So after nearly 8 months 4 promised delivery dates(3 this month alone) and a manager who has a problem with telling the truth I am looking at buying something else. Wondering what other cars you guys considered before buying the Jeep? Budget of 85K.
Cheers

I am a bush walker. My last car was a 2004 Ford Escape. All that I wanted, was another with some mod cons. The Nissan XTrail, or Mitsubishi Outlander, should have been my next car. However they both have lots of weaknesses.

So, I settled on the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk before choosing th es Wrangler. So that is your othe rd choice.

Pre-owned Wrangler from another agency!
Problem here in Australia there is very limited stock of Desiel rubicons and all the dealers in the south east subs of Melbourne are useless. Even had one tell my wife the colding in the GC seats was a fart extractor like the professionalism is of high standards.

Well if not a JLUR, I would probably have to settle on this until I could get what I wanted

Jeep Wrangler JL What would you buy if jeep didn't exist. 1591893077139


If I compromised on something similar to the JLUR that I wanted it, I would just end up pissed off ever time I drove it.

A 1992 Honda Civic which I could pick up for $500. I’d use the rest of the money to get out of California.
Great, you made me look where your from in California and now I want a curry dish from Rice by Mama.

Tacoma, if you can stand the seats. 4 runner with same disclaimer. I'm in a Jeep because Toyota's have such horrible seats (to me at least, seat comfort is 100% subjective to the ass in it).

So after nearly 8 months .................
8 months is agonising! Mine was 5 months from order to delivery. But it was 10 months from decision to delivery.

Jeep does short runs of Right Hand Drive Wranglers and then there is Covid 19 so that would account for the delay. My dealer could tell me which ship it was on and tracked the ship across the ocean.

Joe it is the 4 delivery dates and the manager lying about the first one to jeep Australia it was on time they just wanted $1700 For the extra options I didn't order, Covid never caused a delay with the second car arrived on time from USA but can't be delivered atm(on to car 3 now). They just can't seem to be able to deliver a car at all. 22 days to get a car from Sydney to Melbourne must be going via Perth. Just over the lies from the dealership..

I can feel your pain. I waited for 9 months...with the dealership folding with my deposit. Got FCA involved and another 3 months wait before I got mine.

even after all these drama, I would mot have it any other way. There's no alternative to Wrangler (at that price range)

I have never been a "car guy". As a bush walker I have never been a "Jeep Guy".

But I love my Wrangler! Was out yesterday in the Wattagans and had a great time!
