Welp the time has come. Went to our local Jeep dealership. Come to find out, they can’t come close to the offers on Carvana. So we have a brand new Gladiator Rubicon picked out on Carvana. They are picking up my JL Wrangler sport and then I will use that money as a down payment for the Gladiator. Hopefully by Monday I’ll have a Gladiator in my garage. The truck in the picture is the one we are trying to get.

That is great always surprised when local dealers do not go out of their way to beat or at least offer to match a price. I took my Jeep in to one of the local dealerships for an oil change that had just been purchased by Carvana it seemed well run the only concern i would have is if they do not have examples of various models, and trims to test out to compare the seating, suspension, tires and other options it may have been like that due to it just recently becoming a Carvana lot.

Congrats, Hope it fits in your garage. I learned after the fact mine wouldn’t fit so it became a driveway vehicle, which was always reserved for my wife’s vehicle 😂
It will fit in our garage. Ours is pretty deep
I thought Carvana only had used vehicles.
i did too but come to find out they have brand new Gladiators

You might want to checkout the TrailRecon YouTube channel. The guy on there just bought a gladiator like this one; his adventures off-road and pulling his trailer are interesting.

I didn't know Carvana sold brand new Jeeps, they have a pretty good select of Rubicon X and Mojave X JT's with about $9,500 off sticker. Wonder what their dealer mark-ups (rip-off charges) are compared to most local dealers, anyone know?

I have seen his channel and videos. He definitely has some cool content.
