Why do a Factory Order

[Prevok]

The main reason for me was that the color and engine are not available yet at dealers (Punk'N Metallic and 2.0T). That being said, with the price of that thing, I wanted to make sure I just get the options I really want, rather than miss one or pay for an additional one I don't need.

I am doing a factory order because I want the stripped down model. The dealers make money on all the bells and whistles that I don't want.

Aye. And a truly stripped down model will never be just sitting on a money-hungry Jeep dealer's floor. I'm practically willing to bet no dealer stocks a 2 door Sport 6MT just for the hell of it.

I emailed a dealer back and forth a couple times, and they said they're happy to do orders, and asked me what options I was looking for. I told them "A 2 door manual with A/C" and they stopped responding to me.

I guess I'm not worth it as a lowly base model customer.

I am obsessed with the posts of people getting their factory orders.

But i have to admit many of the builds seem to be similar to Jeeps readily available on dealer lots.

I think i am going to have to factory order to get my options (sting gray, premium soft top, manual sport s). But i would much rather just pick one out on a lot.

For those who are doing a factory order, why are you going that route?

I just placed my order for Sting-gray Rubicon with premium soft top, infotainment, LED and cold weather. Can't find a Rubicon with a soft top anywhere in the Denver area none the less sting-gray (which we all know and it has been well documented does not yet exist on a lot)

There is one on a lot! There are pictures in the Sting Gray Club thread.

My problem is that I have emailed several dealers about ordering the loaded jlur I want, and all but one has completely blown me off. It's like they don't want money.

Although some will deal via e-mail most would rather you come in and talk to them face to face. I am not saying you have to do this but most are not going to wheel and deal via e-mail.

Yeah, I'm finding that out. The one who did respond took the build sheet I sent and gave me a quote right away (which was the flat invoice price). He will probably get my business just for being professional.

To save about 5-6 k and get exactly what I want

I've been looking for two months for a JL completely loaded and so far the only one I've found anywhere in Jeep's inventory is the one I ordered. I wanted EVERY option including painted top, fenders and dual tops. There appear to be none anywhere except mine.

Did same thing ordered March 15 expecting June 1st

 

[BaldEagle]

Rubicon 2.0L aren’t going to be available that much sooner - and body color hardtop w/ dual tops are super rare in California

You can order I would order v6 not the turbo

Go with v6

I was kind of forced to factory order. The color I wanted wasn't available, and the only available JLU in the color I wanted was about 14 hours outside my city but It didn't have a lot of the features I wanted. So no choice for me, now I'm stuck waiting in D1 since Mar. 19
