Unresponsive Dealerships

[char05]

I've submitted my build to a handful of dealerships both local and recommended by the forum but haven't heard back in a week despite following up on pricing. Have you guys noticed this as well? I'm assuming the high demand of cars plus the pandemic caused some of this.

I'd guess their experience is that most people that email submit asking for pricing end up pitting several dealers against each other, and either they have low expectations on the lead actually converting to a sale for them, or that the chance of success isn't worth the profit they'll see on the slashed price.

How have you reached out? I found that I only had one dealer respond when I used the jeep automated create a build and submit it to dealers for quotes process (and they were non-competitive on pricing). I had better luck when I reached out directly.

With the current market conditions, I doubt you'll do better than affiliate at anyone but a volume dealer. If you're willing to go to a volume dealer, you probably don't need to reach out to more than the one. If you want to stay local, all you need to find out is if they'll honor affiliate.

I'm emailing the recommended sales reps on the forum along with the sales reps I've dealt with in person and still nothing haha

How would I know which one is an affiliate dealership? I'm guessing Gupton is one but they're unresponsive as well.

Call them and speak with someone to get a better response.

they get hundreds of email requests per day - an actual call will move you higher on their response list.

Once you log into the affiliate website, there is a dealer search that shows how many affiliate deals each has done.

I placed an order for fully loaded 2021 White Sahara from Gupton that should be delivered any day now to the dealer (Build and Sticker Found in Cryptostickers). Unfortunately I will not be able to take delivery and am looking for someone who might want to take over my order. Message me if you're interested in a new Jeep with NO WAIT.

The price in the PDF is before the Gupton discount is applied. You will save about $8k from the MSRP.


Pricing would be as follows:
$49527 (standard order pricing below factory invoice)
$49000 (standard order pricing; Must have Tread Lightly Control #)
$48473 (standard order pricing; Must have Tread Lightly Control # AND dealer arranged financing)

Hmm so is this part of the FCA Affiliate program? I'm new to this stuff my apologies. I'm not sure how it works

Yes, if you don't have it through work, you can just donate $100 to Tread Lightly. 1% under invoice.

Takes 30 days for TL to activate, but you just need it before delivery, you can order without it.

Damn, thank you so much. This is very helpful

Did you email Craig at Koons Tyson Jeep? He was very responsive with me and I was able to get a great deal.

Seems like I won't be able to login and view the affiliate program since I don't have a company code I'll just go on what you guys recommend

I had the same issue. Emailed Daniel twice at Gupton but never hear back from him. Emailed Mike @ Jeep Mall of Georgia and Tom Borah @ Chapman Jeep who responded right away. I ended up ordering with Tom because he was closer.
