Ordering Question
I ordered my JK Unlimited last week (currently in D status) and my dealer says it should be here around the end of June.
We have agreed on a price, including the $750 owner loyalty rebate, but nothing is in writing (except emails).
The dealer says everything is cool, but since I have never ordered a Vehicle I am not sure if there is anything else I should do. I am getting a good deal. The Jeep's MSRP is $27300 and I am getting it for $24195 which is below edmunds invoice and Chrysler E.P. so I want to make sure he doesn't try to pull one over on me.
Do you have any thoughts?

Just watch what you sign. Can't stress that enough. Make sure you look at every paper. The dealer I bought from slipped in a $300 window etching for the VIN. I did not notice until I got home.

Yeah I am pretty good at all of that. My concern is the price quote and the rebate. I don't want the rebate to expire before the Jeep gets here and I don't want him to back out of the deal.
Should I get something in writing?, will the emails be enough? or should I just trust the dealer?

That being said, it probably wouldn't hurt to have something in writing. Even just a signed print out of the email. Do you feel you can trust the sales person you delt with?

99.99% of car dealors are shady, I wouldn't trust any of them. You are crazy if you don't get a full contract with everything spelled out. Emails are good and all and I am sure they can be somewhat of a safety net, but why not just go in and get a contract signed just to be sure...

But how do you feel about this person??? I had a verbal when I ordered the wife's and nothing changed when it arrived 6 wks later. Some people are still upstanding.
