Help!
I ordered a Jeep Rubicon on April 20th. I was told it was going to take
anywhere between 4-6 weeks for delivery. They made me give a $500.00
deposit--maybe deposit isn't the right word--I had to give them my credit
card number to make sure that I was serious about this purchase. 4-6 weeks
seemed like a looong time, but I was willing to go for it, after all I've
been patiently waiting for my first Jeep for 30 years.
When I ordered the Jeep, the dealer added $600 to the original deal we had
on a Jeep that he said he could get for me out of Texas, because he said the
MSRP went up. He couldn't get that Jeep so we decided to order.
The Jeep was offered to me with a $2000 cash back and 3.9% financing at EP.
The problems:
I talked to the dealer 2 weeks ago and asked if they knew when my Jeep would
arrive. They said it is currently in b1 status--or something like that--it
is built it has a vin # and everything. It should be shipped in the next
few days. It should be here in 2 weeks. GREAT!
I talked to the dealer today (2 weeks later) and asked "When will my Jeep
get here?" It's been 7 weeks since I ordered it.
The dealer said, "I just talked to Chrysler, the Jeep is in b1 status and
they will ship it July 2nd."
July 2nd!?! WTF, that's 4 weeks from today plus another 2 weeks for it to
ship! That's 6 weeeks from now! Not only that, but as of June 30th the
$2000 rebate will be obsolete. Couple that with skyrocketing APR I'll be
paying thousands more than the original deal. I'm || this close to
canceling my Jeep, but will they will keep my $500??
The dealer said "Well maybe the rebate will be $3000 in July!" I called his
bluff and said, "No way, you and I both know that Jeep Wrangler sales are
way up, and there is more demand than supply right now, there is no way that
the rebate will still be available to me in July."
I don't get it. I reeeeeally want this Jeep, but I cannot afford to pay
that much more for a Jeep. I'm a little upset right now, I know that there
are some dealers on this ng, and I was hoping to get some inside advice.
Should I tell the dealer..."If I don't get my Jeep for exactly what we
agreed on I will cancel my order." The only problem then is the $500--that
and I lose the Jeep of my dreams. The dealership is effectively 7 weeks off
on their original guesstimation of when the new Jeep would arrive. I would
not have ordered the jeep if I knew it would take 3 months to get here. way
too much can happen in 3 months.
I have fulfilled my part of the bargain I waited more than the originally
stated 4-6 week delivery, they keep changing the deal. Will I lose 500
bones? What can I do to save them? If I would have bought my Jeep from
Jeepwarehouse in the first place there probably wouldn't have been any
problems. But now I am stuck with higher interest rates and possibly no
rebate.
What would you do? I don't want to lose this Jeep, but I honestly cannot
afford it if things go the way it looks like their going.

Inform your credit card company that you did not receive what you were
supposed to for your $500 and they will make sure you don't get charged for
it. The dealer is jerking you around. The only question is, did you sign
anything saying that the $500 is non-refundable? If not, then you shouldn't
have a problem.

Have you gone to the dealership in person? That has much more of an impact
than any phone call. Especially if it's in the showroom where other potential
customers can hear the complaints.
At this point you could call DC customer satisfaction and discuss this problem
with them. For extra effect, call the dealer and ask them for the phone number
and explain why you want it. :)
As Chris says, if your going to exit the deal, tell the credit card company
and have any charge reversed (or at least put in dispute).
Remember, you negotiated a price and paid money in good faith. That's a
contract. The dealer can not change terms without your permission otherwise
they breach the contract and your free to walk. Don't know your pension for
lawyers but if you have a legal friend this could be interesting. That or
the local "in your corner" news reporter.

Have you gone to the dealership in person? That has much more of an impact
than any phone call. Especially if it's in the showroom where other potential
customers can hear the complaints.
At this point you could call DC customer satisfaction and discuss this problem
with them. For extra effect, call the dealer and ask them for the phone number
and explain why you want it. :)
As Chris says, if your going to exit the deal, tell the credit card company
and have any charge reversed (or at least put in dispute).
Remember, you negotiated a price and paid money in good faith. That's a
contract. The dealer can not change terms without your permission otherwise
they breach the contract and your free to walk. Don't know your pension for
lawyers but if you have a legal friend this could be interesting. That or
the local "in your corner" news reporter.
