Ordered Black Rubi today with body colored fenders and body colored roof and everything except the smoker's group. But quick question. I see on the previous post before mine it says sold order. mine says dealer order, and under status it says pending order. Should I be concerned?

A sold order will have your name on the window sticker and a build priority of 1. Sold orders are built before dealer orders .

Sold orders have a build priority of 1 and are built before dealer orders. Also an a sold order your name will appear on the window sticker. If you picked out the options it should be a sold order. I would talk to your dealer.

I wondered the same thing when I put in my order on the 5th. Later on, my dealer confirmed for me that my order was, in fact, a sold order and that the paperwork I received was prior to it being put into their system. He showed me a picture of the order doc from his system and it has me listed as a Sold Order now with a Build Priority of 01.

I assume that yours is a similar issue, but as Fred noted, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to reach out to your dealer to confirm. Especially if you are on a tight schedule as I am.

EDIT: Also, holy cow can we go back to the pricing for the Rubicon in your window sticker, Fred? :(

talked to dealer today. he said he had to have manager put it in system and it is a sold order, so I'll just have to believe him.

Ordered yesterday. Easiest transaction ever. Takes me longer to buy groceries. $2,600 off invoice, $6,000+ off MSRP, $130 doc fee. I'm in. Now for the loooong wait.

Sometimes I wonder if ordering a Rubicon with no options would be the best “value”. Bet you’d lose very little on resale.

New order for a JLUR, Silver Billet, V6, manual trans, painted top & fenders, most of the options, no prox. I decided to end the wait for more colors, figuring I would rather enjoy it sooner. Now I just hope the 6 Spd MT doesn’t hold it up too long. 5% under invoice. Anyone have a manual JL deliver yet?

ordered 12/8/17. got a VIN four days after!
Questions for your order date. I was calling a dealership in Nevada around that time and they kept telling me when they went to the Chrysler website (where they order) their was nothing to order because they had no numbers or information to order or identify anything so they could put in an order. By the way, I was not talking to a sales guy. After about two weeks, checking in every two days, on the 20th of December( they told me they had received the info to order on the 19, I was able to order. I did not even get a vin # for about a week after the order. So I'm curious how were some of you able to order and get a vin# so early?

I was really surprised they got me a VIN in just four days. When I went to the dealer on 12/8 they didn't have any pricing at the time but they told me I could still order. Salesman pulled it up on his computer and we were able to pick options, etc and print out a sheet.

Not sure. I ordered on Monday and got a VIN @ the time of order. This is my order sheet printed the day after order with VIN#. I saw some older post were the guys that ordered in Nov. and Dec. waited weeks to get a VIN. I just chalked it up to things moving faster on the JL's 2 months after orders opened up. I know it doesn't mean I'm getting mine any faster. I actually hope not. Gotta sell my Hard Rock. I'll wait until it's been two weeks since order and check with dealer for a status. They won't know anything so I'll also try Jeep chat. Hopefully @JAY will be able to open up tracking to new folks. But ya. It's weird. Got my VIN# that day. Some don't??
