Has anyone used this yet in picking up their new GW/W from a dealership? If so, what was your experience?

I would if I could, but I can’t 😢. Mine is due in between last Saturday and the 19th.

I did see a GW3 this weekend at a park. I had such envy. This couple tried to order an Escalade but was told it could take up to a year (yikes!). So, like anyone else, they just meandered into the Jeep dealership and bought the GW3….and paid below MSRP!! 😳😳. I’m not going to say I’m jealous but…totally was. Anyway. I did a brief walk around. I didn’t see any trim alignment issues, paint swirls, or anything on the exterior that would be alarming. I asked a few probing questions and it seems like they haven’t encountered any issues 🤞🏻. No, I didn’t ask to see their build date - I’m odd but not a weirdo.
Also, they bought at a competitor Jeep dealer from mine so now I have some intel to haggle

Nice, good to see the trim and other exterior items appeared positive and same with their lack of problem commentary.

Hum, didn't know it was considered weird to ask about Build Date, maybe using Born On date like I do is OK?

Always good to get insight on dealing. Did your dealership provide you a build sheet to sign and a pricing readout? Mine did, let me know FFP, Employee, etc. pricing since I started at their Invoice price on my offer. 😁 Looking forward to seeing how the 'Inventory only' incentive of 2k can we used for those of us who ordered.

Hope your vehicle arrives this Friday. Not that it would be a nice coincidence or anything with the day... Okay, not a 'Good' pun...

Updated list, originally from @Dwagoneer and @Dahammer plus many other members across the forum.


Updated list for recent members to use as well. Every one has been addressed with TSBs and CSBs, however if you are purchasing a vehicle that as already on the lot, the Dealer may not have done or been able to do those fixes. I combined the two lists above so we can keep a single post to print out and take with us when we get our new vehicles. 😁

  • Have to cycle through sources to get it to come back.
