Work has been crazy, but I’ve been checking in here for news every once and a while—it’s gotten much more interesting in the last few days. Anyways, I recall there was a post about general interest for the JT and how many people planned on purchasing. Now that we’re closer to the moment of truth, I’m truly curious to see how many of the folks on here will shit or get off the pot.
This isn’t meant to ridicule anyone (well only a little) that won’t be going straight to their dealer on the day order banks open to put a deposit down, but more to understand the majority of people on here.
In my mind, how many of the people going back and forth over theoretical pricing will end up purchasing on day one, the next year, next two years? That same sort of thinking may apply to all of the other arguments that draw people in.
Forums tend to gather extremely likeminded people, or people who want to discuss products/goods with others who purchased the same items. Jeep people are really a mix of both, so I’m interested to see the responses from folks who are serious about purchasing ASAP, those who would like to but their circumstances don’t quite align, and those who really just want to discuss JT topics because it’s a fun thing to do with a good group of folks on this forum (even that guy who bought the Tacoma is still good people!)
From my own perspective after only a few weeks of being active on here, you’d think every registered Jeep Gladiator Forum member, minus the 17 people who’ve publicly said otherwise, will be lining up at the dealer to place their order, at 7% below invoice (seemingly more important than what the invoice actually is), to wait the agreed 3 months before towing all of the things (most don’t tow now, but we all definitely will after we max out a trailer full of plywood because it never fit in the bed). Sarcasm aside, to each their own; just want to see what a few of your decisions/criteria really are.
