Any PNW folks ordering the JL?

[Gilroy]

I'm still interested in a stock Jeep club around Seattle to explore moderate trails with.

I would love if this existed/maybe we should start it. I'm not an experienced off road driver and don't want to end up stuck and alone. I don't have a ton of free time between work and going back for my Master's degree so I would be a terrible organizer and would have to turn down invites more often than not but if someone wants to do the dirty work I would be very enthusiastic and grateful when I do have a free day to have fun!

Didn't order, bought off the lot at Rairdon's in Kirkland. Second purchase from them and both times they leave you feeling a bit slimy. Sent a letter offering a ridiculous amount for my 2015 JKU Sport S and then didn't want to honor the letter THEY sent me. After way too much back and forth they relented and I got my 2018 JLUR.

I am in Vancouver and also purchased off lot (didn't order)..

Interested as well in local'ish clubs or 4x4 outings. I'm not interested in extreme off roading or rock crawling. Mainly like easy to moderate trails that offer a view..

Jumping in late. 6/30 - Ordered a Sting-Gray Rubicon Unlimited,3.6 Auto with most of the options. Got it from Rairdon in Bellingham for almost 4% under invoice. They have been great to work with so far.

I'm now (very) impatiently waiting for Jeep to build and deliver it.

I ordered an all options silver JLR from Rairdon's in Marysville January 20. It arrived June 18th. They wouldn't sell it to me till July 3rd for $44,825. Good luck. I won't deal with them again.

So far it's been the easy part with them (ordering). We'll see what happens with the delivery and final. Hopefully it will be smooth as we've already agreed to the important stuff in writing.

What was the rational for waiting an additional 3 weeks before they would sell it to you!?

Omitted in my previous complaint about the way I was treated by Rairdon's of Marysville, WA regarding the order of a JLR I placed with them on 1-19-18.

"It got here on my days off. I'm back. It's here. It's yours if you want to buy it. We have to wait until the 3rd to do the deal because of the net loss. Don't want the loss this month."

Emails and texts are living on my computer and cell phone from 1-19-18 thru 6-29-18.

Additionally, un-recorded conversations include: we can sell for more to someone else, we want to put it on the showroom floor, it's hidden in the back lot (while sending pics of it detailed and sitting next to the showroom entrance).

As for the JLUR order: again, they promised to call me the minute it arrived however when they called on May 19th it had been sitting detailed and was ready to go. I immediately went there and closed, took possession and love it.

I like the Wranglers but don't trust that dealer and my complaint to FCA was a waste of time.

Picking up at Dennis Dillon in Caldwell ID on 8/20. We ordered in April. We're coming in from Portland and they made us a smoking deal. They insist they have lots and lots of delighted customers. I've bought enough cars that I'm wondering what shoe is going to drop but things seem on the up and up. Will keep you posted

 

[GozFather]

What kind of smoking deal are we talking about? I'm going to order the 2019 the day order bank opens. So far I'm at 3-4% under invoice. Did they give you better? Thanks

Bought locally but shopped Dillon and liked the fellow. I've only heard good about them. I expect you will be fine.
Keep us posted. My wife wants my Rubi, I might have to get her a Sahara and if I do I'll shop Dillon again.
PS I lived in Portland for 50 years. Does anyone know if all the new Warn Zeon's are JL ready.
Mine was on the front porch when I got home tonight. Probably won't get it on till early October.

I don’t have the JL yet but the link in my post above is my build, on their site. Last time I ran the numbers it looked to me like 7.5% off invoice. I don’t expect anything to go sideways but if it does I’ll update the link in my signature with details.

My JLUR was $53200 MSRP Dennis Dillon sold it to me for $47100. I flew in to Boise at 10:30AM ($220 flight from Seattle) and was on the road driving home my new Rubicon by 1:30PM. No BS...no hassle. Nick Cox was my salesman I highly recommend Dennis Dillon.

Bought mine from Dennis Dillon for ~$6000 off MSRP...and my MSRP was less than $50k to begin with

The only thing I didn't catch until too late was they charged me $300 for some stupid antitheft body panel stickers, which in my opinion are pretty worthless.

Cheers

I also had a great experience at Dennis Dillon dealing with Nick Cox. When you pick up, take your build sheet and all correspondence and call BS on the anti-theft ad on. I did and they removed it. Wasn't part of my build, quote and they call it a fee but I argued they modified the vehicle (added stickers) that were not on the build quote we both signed. Otherwise...a great experience.

On the Seattle eastside, avoid any Rairdons. They overcharge, screw you around, bait and switch and generally don't know a damn thing about JL's. Had to go to two dealerships to get the same Jeep that had already been sold to someone else... long story. If I could do it again, head over to Dave Smith near Spokane. Heard only good things about that place.

YUP, I heard such stories about THIS (b.s.) at DD and a few other places (mostly on East Coast) ! Making a Buck must be getting harder ? But like you, Not at My expense - when the time comes ! I live in the Spokane (WA.) area and besides the 3 dealers within "shouting distance there is DD as well (for me). Should I bring up, in advance that "fee" and risk pissing them off, or wait till the end, act surprised & pissed of myself & get it knocked off !? I'm leaning toward the later, again, when the time comes & IF I go with them - this will most likely occur during the 1st quarter of 2019 when some of the "dust" settles about the eTorque/ESS stuff for Both the 2.0 & 3.6 each with the auto-tranny. I like Great Gas mpg, but not convinced gas prices will EVER stabilize in Our favor and the "savings/gas price diff." vs. the 3.6 . . . and I'm not sure !?
It's October 1st . . . February/March is still a bit away, so . . . ? Hoping too, they come up with another color choice - preferably in some "Classic Army tone" - Green, Brown or Tan . . . pick your "War Era" and go ! Being "older," I prefer the Classic WW2 ! My current Jeep, WK2 75th is in Recon Green ! they also did a "green hue" for the Wranglers - heck they could even bring something close to that; just give it a different name ! I also prefer Clear Coats - like my Recon green.
It's the "time" waiting that urks me - but once the order is in, that will be gone (for me) - though it seems (here) it just gets other really anxious !

If you are in Spokane then Dishman is a solid option without requiring a drive. I went there and got 5% off invoice and they didn't try any BS fees on me. I came in knowing what I wanted and had my own financing and my salesman Jacob Broyles just worked with it without trying to throw anything else at me.
