Default Jeepless In Chicago

I went to get a new 2014 Wrangler to replace my very much loved 2011 Wrangler.

Due to issues with the new 2014 I had to return it. I am a man without a jeep.

Might take 2 weeks before I see my replacment jeep.

I guess it is possible to be addicted to your jeep, I might have to have an intervention.

Items on the sticker were missing on the Jeep. The most notable was the connectivity group. Something that I want and need and have on my "lower end" Wranger.

They called and told me it would be 6 weeks as it has to be built. I think I am just going to pick up my perfectly good 2011 jeep back up.

be careful about picking that 2011 back up.. if ownership was already transfered to the dealer and then back to you, that will show events on carfax.. and may also make you liable for extra taxes if not careful..

if that vehicle was under a bank Note the bank may want to start your loan all over again and create a "new sale"....
be sure to check these things out before you just tell the dealer to give it back to you..

Now if the dealer wishes to take ownership of it and issue it back to you as a loaner while your new jeep is built that can happen...

the other thing is that Chrysler can "fast-track" a new build for you... when I lemon-lawed my 2008 wrangler, they Fast-tracked me a new 2009 Build.. and it was pushed through very quickly.. less than 2 weeks from the time they submitted the order till the Jeep was at my dealer..

edit: i forgot to mention that when I was buying my 13 a few weeks ago.. I ran across one dealer that had the wrong window sticket in the windshield.. Connectivity group and alpine audio were on the sticker.. and clearly not in the jeep.. i easily spotted it.. then compared dashboard VIN to sticker VIN and noted a difference... whether purposeful or not, it was too sly for a coincidence in my mind...
