Purple Wrangler (reign?)

[ShadowsPapa]

I showed my wife a picture of a "purple Wrangler" and now I have orders to see if any exist and where and how much. Great - it was a very very limited run of that color so you can't order them and no dealers seem to have them.
Sahara, (4 door of course) safety and advanced safety, ACC, and so on, BODY COLOR hard top and so on.
Can't use the Jeep site (it's lame trying to find any on lots anyway, the filters never work right).

More fun than a Sahara

3.6 for us.
Besides, that's only 30K over budget.
Remember, my wife likes comfort and bells and whistles, not gas stations.
I'm already likely to need to put steps on a Wrangler for her.

Took this pic at Bluebonnet Jeep in New Braunfels Texas recently. I love the color

$2700 to paint a black Wrangler roof body color..........

This is the pic I sent her, problem is that it's lacking safety equipment - the black roof could be overcome with some cash.

Good luck. I searched my area out to 250 miles for reign Sahara Wranglers with the matching color top and there is a handful, but nothing with the ACC and safety group.

That's what we were running into - nothing with safety group, ACC, etc. which sort of goes against Sahara but then it's a Wrangler and likely most were ordered without that.

It also did not help those systems were constraint items and dealers built out what they could get.

Good point, I'd forgotten about that.

Has safety group but no acc. Nice Wrangler though. Somewhere in mid Tennessee.

Thanks.
Just found out my wife doesn't really care about the ACC - as long as there's the other safety group stuff. (park assist, BSM, and so on)

Here ya go @ShadowsPapa. Didn't have time to peruse them all, but they're the right color.

When we started looking for my wife's Wrangler, we found a Snazzberry one with matched fenders and roof. I did not have ACC nor LED lights but everything else. It's a 4 so it has decent gas mileage. She never takes it off the pavement. I do wish it had the adaptive cruise and LED light group though. The wife doesn't care.....

P.S. The New Mexico Motor vehicle division calls the color purple....

Maybe see if you can find one in any color and try to talk them down about 5k in value. And then spend 5k on a wrap?
Maybe?

Rats, yesterday was a looong day, had to strip some powdercoating due to a boo-boo and do two parts over and I was frustrated and not thinking right.
To get the auto high beam one must have the advanced safety group.
And making it worse, I totally forgot about my wife's handicap and forgot she would required the Selec-Trac transfer case so in winter I could put it in 4H auto and leave it for her. She can't manipulate that lever while driving. She can drive a short-throw 4 or 5 speed, like my T5 and did great with my Comanche 5 speed but no way on the t-case.

So I guess we're screwed. There's zip out there with safety groups AND the Selec-Trac (or the Rubicon version of the full-time t-case)
Dang dang - she asked me AGAIN this am - "did you find me a purple Jeep??"
Crap, I had to text her that picture.

There's no way to find a Wrangler with Selec-Trac and safety groups and cold weather group. They don't exist. and I'm in the dog house.

BTW - my sales guy told me something interesting yesterday- he said that if they special ordered a Jeep for a customer and the customer backed out, that vehicle didn't often automatically show up in their inventory. Jeeps ordered for their lot showed up automatically, apparently Jeep does that. But it's assume that the one ordered for a customer is gone, not on the lot, so won't show up in searches. He knew one they had was a result of a customer backing out - he knew it was there but had to use other means to get the info on it.
