I’m in Miami. When I bought my 2door rubicon in January there were 4 in the entire county!dade county is huge. I haven’t checked now but I don’t think it’ll be much better

I stopped by my local dealership in Norwood, MA this morning and they had one 2-door JL available. They normally have 15ish.

I actually think it’s better than what is was earlier in the year / last year.

local dealer has 12 wranglers and 3 XEs but they are turning over.

I remember earlier in the year, or maybe it was last year when I drove by a few times and they literally had none on the lot. They had moved a bunch trucks up to the front which they never do.

I don’t have sympathy for them - they missed the recovery and went too JIT for their margins. Not all car companies did this, some bought ahead / secured their supply chain.

this too will pass shortly

Normally there are 140-160 Wranglers on dealer lots in the greater Calgary area (there is an online tool). Down to about 110, but what is more troubling is that there are only 5 x 2-doors (and 1 non-Rubicon). Not sure if others are seeing that and Stellantis is prioritizing 4-doors.

Denver: autonation Jeep West.

there were 3 JLs on the lot. All three were sold. Zero inventory of wranglers. They did have about 20 Jeep Trucks and about 15 Jeep SUV thingies.

When I have been there previously, they would seemingly have 30 or more JLs on the lot and a similar amount of Jeep Trucks. I never bothered to look at the SUV Thingies previously so I don’t know what they would normally stock.

it also seems like they have loaded up the lot with used vehicles of many brands and stuck them out front to make the lot look full from the street.
