My local Dealer would not get a Mojito JL. I drove 2 hours to see the color IRL. I knew that I wanted it, then 19's have advanced safety group. I had to order. That and not sure how long Mojito will be able.

I tried to buy off the dealer lot. Wanted a White JLUR, Only seen one white JLUR come through the two Jeep dealerships in my town. Both had options missing that were deal breakers. One did not have the cold weather package. I will have the top and doors off in the mountains. If it gets a little chilly, bam heated seats and a heated steering wheel. Plus after having a heated steering wheel, I will probably never have another vehcile that does not have a heated steering wheel. Michigan gets cold as fuck.

The other White JLUR that came through the dealers did not have the 8.4 screen and upgraded speakers. Another deal breaker, I would have bought it but the dealer was unwilling to order the 8.4 screen and upgrade the speakers.

I found other JLUR around the state, but they all had stuff on them that I did not want to pay for. I even searched out of state using CarGurus. Same problem, either they had stuff on them that I did not want to pay for or was missing stuff that I did not want to do without. The duel top was almost impossible to find also.

Can't understand why no wranglers ever are on dealer lots with the color and options I want and none that I don't want.
So, I order
Plus the anticipation of Christmas is better than any Christmas

My dealer had no stock whatsoever and I wasn't interested in compromising on my spec, so I ordered.

I was going to have to drive a few hours regardless because near me no one wants to deal. No budge, even $100. Plus I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, either they'd be missing something, or have something I didn't want, like a colored top.

Ordering gave me a chance to get exactly what I wanted, and I got a better price.

I wanted a 2 door rubicon and they're are few and far between to begin with.

Most of the high option ones and leather which I didn't want.

I was in a similar boat: too many lot builds weren't what I wanted though this is also my first time buying a car from a dealer so I started with very limited options (I did understand I could negotiate). One dealer mentioned doing a build which brought the MSRP lower than any lot Jeep, but that made me start digging and I found this forum where I realized I could beat that price AND get the extra toys I was going to skip on due to price.

Frankly, this forum saved me because I never thought I'd be able to negotiate on a custom build, but here we are. I'm so excited to take delivery when my rig is built.

Most of these responses were what I suspected. In the past, when I've ordred a new vehicle, it was because I wanted a more basic version of what was on the lot. Dealerships do order heavily optioned cars/trucks/Jeeps for stock. More built in profit.

Base Jeeps are very hard to find, but this time I was lucky. I told them either red or gray, with red being my top choice. I wanted no options other than AC and LSD. They found one close in a few minutes and in about 1/2 hour they had traded for it....all I had to do was pay for it!

I would have ordered one if what I wanted was not available.

Same as me, except I still have only seen pics of a Mojito JL and ordered one anyway. I have not seen any dealer within 200 miles of me ever have one for the months where I was looking for a 2018. What's the deal?!?!

You won't be disappointed when you finally see it in front of you

Missed this on the other reply.

not sure if this helps, if you have seen 04-05 Electric Lime Green. Mojtio is almost Viper Snake Skin Green.
