I was just wondering how many have palced an order for the new 08's?
I placed an order almost 2 weeks ago and its BG status. It will probably be like that for a month. Once I get the VIN, I can track it from work myself on the computer.:thumbsup:
If anyone has a VIN and do not want to call, I can look it up for you.

I might be mistaken here, but there is another thread going on that talks about the fog light/tow hook option. From what I gather, if you order the 23S package (manual transmission) the fog lights and tow hooks are not part of the S package, however, they can be added on as options. If you order the 24S package (automatic transmission), then you get the tow hooks and fog lights as part of that S package.

I'm going to email my dealer tomorrow and see if he has any info to share. He seems pretty knowledgeable.

I ordered mine Early Aug, just today, stopped at my dealership, they were unloading a brand new 2008 Canyon Red 4Dr Sahara, with everything I ordered, and the extra Side AirBags... they said I could have it for 0.5% over invoice... its sitting in my parking spot right now

I couldnt wait any longer when I saw that Awesome car rolling off the truck. I got to take the plastic off most of it

Pics coming tomorrow
Here is the only pic I could snap, it was 630am, so quality isnt great, but she is a gorgeous :)

Neither of the S packages come with the fog lights or tow hooks for 2008 but you can add them both for about $200.

Just checked today and i went to "D1" status. My scheduled ship date is Sept. 27
I wrote in another thread that I would live vicariously through you today since you went into D1 status. As I was writing that, I though, "what the heck, I'll call and see if my status changes". IT DID!!!!!!

I'm in D1 status and have an estimated ship date of 9/26. Wooooooohoooooooo!:cheers: :D :2thumbsup:

Hello :D
Been reading for some time, Ordered 8-23, Told as of today in "D" status...fingers crossed
 
#158 ·
In D-1 status for a week, est ship date 9/19!

I checked my status today, still "D" but now they gave me an est build date of Oct 6th. :(

This is going a little slower than I would like.

I hope to have it before Halloween so we can enjoy the fall colors.

I just found out a few days ago that my est. ship date is Sept. 27th!! Anyway, does anyone know the time in between the ship date and the arrival date?
Usually 4 to 5 days once the plant releases it. My Jeep was just finished yesterday (KZ Status) and my dealer says 4 to 5 days........We will see!

I am sooo envious of you all...
I have been thinking about this for some time.
I just placed my order last week, I am gonna be a mess
for a couple mths as my lease is due early Oct.
I just didn't do my research in advance and had no clue
there was such a back log but as I am buying I am going
to be picky and get exactly what I want!

I just got off the phone about my 08 Sahara and the girl on the line told me that mine shipped and was in KZ status !!! I can hardly believe that as I placed the order with the dealer on 8/18 and they called me with my VON on 9/4.......this is the first time I called the 800 number for a status..... :2thumbsup:

:cheers2:

BTW u suck!

I have no clue when I can expect mine, I just placed the order the other week.
I bet it will take a year with my luck hahaha

I do not understand why some people have had to wait so long while others
are getting them in a couple months or quicker...

My dealer called this afternoon. My X is on a truck en route to the dealer scheduled for delivery next Wednesday!! I ordered on 8/23 and he told me to expect 4 MONTHS!! So much for that!! So, do you think he'll knock off an extra $2000 fo it coming so early since i had planned to save that much more for down payment??:rofl: I think NOT!! Oh well, i'm excited anyway!!

BTW, our neighborhood is laughing at us since we will have both our silver 4 door X and now a steel blue one as well!! As they say, "it's a jeep thing"........ In any case, we sold our Liberty and they took possesion today!! what timing!

Its got to be true that they are getting all the xs and Saharas out then will move to Rubis Anybody gotten a 4 door Rubi that ordered in June?
 
#176 ·
Still in BG, ordered 2-door Rubi on August 13th.

There's a nice black Rubi on the lot nearby, but I seriously doubt I could negotiate the price I got and its not exactly what I want anyway. Tempting though. :cool:
