Default National Jeep Dealers

One of the problems with the Jeep web site is it's limited to searching dealers around your zip code. Given the shortage of supply of Rubicons, does anyone know of a dealer with good stock who ships nationally? Are there any dealers out there reading our forum?

The Jeep website also does not show all the dealerships, only thse that have paid to be listed, there are several in AZ that do not show up, usually they are smaller dealers, but can fly under the redar and have something in stock.

Sorry, I don't know of anyone that advertises nationally, but if a dealer has one in stock, usually your local dealership will sell it to them, then you can buy it off the local dealer, but be prepared to pay a little more.

Go to the advanced search tab. You can "force" it to search in a larger radius or enter a different zip code and then a specified radius around that zip code. It's a bit of work but you can get what you want. try using a zip code for a large metro area. i.e Denver, St. Louis, NYC etc.

If you build the jeep you want first. Then click search inventory. Then click advanced. It will sort the results by the most comparable to what you want and you will only have to look at the top 1 or 2 jeeps on any site. I spent several hours in 06 looking through 1500 jeep sites to find a few close to what I wanted.

Too bad it just won't show you where the vehicle you want is located like some of the other dealer sites. Jeep doesn't have a very good web site. I think they just want to make sure you call your local dealer.

Nope, the web site only shows 5-Star dealers, and they do not have to pay to be listed.
