I ordered a 2020 on Monday. When I got the VIN today they have upped the price of the LED package and are now charging for paint.

$195 for paint and $1,045 for the LED Lighting group.

Way to nickle and dime Fiat....

Suppliers could be charging more, especially with the UAW strike at the GM plants. These things happen.

It's fine if I know that going in. I ordered at one price. When I got my Vin the price changed. End of the day Jeep is going to eat the cost, not me. Order was already placed at an agreed-upon price.

Oh yeah if the dealer has set the price they should honor that. If not I'd walk away.

Not to mention possible increase in tariffs.
This is also true.

LED lighting group is a funny package.

So if you just order the LED group you get LED taillights, headlamps, fog lights, and fender lights for $1000

If you order the LED group with Safety group, you get LED headlamps, fog lights and fender lights for $1000

If you order the LED group with Safety group and steel bumper group, you get LED headlamps and fender lights for $1000

Yeah dealer is handling it. It's just silly that they are increasing these prices mid-cycle. The vendors should be locked into a price for the entire model year. I got a basically loaded Rubicon without fancy Jeep gloves.

Do you mean Jeep is now charging extra for certain paint colors?

Why not share your window sticker? I'd like to see that as others do too probably.

Tell them not to paint it. I would really like to see their reaction. :)

His signature says "Billet Silver"...I have a hard time believing this is an upcharge color.
I don't disagree, but I know FCA charges for all colors except White on the Ram 1500s. I wouldn't be surprised if they started to nickel and dime Jeeps too. The options are already bloated $$$ wise as is.

If the above is accurate, I guess we'll see it reflected in the October order guide... does make sense that if they were to make a price change they'd do it on the month switchover.
