Anyone know how long the plant is going to be shut down for? I found out that my Jeep is on the production line, which I don't know why that is. I ordered it on April 13th. My sales guy said it's in the (D1) spot on the line, anyone know what that is?

 

I do not think even Chrysler knows for sure when they will go back in production, though I saw someone say its closing plant for a month but with the bankruptcy I bet a lot can happen to change that. here are the codes and what they mean, they are in the stick at the top of this section

SO ITS NOT BEING BUILT YET, I would seriously look around or have the dealer look for something that is close to what your ordered, you could be waiting a long time

 

He lied to me, I'm going to call him. Thanks tfob1060 for your help with the codes.

 

Rubi for X do it man DO IT

 

All orders are in D-1 status, yes they're going to be built just not anytime soon. The dealer here said anywhere from one month to three months depending on how the bankruptcy and selling to Fiat goes. At this point the dealership's looking around for an equivilent JK for me as we speak.

 

Why don't you try to find a used or one that is on the lot right now? I got my '07 Sahara UNL in Jan. with only 8000 miles on it for about $8000 less than stealership had new for. I paid $20K

 

Better to be in D status than anywhere else right now. If your unit was stuck on the line, it would be sitting under a greasy chain getting dripped on.

 

Man, I'm sorry. I think the others are right about the wait. Try the search on the Jeep website to see if you can find what you want -- sometimes the dealers don't know how to do that for some reason. Your dealer might be able to do a trade with wherever you find one.

 

x2 on the used. I got my used 07 X for $12k with a $2k trade in and 10k miles on it. I've spent maybe 2k on it and it's a little less than halfway to my first level of completion (nearly Rubi quality).

 

It's possible that he didn't so much Lie as just Ignorant as to what "D-1" means . That and being depressed over the possibility of losing his only sale of the month.
