Got yours that early? I'm jealous. Lol
Didn't the colour only open at the start of Feb??? Fastest order ever?

Let me know what you think!...Dave

Still waiting on my Unlimited Sport w/half doors in Gecko. Ordered 02/11, supposed to ship from the plant by 03/28 but has not been built yet as of today. Probably not going to get it till the first week of April at the earliest.

That sucks. I think the same is happening with mine. Reallllly hope it's not the end of April or something. :(
Question, is it possible to add an option if the build hasn't started yet?

GeckoJK

I think once you get to D status it's too late to make a change to the order without cancelling it and starting over. What did you want to change?

dreg

Just add side airbags. I had went through the options on the site and they're not listed at all.
So I asked for a price with said options, ordered. Just seemed like something worth getting for the small cost it adds.

Not a big deal, I've never had side air bags in a previous vehicle, but why doesn't the .ca site list em?

GeckoJK

I think the list on them is about $400. It is strange how they dont offer them on the builder on the Jeep.ca site. Course I find there are a lot of things missing on the site. I confirmed with the dealer when I ordered mine and added them. One of those options you hope to never need but nice to have if you do. The airbags are only in the front seats, probably cost prohibitive to add them after the fact. I wish the heated seats were offered on the Sports. I didn't want a Sahara and I found that was the only way to get them was unless you did the Katzkin leather upgrade. (which they have since stopped offering, it was about $1000) They are a $250 upgrade on Saharas with cloth. Shouldn't be too bad I suppose without them.

If your dealer is on the ball you should be entitled to the lowest rate ( rate when order placed and rate at time of delivery) My dealer did for me ....ordered Nov.2012 took delivery Feb. 2012

GeckoJK

Yeah my dealer will give me whichever offer is better. The Jeep shipped and ETA at dealership is currently 4/5.

I realized I never posted an update. I got my Jeep April 12th. The order was wrong. They ordered full doors with manual windows and locks, soft top only. Apparently the sales guy failed to select the half doors when he put the final order in and missed it cause it was a no cost option. I ended up telling them either they needed to reorder or to take this one it would require a hard top as I would have ordered dual tops with full doors. After discussions with the sales manager, they ordered the hard top and wiring and I got it for free. They are going to wire up the top as well. It took about 3 weeks for the top to show up. They delivered it to my house and put it in the garage since I don't need it till fall now. Overall I am happy. I do like the door panels better in the full doors and decided maybe the plastic windows on the half doors might be a PITA in the winter time. Preferred manual windows and locks anyways. The dealer was concerned they were going to get stuck with a bright green Jeep, no power windows and locks and no hard top. It was otherwise fully loaded so they knew if I didn't take it that it would sit on their lot.
