Yes it is, I had a deposit down with Travis @ Tri City, but this dealer shocked me and said they would match or beat any offer. So I went with them since they are within 10 miles of home
I have a contact at Wyler who takes care a ton of us Mopar addicts lol. The Gladiator was the first vehicle they wouldn't move a ton on.

Yeah spoke with Wyler also, they were not interested in beating competition pricing. Oh well, I had messaged like 50 dealers in the Midwest/ east coast trying to find some one closer than Travis. I was super happy to have one close by be competitive. Didn't see the buy out coming, neither did the employees. So can't blame them.

Assuming you're referring to Lebanon CJDR. My buddy Billy was up there and just left recently, maybe he knew what was coming.

I'm not saying your right, but I'm not saying your wrong

Did you lose your deposit with Travis?
Maybe give him another chance.

I didn't loose the deposit, I got it back once I decided where I was placing my order.

I'm thinking about it, Just have to decide, do I wait out the bumper shortage, order without the steel bumper, or the unicorn option of maybe Jeep Cares stepping in and saving the day.

I wanted the steel bumper as well but it's not a deal breaker for me. Easy enough to order one from Mopar Parts Online or the equivalent and install myself. I can't get any local dealers to even respond to my requests for pricing an ordered Gladiator. They are all full of shizzit. They are all trying to tell me this vehicle is in such high demand that they are selling them over MSRP. Whatever! One of the dealers now has 1 Rubicon, 2 Overlands, and 2 Sports on their lot. They haven't sold one yet and have had their first Gladiator which is an Overland on the lot for 3 weeks now. So I will more than likely be making an 11 hour trip to NC to see Travis for my Gladiator once I decide on which color and options I want.

Sorry to hear of this news @DanOnTheCob. Yours is a great build. You will eventually get the one you want. Sucks ...for now!

so will just get pushed to another dealer with allocation?

Placed an order back on 4/29 (non-LE) JTR, VIN assigned 5/14, D statused. Just got a call from the dealer, they got bought out from another dealership and my order is cancelled. :crying:

The worst part is I don't get to keep my spot in line and have to re-order from the new company. They are still giving me EP on the JT, but now I can't order what I want due to the Steel Bumper Shortage. They aren't willing to sell me one later at the order price either. They said there is no ETA when the bumper will come available again, so now I will have to wait for that or settle for one without. Or wait it out with the Gator Boys/Gals.

I need comfort and words of encouragement, LOL
WTF? that blows, Jeep doesn't just transfer your order to the nearest Jeep dealer? boo hoo

words of encouragement!

I hope I didn't give wrong impression here. Despite brand loyalty; have no affiliation with Jeep/FCA.

1) in my mind VIN is like SSN. we all have a number.
2) what happens with that number once created??

Hi DanOnTheCob,
We are very sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. Unforeseeable circumstances caused this dealership to be bought out, however, it is common practice for orders to be cancelled once the dealership changes hands. Dealerships are independently owned and operated, so we recommend continuing to work with this dealership. If you would like to try ordering at another dealership, we would be happy to connect you with other dealerships in your area!
