had a window sticker but when I tried to view it nothing was there.
Oct 16th - I get an email from Mitch(titled amazing news!) and my jeep has been built and shipped via rail.
Oct 18th - Mitch emails me saying it should be at the dealership within a few days
Oct 21st - Mitch emails me letting me know the jeep has arrived with a picture of it. We work on a date to pick it up as it needed to be undercoated etc and I was out of town for work anyways. No all weather mats (deleted from sticker) but everything else was good. So in go slush mats with the red logo.
Oct 26th - I arrive at the dealership at 1300, meet Mitch for the first time in person, and by 1400 I am heading home with my new jeep.
Even Mitch will agree that this was very quick for a Factory Canadian ordered jeep right now.
It has been one of my best purchases to date (and I've done a lot) over my 30 years
I highly recommend if you are in southern Ontario to get ahold of him. Tell him I sent you.
Anyways that's it
Cheers

took 14 weeksNice. How long was it for you?
Dang, sorrytook 14 weeks
After posting that, I decided to wljeepforum.com and saw where people were using the jeep.com URL with vin for the GC L models, including someone who posted his vin and I was able to confirm that the GC build sheets come up the Jeep link. Not sure about the GW.So weāre clear, the build sheet will only show up once the build has basically completed and the Window Stickers shows up when itās been built, inspected and released for shipping. And the Crypto tracker is not a āJeepā thing but a piece of software a member wrote that pings the FCA Wrangler database (and the Wrangler/Gladiator only) once a day or so, so itās not updated immediately. So I donāt know how long ago you put in your order but youāll see nothing on any of the link and any of the vehicles until the ā22 production starts.
As far as the URL goes, itās not live until the window sheet is created and usually takes a few hours to work. If you replace the word āJeepā with āChryslerā a lot of times your sticker will show sooner. But since you can replace it with Chrysler, Iād start there first.
Hopefully that helps.
Now if I could just get enough time off to use the RV and Jeep, all would be great.Can I have your job?
just when you think the dealership experience canāt get worseā¦ they sold our Jeep To someone else! I am so pissed I canāt see straight. 12 weeks of waiting and working the escalation process and weāve got nothing! The worst dealership on the planet.
So how much compensation or additional options do I demand out of this deal?
It will workDoes that work for Grand Cherokees and Wagoneers?
What dealer did this to you?Itās been a long week since finding out the dealership sold our Jeep to someone else. The bad news is we canāt order another MY21 so itās back to the waiting game on a new MY22.
The good news is after speaking with the owner of the dealership & sales manager multiple times, we have come to a significantly improved financial agreement and compensation for their mistake. I found out that the dealership fired the sales manager that was there when we ordered JLU21 at the beginning of August. The new sales manager has only been here for there weeks now. Iāve seen a significant improvement from the dealership since all this happened. I refuse to work with the sales person that screwed this up. Only working directly with the new sales manager. I already have my new VON today.
Thanks to the escalation advisor who has been completely awesome during the last week. They made multiple phone calls to the dealership on my behalf and assisted in both providing additional compensation as well as helping to prioritize our new order to be one of the first MY22s to be built! Iāve already have a scheduled build date of 12/9/2021.
The wait now is even more worth it!
Advise to othersā¦
1) Follow your gut. When something doesnt feel right you are most likely correct. I ignored or dismissed way to many signs the last 12 weeks.
2) Donāt be afraid to call your dealership, escalate to the sales manager or owner if needed. I wish I would have sooner.
3) I know they are supposed to work for you but own the process. I took one day off and it cost me.
Good luck to everyone waiting on their Jeep whether itās a MY21 or MY22!

At least you know where you stand. The advisor you have is a real good guy. I know had the same one.Itās been a long week since finding out the dealership sold our Jeep to someone else. The bad news is we canāt order another MY21 so itās back to the waiting game on a new MY22.
