Dealer info
ok, so this is not Turtle, this is the Turtle-ette. lol..
firstly, I would like to know when Eddie Bauer took over Jeep, because this year's colors suck! Ive had my heart set on an orange metallic JK for months, and theyre not releasing it!!!
I would however like to lend some credence to Fourfishes' post about the dealer information, as we just went to the local dealer today and beat him with a wet waffle until he confirmed it. ***The order date IS July 5th*** for the four door wrangler unlimited. No matter how much they profess to have no information on it, dont be deterred!! Simply hand them their ten pound three ring binder labeled 2007 JEEP/CHRYSLER/DODGE INTRODUCTORY PACKAGE" and say you dont believe them. They've got it, they just can't see it with their heads that far up their *****. They will not have any training on it though or any official information until July 10th.
So the good news is that the information is there, you just have to weasel it out of them. The bad news is that Eddie Bauer has in fact taken over the paint department, and as of right now, the only colors are the ones listed on the page for the two door JK. Click on the 360 view and you can see which ones are available. But dont be fooled, the steel blue metallic is really more of a blue/green/grey than a Navy blue/ purple. And really, the rescue green looks like a nasty combo of boogers and Slimer from the ghostbusters.
I have to say Im really very disappointed. However, the new dodge calliber is being released in solar yellow and a rockin' sunburst metallic ORANGE!! which are the only two colors that the jk is not being released in from the new lineup colorschemes.. So perhaps there is hope after all for a FUN late release mid year color ??!! here's hopin!!:thumbsup:

With this choice tidbit of information I take back my negative comment about you from another thread.TurtleMacLeod said:
I wonder what a 16K unlimited would be like. I've been thinking that the only options I really need in an Unlimited are 4wd, automatic and a/c. That should only add about $2500 right? We'll see!Edit. I just looked up the price range of the TJ on Edmunds. It is MSRP: $18,390-$28,930. Wonder if they really will have a 15-16k version of the JK.
I had to explain the difference between the 231 and the 242 transfer cases to the sales staff I encountered, thats just Pathetic!JAC83 said:Car stealership salesmen clueless??? no way man, that's impossible!
In my experience many salesmen don't even know and usually make stuff up about car/trucks they have on the showroom floor, I can't imagine how it's like for cars that still haven't been released.
