Sorry I didn't see this sooner (haven't been on the boards much lately) but I'll tell you what I did and since I am also in Travis County you might try this as well. I started by trying to make an appointment online and couldn't find any availability for at least a month so I called them. Told...
Just picked up my new Rubicon with the manual on the 19th and I'm extremely impressed with it. I am able to run 80 with ease whereas the '16 JKU Sahara that I just sold would be screaming at me anywhere over 70 - product of a higher gear ratio I guess. I also had a '10 JKU Rubicon but it had...
Here you go…
I like your idea of a meetup from a page or two back. We should try to make that happen. I’m only an hour from Hidden Falls, that would work well if anyone is coming this direction.
As you know from the other thread, I picked mine up on Saturday and went through Gupton. It was seamless. I do all of my banking with RBFCU and will refi through them once I've satisfied the obligation to Gupton.
I had intended to take pics but Renee got me processed and ready to go so fast that I forgot. It's funny, the whole thing is kind of a blur. They don't have a big lot and it was over-flowing.
I picked mine up this morning and I can confirm that the rumors are true - Renee is awesome. The whole process was the best I’ve ever experienced (and I’ve bought more vehicles than I care to admit). She said they have a ton of vehicles coming in all at once (was a little stressed about it)...
I’ve got a good friend that’s the GM at 2 dealerships here and the best he could do was invoice. I’m saving roughly $3500 buying from Gupton after the $499 doc fee. He told me he didn’t know how they’re doing it but I should jump on it.
It happened for me (finally)! Got the email from Renee a few hours ago that my truck had finally arrived (after almost 5 weeks in 'shipping'). I will be there at 8am on Saturday to pick it up so if anyone gets the good news and wants a pic, let me know.
Two questions for y'all.
1. What is the procedure for getting your truck registered, any taxes paid, etc etc once you got back home?
2. For anyone who financed through Gupton recently, what kind of interest rate did you get? Hopefully mine shows up before the fed prices me out of it. ;)
Ordered 1/3 from Gupton, been in ship status since 2/11, latest ETA is 3/15-3/23. The delay is frustrating, shortage of trucks I assume. I would think they order enough and they're close enough to the factory that it would speed things up on the shipping side - obviously not.
