longer,
about 4 to 6 weeks."
Get everything in writing. Don't count on getting your Jeep in time
for the rebate. You might be lucky like the guy above and get it in 12
days or the usual 4 to 6 weeks or like mine which took 3 months from
time of order till delivery!

I ordered my Jeep in July of '00 and it was finally delivered in the
beginning of that October. It actually worked out pretty good since I
was going to store it at a relative's place and pick it up in mid
October during my vacation, and instead I just picked it up at the
dealer but it could have seriously screwed with my plans if it had taken
any longer. The problem was with an option I had ordered so switching
dealers wouldn't have gotten it there any quicker.

Re: Order Jeep -> Lose Rebate??
Well I contacted the dealer that has the best local price and emailed him
asking about the terms. He stated in his email that they will honor the
rebate and if a better rebate comes along then they will give it to me. He
said that often a better rebate will come along. That's what I wanted to
hear and that's what I will have them put in the contract when I hand over
my check. I'm printing out the string of emails just in case he has
short-term amnesia.
Thanks, guys.

Re: Order Jeep -> Lose Rebate??
Exactly. You never know if they have my configuration sitting on a train
waiting till the day after the rebate expires to call me and tell me its
arrived so i can "take delivery" of it.
I know I know theres a certain amount of trust involved but the dealer is in
business to make money.
