Default VIN Number Help

I filled out the paperwork (and put down a $1k deposit) to order a 2012 Rubicon Unlimited on 7/20. The salesman said the order actually went through "a few days later". I have asked him for the specific order date and/or a VIN number. He says that it was definitley ordered, he'll look into the date/VIN but he seems overly annoyed and I feel like I am getting the runaround. He says it takes a while to get the VIN.

Anyway, let's say the order went in on Friday 7/22 or even Monday 7/25, shouldn't I have VIN by now? Some people on here look like they had theirs in mere days or a week. is there any other way to obtain the VIN other than the dealer? I called Chrysler customer service and they said they couldn't help me.

I am not looking to start world war 3 and go over the sales guys head/ask to speak with a manager if it does indeed take a while to get the VIN...but I also don't want him to blow me off if I should have it by now.

So should I have one by now? Thoughts?

I have done some searching and ACE seems to have some that really look nice. Any other thoughts?
Poison Spyder makes weld on steps for Rubi rails.

My VIN came 4 days after my order but I think it varies. I wouldn't think it should take more than a week. Shoot an email to the sales manager and ask. Their name should be on the dealer website or just call and ask for the manager. They shouldn't be annoyed with you for being excited about your new Jeep.

Had my VIN in less than 1 week. Were you provided with a VON #? If so, you can call Chrysler and they can confirm if the order went through and provide you with the VIN #.

Mine was ordered late on 8/2/11 and when I stopped by on the 5th they had my VIN#. I don't know how long it takes from then to go to D1. Heck,, you might already be there, then think how good you will feel

Pretty sure this is Dozer. Looks like the J7 color sorta. Though I heard that was going to be "crush". Hard to get a read on it, all the painted plastic is throwing me off.

I suppose that is dozer, since they won;t start painting crush until 8/22. Nice color, but it may clash with my yellow XJ. I prefer the black top & flares.

Wow, you made my night, thanks for posting that! I'm guessing it's Dozer since you can't order Crush yet, but it sure looks more orange than yellow in the bright sun.
