First--apologize for not checking the ordering thread before making my post yesterday--there was a ton of information (mostly depressing) there.
My situation is an Unlimited X ordered about 6 weeks ago and in "BG" status.

General sense from list is that I will not be getting an 07 and will have to re-order and go for an 08 and start the process all over--right?

Dealer said production had stopped--yet Jeep certainly left me with impression that the order was still in the pipeline--even though in only BG status.

Is anyone able to place an 08 order yet? Any thoughts/experience/dealer feedback on this? Any idea of when one can do this--or is this up to the particular dealership as to when they will accept orders?

Anyone been able to keep a current order in effect (remember I do not have a deposit down on it) and place another back up order for an 08--assuming that the 07 will get cancelled in the near future?

I did not have to put down a deposit--is that normal--or maybe a part of the Sams Club deal I went with---500 over invoice.

Wanted to run this by the forum before I go do battle with the dealer.

thanks

2007 Production has not stopped, it will continue until July 6. 2007 Orders are no longer being accepted as of May 11. 2008 Orders will start being accepted June 11 (estimated date). 2008 Production will begin July 23 (est).

The latest word is that unfilled 2007 orders need to be manually re-submitted as 2008 orders, they won't roll over automatically in the order system (although there are still DCX employees who say it will be automatic).

Since you've ordered an X, you won't have as long to wait as those who've ordered Rubicon Unlimiteds.
