Where Have All the 2DR Rubicons Gone?

[powderboarder]

I just passed 6 weeks (ordered 10/27) and finally moved to D1 this week. Not sure the amount of time there after, but I expect it is longer than two weeks.

What dealer did you order from? Get any discounts?

I’m located in Los Angeles. I called dozens of dealers in SoCal and none of them would drop much below MSRP.

From reading other threads on the forums, I reached out to Jim Marsh Jeep in Las Vegas. They do a flat deal of 5% below invoice. No haggles, no back and forth, easy. My order was $49,000 MSRP, and got it for $43,800. 5% below invoice, 9% off MSRP.

Still have taxes and tags on top of that. But I’m happy.

I ran through local dealers too. I heard about Marsh and approached them. They wanted me to finance and have TLA for 5%. I couldn't find out what the cost of a short term loan was going to be, so passed. I felt the not knowing, around trip hassle and expense wasn't worth it. Kept bugging my local dealer, Crown Dodge Ventura and hit the right time I guess(end of month) and they said they'd do 1% under FWP with TLA. Mine is $44,893. with $500 deposit. JLR, V6, auto., painted hardtop. Tax was something like $3,800 and tags $530.
Dealer had like 50 Wrangler JLU's, 1 JL

I understand FCA is building 8 JLU's to two JL's. What are the odds in time used JL's will be in more demand and have a higher resale value? I am a die hard 2 DR fan and just don't see the 4 Dr as an off road vehicle but just another SUV.

I think the latest report from one of the auto valuation companies said Tacoma had the highest 5 year value, followed closely by the 4 dr Wrangler then closely by the 2 dr Wrangler. Another company had the 4 dr on top, then the 2 dr and then the Tacoma. Of course that is at the brand level. What you can get will depend on your particular vehicle, what options, what shape, how many miles, where you are. Automotive News reported some dealers are complaining that used Wrangler values are falling because FCA is increasing fleet sales for Wranglers that hit the used car market in more volume and a lower price.

Puxatony Phil said it would be an early spring so yours should be coming out of hibernation soon. Now if they can just find where they parked it.

I finally got mine JLR v6 6-spd. I now know why mine was in JB status so long: Jeep only has a couple drivers at the plant who know how to drive a stickshift.

Getting ready to order a 2dr Rubicon. Looked around locally to find some to test drive. Crazy how many 4 doors are out there and very few 2 doors.

That’s why I had to custom order my two door! For every eight four doors they make, they only make two two doors

Yeah we are custom ordering ours. Main reason being if we're paying for a new vehicle, might as well get exactly what you want.

Also want to note, I think it's weird I've seen a few people say "8 four doors for every 2 two doors". Wouldn't you break it down like any other fraction, 4 to 1 instead of 8 to 2? I program CNC's and being a math guy it bugs me lol.
