Did you see my markup pic from them ?!
Honestly it sounds like they are doing the usual
shit, especially considering how much shit you went through to lock the offer in ...
If I was buying a JL I’d idaho potatoes and all
More than likely they agreed to your deal before realizing how much they could markup. You're at the bottom of their priority list because there's not much in the deal.
Yeah, that is exactly what was in my head when I was talking to the guy yesterday.
This dealership works very strange... the main guy I bought my JKU from was the initial contact again. On the JKU and the JLU he started the deal, then handed me off to another person to finalize the deal and make the sale. Each time, the guy he handed me off to seemed pretty "dopey" and unsure of himself, even though they both claimed to be on the job at this dealer for about a year.
The guy yesterday was talking in circles and mentioned not having allocation when we specifically talked about it and I told him up front I have ordered cars before and I know how this system works. I told him I wasn't going to proceed if they don't have allocations and he said he checked with the GM and there was no problem...
Yesterday it went like this (removing all the repeating words from him):
Him: "Hi, I'm sorry, we don't have any allocations right now, but you are on the top of the list at #1. If you're not happy you're free to buy from another dealer that might not have any allocations either.... We're #1 and Jeep loves us, so we have the most."
Me: "Well, I specifically asked if you had an allocation for an order last week and you said yes... Will you have one for this coming week?"
Him: "We don't know, they don't tell us. Hopefully this coming week or next."
Me: "That's not how this works. Now, my experience has been ordering from Chevrolet, but I have to assume that CDJR does it very similar. There is a thing called Consensus which tells the dealer the closest estimate of allocations and when they will be available for the dealer. They may have constraints due to options, but overall your GM knows how many of what model they can order every week for the coming months. You're not telling me you have a constraint, you're saying you don't have an allocation right now. You're also telling me that you don't know when you will have one which I don't think is completely accurate. I'd like to hope you're not feeding me shit here (jokingly laugh) and your GM just isn't telling you the facts."
Him: "That's all I know."
Me: "Well, please talk to your GM and find out for sure, I don't play games like this and I'm not going to be the moron that sits with a deposit placed and no allocated order. Also, the last invoice sheet you sent me doesn't seem to indicate my deposit paid. Please correct this and email me a new one."
Him: "Okay, I will do that. Sorry I didn't respond before, I've been having family issues I needed to take care of."
Me: "I'll wait for the email, I hope your family is okay."
Him: "Thanks, I appreciate it. I'll email you in the morning."
I lost all confidence I had left in this deal at that point. My wife is kinda pissed right now and suggested not buying the Jeep at all until shit settles down and then just do the Idaho thing for a late summer pickup on a 2019.
