My question is how long from the time your Gladiator arrived at Gupton how long was it until you where contacted to do the paperwork and finance part of the deal? I think its been over two and a half weeks since mine was delivered but i havent been contacted. I think its normal because the amount of jeeps that arrived before mine probably cause him a long delay. Just curious what your experience was. Thanks in advance ( i was told by someone who works there that they will contact me i dont have to do anything)

You gotta be proactive and bug them or you will sit. I emailed them to put my lift on gave them a week. Then I just flew in to 1.5 hours to do the pw. Had to do it 2x cause I added my dad to my title so either one of us can sell it/ get reg stickers if I'm out of town. The other 2 guys kinda did what I did told them I'll be there at a date. They're nice enough, but they are small and only do online sales for the most part it seems. My jeep had some grease on the paint but nothing major. And no Gupton stickers or license plate holders

lol its been a bit slow... The dealership contacted me finally last week about sending in my DL, treadlightly stuff and the link to apply for finance. I was contacted today saying they are extremely busy and are sorry that i will be contacted soon with an APR offer on a 60 month and a 72 month period. Also my shipper called today and said they are still unsure when a truck will be headed this way but to contact them when the Gladiator is free and clear to be picked up and they will try and expedite things. Im fine with it so far, the money they saved me vs. buying off the lot was immense and not to mention i got to order it the way i wanted.

Im having fun with it. Took the tops off for the first time today. But I am seeing if I can indeed sell it for 70k cause if I can.... then Im not gonna do any modding sell it, and then order another one asap/ whenever I can order gecko green again!! I mean shit you gonna give me 15k for driving this thing home I will take it and not look back. Or or I'll keep this one start modding it and order another one to sell, and if prices start to fall I'll sell this one and take the one that I order next.

They only have 2 or 3 people that handle the deliveries so they get overwhelmed VERY easily.

For me I think it was maybe 2 or 3 days after my Gladiator arrived at Gupton before I got the email from Renee for scheduling. I strongly advise going during the weekdays - weekends there are a zoo.

I do know that some weeks they get 75+ Jeeps dropped on them. Prepping and getting all of those out the door is a lot, especially for a small dealer like Gupton.
