After my post last night, I sat down, had a few beers, and relaxed my mind. But, today is a new day and we will see if my $40K investment (yes, the Jeep is completely paid for) arrives today. If not, it might take more than a few beers to relax me this time around.
It seems that the dealer has lost complete interest in getting this Jeep here. My salesman told me that all he can do now is sit and wait.

Again, thanks for the support!!!
I don't drink anymore but the whole beer drinking thing made me chuckle!!! Yeah I wouldn't sweat it... as stated before its on its way and it might be another day or few hours longer... but very much worth it. Make you enjoy it that much further.

Drive safely!!!!

Your salesman is right though. As much as they want to, they can't rush the Jeep through shipment. They're at the mercy of the process just like you! :(

He's to hoping it arrives today!!

You do realize that dealers don't particularly like check writers. They make more money on finance deals (finance reserves, running rate, etc).

I was referring to the poster of the comment I quoted. Just a little something I learned from the 7 years I was in the car business as a manager.

Ordered my new JK on Thursday July 12th, finalized order on July 13th. Just received my VIN# today and is in D status. Not sure how long it will take, but I'm hoping sooner rather than later!
Same JK as mine is now, except getting an auto, plus added a few extras:

Rubicon 2Dr Dozer
4:10 gears
Automatic
Deep Tinted Hard Top
Tow
Connectivity
Heated Seats
Remote Start

Can't wait!!!

Well guys, I didnt see the Jeep again today, but I did get some good news.
I called Jeep this afternoon on my way home and they had told me that the Jeep left the Memphis facility today at 5:30pm.
I have a strong feeling that it will arrive tomorrow!!!!

Not sure how far the Memphis facility is from you but you may want to remember that they have to prep the vehicle... which means they'll have to inspect it to ensure there was no damage in-shipment... then put on any remaining items that are normally shipped disassembled... and make sure all that is supposed to go with the vehicle is either in or with the vehicle. So something to keep in mind is if your Jeep is still on the rails it still needs to be dropped off at the depot, prepped, then trucked to the dealer (which probably has its own prepping process - i.e. wash it etc... ).

Mine was in-town at the depot but took like 3 days to get to the lot and the dealer finally had it ready for delivery.

Patience at this point is a key factor. You know its coming... don't pull your hair over it... let the wind do that when you take the top off for the first time. LOL
