Ordered officially, 6/1
Vin received, 6/4
As of yesterday, 6/25, still in D1 status. Dealer told me an est ship date of 7/2. Really doubting that at this moment. Contacted Jeep care, they’ve been telling me astronomical time frames (6-8 months, WHAT!?) so I’m not even bothering to call/check in, as it seems they have no valuable info anyway. LOL.

2018 Wrangler JLU Rubicon (Granite)
JLU Rubicon Granite, Black Hard Top, Manual, leather, almost every package outside of smoker.
5/3 - Ordered
5/10 - D Status
5/25 - D1 Status
6/4 - Estimated Shipping 6/14
6/12 - Estimated Shipping 6/25
6/22 - Estimated Shipping 6/27
6/25 - Estimated Shipping 6/28

Does this shipping issue happen to anyone? Also, shouldn't it be in other status' if it is going to ship soon? Also, for advice, what is the protocol of finding the EXACT Jeep you ordered on a nearby lot and wanting to buy it? With trailer tow, manual, and leather my Jeep is a bit of a rare breed. What is the acceptable behavior of wanting to buy from a different dealer for the exact same build?

I have a question for you guys and gals out there.... The Jeep chat just gives a canned response as to the parts being compiled and awaiting assembly. The dealer has given me a eta ship date, which has changed a couple times.

Will my status go from D1 via jeep chat directly to it being on a rail car and on its way? Meaning Jeep chat or 1-877 number will not given any detailed assembly status, i.e. paint, quality check etc. ? Jeep chat will just continue to say that it is in D1 status until it is ready to be put on rail car?

I know its hurry up and wait, but perhaps someone whom has been through the process can provide clarification?

Thanks

They are out there, for instance their is a fully loaded Sahara I went to go buy, but it got hit in the lot and they were trying to push it off as new. I’m scared to buy off the lot now!

If you go onto Jeep.com, you can spec out the car you want and it will tell you if anyone has it, in addition to “partial” matches. Problem- you can only go to 150 miles away. Best option, contact dealer, they can search the whole country.

I did the search by zip code targeting Seattle, LA, Sacramento, Phoenix, Vegas, SLC, and Denver. I have found some. I was just wondering if it was awful to walk away from your ordered Jeep, or if I should wait it out.

Ordered at dealer 6/16, but that was a Saturday, was told order would be placed on 6/18. Got an email from sales rep that it’s “in the process of being built.” No status code in the email, didn’t see the email until just now, rep gone for the day.

Hello! Sorry if this has been asked before. But has anyone picked theirs up and brought it home the same day it was delivered to the dealership. Or does the dealership need to do paperwork that takes multiple days before it is available to be taken home!
