Re: Delivery Time for Factory Order
Not if you're buying at the bottom dollar. Unless that dealer is
unloading something he just can't sell and is willing to take a loss, he
has vehicle cost PLUS interest invested in the 'lot' vehicle. An ordered
vehicle has zero interest expense attached. I find my best deals on
ordered vehicles...definitely. :) Unless you don't mind the purple
with lime green striped one on the back lot. I agree that the dealer is
most definitely wanting to sell you the one on the lot, however, bottom
dollar on that unit is not necessarily the best deal.

Re: Delivery Time for Factory Order
very true Jerry...you get the worst price if they "dealer trade" from
somewhere else because the dealer loses the "holdback" money which on a
wrangler is around 400-500 bucks.

Yeah, the dealer here in New York (no, not New York /City/) told me
the black top wasn't available with Patriot Blue. Of course if you
order they'll put whatever color you're paying for on it. The grey
actually looks rather nice with the blue. I was worried it would be
too much grey with the grey interior.
> they also all had dual tops
At least you can scrape the ice off and run the defogger in the winter :-).
I'm itching to put the soft top on and then have some warm sunshine to
go cruising without the top!

Who buys anything else? ;-)

Quite true (mostly). I thought about ordering ... but 1% below
invoice and having a 4x4 with the snow coming convinced me otherwise.
I think I would have lost that Chrysler incentive, and I wouldn't have
had the Jeep in time for the snow if I had ordered. I did keep going
over the features/options list and pricing before I decided.
The only "extras" I got were the floor mats and side steps (well, I
guess the stereo upgrade too, but it does sound rather nice). I took
both of them off weeks ago. Is it possible to order a Sport with the
lower-grade stereo, I wonder?

Yeah, the dealer here in New York (no, not New York /City/) told me
the black top wasn't available with Patriot Blue. Of course if you
order they'll put whatever color you're paying for on it. The grey
actually looks rather nice with the blue. I was worried it would be
too much grey with the grey interior.

At least you can scrape the ice off and run the defogger in the winter :-).
I'm itching to put the soft top on and then have some warm sunshine to
go cruising without the top!

Quite true (mostly). I thought about ordering ... but 1% below
invoice and having a 4x4 with the snow coming convinced me otherwise.
I think I would have lost that Chrysler incentive, and I wouldn't have
had the Jeep in time for the snow if I had ordered. I did keep going
over the features/options list and pricing before I decided.
The only "extras" I got were the floor mats and side steps (well, I
guess the stereo upgrade too, but it does sound rather nice). I took
both of them off weeks ago. Is it possible to order a Sport with the
lower-grade stereo, I wonder?
