No, you are right. It is a modern engine, but not as complex as many of the motors coming out in even fairly “pedestrian” cars. High compression doesn’t mean it’s complex.

You are absolutely right. Every dealer creates their own business model. You either take it or leave it!

In addition to the doc fee, which is 100% profit, dealers get rewarded by the manufacture for volume. Quite handsomely at that. Push volume and keep your footprint small is a good business model.

It’s almost hard to keep up with all the new restaurants that pop up in St. Louis. We have two things, Cardinals baseball and food. Lol. Pappy’s is a staple in St. Louis, but a lot of people are gravitating to some newer names on the block. Salt + Smoke is getting a lot of press. The Beast (just...

Are you looking for just BBQ recommendation? I live near St. Louis and I can give you a couple.

Everyone is assuming buyers are knowledgeable about the buying process. We are upset with our local dealers when they can’t match one of the volume dealers. Most buyers don’t travel to get a vehicle for the best price. They want convenience. They go to their local dealer and pay what they are...

The dealer could give more accurate information on what part the vehicle is in on the delivery stage. This is what I got from Jeep Chat yesterday: From Jeep Chat: I can see your order is in the shipping stage! It will remain in this stage until it arrives at your dealership. We have a delivery...

I ordered my Mojave on July 20th and received word on Wednesday that it is in the shipping stage. Reading several of the build threads, I see a pattern on a couple things. First, sport models seem to have the longest build process. Secondly, people who order from smaller dealers that don’t work...

Build sheet means it had been built, window sticker means it is ready or has been shipped, correct?

I’m shocked. They are two miles from my work. They offer slight discounts, but nothing like Gupton.

You can tell Gupton is all about online orders. They only have three salespeople listed on their website. So they aren’t selling too much off their lot. In addition, dealers get financially awarded for meeting a certain volume quota. You can also bet that these dealers that push volume get...

It must be the Jeep Safety group holding you up. Ordered mine on 7/20 with similar options as you minus the safety package and upgraded stereo and mine is due to ship this Friday.

What is your trim level and options?

Yes I did. You send him your build and he provides a breakdown of pricing, including 6% pricing, 7% pricing with the tread lightly discount and the %8 discount with TL and financing through him. Once you order through him, he sends a VON pretty quickly. I got my VIN from Jeep Chat three days...

I’m across the river from St. Louis in southern Illinois. I ordered my Mojave from Daniel on July 20th and has an expected ship date on August 20th. I’m not going to hold my breath until my Mojave is parked in my garage. There are many speculations about chip delays and the impact on particular...

You can build your gladiator to your specs on Jeep.com and then save it as a PDF on the site. You send the PDF to Daniel and he will reply with pricing.

I spoke with Daniel today and my Mojave (ordered on 7/20) has an estimated ship date of 8/20. Let’s hope that happens.

I’m betting it’s your fan. They are notoriously loud on the JL. Sounds like a jet taking off.

Try Carmax. They were higher for me on two out of the three cars I sold recently.

Run it through Carmax or Carvana. You’ll get a pretty good idea, minus the aftermarket parts you put on your truck. Wranglers/gladiators are the only vehicle where you can add aftermarket parts and typically increase its value.
