What is your status code? Mine went KZOA and apparently that quality audit is taking 3 weeks

Jeep Chat said my status is KZ.

Current chat with Jeep. Pretty excited. This happened quicker than I expected.

My window sticker has a date of 9/25. It went into KZ status right after that. Dealer initially thought delivery could be as early as 9/27 (Chicago suburbs). Still waiting for it to show up. Very impatiently waiting.

Well found out I'm on the train from Nitro Creek. 3 stupid weeks later. Guess its heading towards Selkirk which is just south of Albany. One would think that shipment from Ohio to Albany would be a day, then from Albany to CT is a 2 hour drive. Estimated arrival is 10/16! So painful.

How many pending status categories are there. I am in F-Paint.

Hey all, my Gladiator went into KZS status last Wednesday. Should be here to Maryland soon. Can't wait.

Lots of luck mine has been in Jessup Maryland since 10/2 and hasn't delivered to Criswell yet on 10/9

Update, might be interesting to folks in KZ status.

Mine went into KZ status on 10/3. Dealer looked at shipment status and he thinks it'll be scheduled for the next train that'll arrive at the train yard about 20 miles away on 10/13. He estimated 10 days from arrival before they get it on a car carrier out to his lot. Longer from the build to delivery than I anticipated but I'm glad to understand the process. Thought it might help other folks in KZ pulling their hair out waiting on delivery of their built Gladiators.

Mine has been at the Jessup Maryland staging area since 10/2 still waiting for it to be delivered to Criswell as of today 10/9

How much money does the dealer get back when the Tread Lightly Discount is used? example. MSRP is $54K, but 1% below invoice is $50k. How much of that $4k do they get back?

As I understand it for the affiliate discounts, you get 1% under and the dealer gets paid 1%. So technically "2%" gets paid by the manufacturer.

Interesting. Ok. So the theory of them getting paid back to MSRP is not correct. So any further discounting like 3% or 4% below invoice is soley at disrection of the dealer.

There is the MSRP. Which, as the acronym suggests, is the manufacturer's SUGGESTED retail price. Then you have an invoice price. Then there is the employee price. The dealer also has their hold back amount. Play with these numbers as best you can and you can generally arrive a pretty good deal. Mine came out around 11-12% below MSRP if I remember correctly.

The way I look at it, you should be guaranteed to be 1% below invoice. It's not always the case because a lot of dealers don't want to play ball and won't participate in the manufacturer-sponsored program. If the dealer won't start there, on to the next dealer. Anything beyond that 1% is negotiation with the dealer (or as a lot here on the forums have discovered, dealers will just straight offer 5% below without question). I'm heading up to Atlanta here shortly to hopefully get mine this weekend!

Mine got to the staging area on 9/17. Sat there until 10/9. Saying expected to get to Connecticut on 10/16. PAINFUL

Oh and I ordered the stupid thing on June 6th!
