[jeep2011]

HAHAHA thats funny mine would be $83,200. They will sell a whopping (0) units at that price.

[tydallas]

^^ x2

[nosmoke]

If the base price was $45,000, it would be pretty accurate I think.

Milous, please find out about the red color delay. The last 48 hours, I think I have logged on here about 75,000 times waiting to see if it is available. :lol:

The $75,000 price is exactly what is showing up, I'm waiting for them to correct it...

The dealer guides were updated today, Red is NOT on the list, will be checking daily for any changes.

[HEEP-IN 19]

ok i think ill be buying a x5m or a ml63

[SvenskaJeepGuy]

ok i think ill be buying a x5m or a ml63
increase in demand on the fake sunglasses market?

[HEEP-IN 19]

na

[jeep2011]

ok i think ill be buying a x5m or a ml63

+100x:thumbsup:

[jgc4ever]

LOL at that price.

A 2012 Porsche 911 with limited options costs $81,000 MSRP.

[BuckeyeSRT]

I sure do hope that 7 turns into a 4 or I'm in trouble

[Tnrboy]

Me too! Maybe invoice will be 45k? :-)

[Knightrider03m]

$45 or 55K :eek:

[HEEP-IN 19]

at most this truck should cost 60 with every single option 80 plus loaded will be viper territory and yes its back for 2013

[Scottina06]

LOL....gotta be $45k

[DAVY27]

DAM SON, 75k for a Jeep???

[Scottina06]

come on guys...he stated he's obviously waiting for it to be corrected

[GR33N D3M0N]

LOL that has to be an error, otherwise they're outta their god damn minds!!!

[cyanideg]

LMAO, no way that price is correct.

[hound]

For $1990, I would have to hear that HK sound system before purchasing.

[BOYCHIKS]

Well I would have to guess $45k.

[GR33N D3M0N]

For $1990, I would have to hear that HK sound system before purchasing.

Harmon Kardon has GREAT systems..FWIW

[jeep2011]

I see $30,000 rebates in the near future, lol.....

[Tnrboy]

I think I understand the 75k now. They went ahead and added the annual fuel cost to the vehicle price!!

[GR33N D3M0N]

i think i understand the 75k now. They went ahead and added the annual fuel cost to the vehicle price!!

lol!

[ENFORCER]

That must be the price in Australia, as they are reporting $90,000 here drive away or nearly $100,000 in US$
The ML63 and Porsche Cayenne turbo and X5M are all over $200,000 here:eek:

[jeep2011]

I figured it out.......Included with every SRT8 is a 4X4 Laredo to use in the winter months.

[soontobesrt]

ITS A MISTAKE PEOPLE, CALM DOWN! LOL at that rate they would literally sell at most 5 of them haha. ALTHOUGH, Im more convinced this new WK2 is much better than the old version so it could/should cost more in my mind! Not saying I want it to, obviously Id love it to for $5, but if they were starting this new one at $50k, I wouldn't be surprised or outraged at all! (all things kept equal on the economic end of it of course compared to back in 2006)

[jeep2011]

Actually, I would be upset if they raise the price. The 2011's went down in price over the previous models. Why should this model be any different?

[BigHemi2]

Why is red shown on the official Jeep SRT website but not available? My dealer called me yesterday to place the order but red was not listed. I only want red. Please help, Milous.

[Schleprock]

It has been stated multiple times on both sites; no reason has been given, Milous says it will eventually be available but there is no ETA of when. Could be days, weeks, or months. thnks it could be sooner rather than later though.

I was looking at red....think I'm changing to Mineral Gray.

Hopefully I just saved Milous some work.

[edogg23]

If red is not avalible what is? black and those 2 shades of silver?

[nosmoke]

If red is not avalible what is? black and those 2 shades of silver?

Looks that way. What a joke...they demoed the car in red for goodness sake, and then they can't let us order it? I don't want black or silver, and I shouldn't have to wait months for this. I have already been waiting for more than a year for this freakin' car!

[SRTDogg]

The sad thing is, there's probably a thousand or more people who are going to buy this car and haven't lost a moment of sleep over it. They probably don't even know it exists, couldn't care less, until they get to see it in some local auto show or on the dealer's showroom floor...

*sigh*

It's just not fair!!

I have been waiting since September '10 for this and with a glimmer of hope, it will be in my garage by end of August!! Or so I'm told... :D

Like someone said on the other forums, they hopefully just fat-fingered the 4 and hit the 7, so hopefully $45,000 is the base price. They're already gouging me for the CommandView sunroof ($4300 to get it basically) so I for one am already planning to change my order if this is the final options pricing.. :(


EDIT: I just took possession, here she is!! :D :D *dreaming*

[BuckeyeSRT]

That is what mine will look like...I CANT WAIT!!

Red maybe still having issues because of the china quake aswell.

[GR33N D3M0N]

Japan maybe?

[08Hemi]

haha that is hilarious to jump on Mr. Milous for an OBVIOUS clerical error...thank you for all that you do kind sir!!

Will it be available in white? ;)

[Jeeps]

Did anyone see this site has posted pricing!!! Looks great, base price is $43,825 including destination!

http://www.wk2jeeps.com/wk2_srt8.htm

[SRTDogg]

Yeah I am on wk2jeeps.com all the time so this must be new. Where did they get that price from? Destination is $825 so that means Base price MSRP is $43,000????? :D :D :D

[mjw930]

Since that's Milous's site it looks like he published it there before he did here.

So, an SRT 8 with:

3 Season Tires
Pano Sunroof
LUX II
SRT Audio
Tow Package

Comes in @ $51,200

[BuckeyeSRT]

$43,825 is a very nice surprise. It makes me wish I ordered the Pano roof but I think I will survive with out it. :)

[Schleprock]

If this is indeed the price, and does not change. BRAVO!! to Jeep for making such a vehicle, at such a price.

Guessing you can't get the Pano roof with the DVD...(wish they would have put the monitors in the headrest's argh) Our LR4 has this...way more convenient.

So mine looks like:

3 Season Tires
Engine Block Heater
LUX II
SRT Audio
REar DVD

Not really diggin the extra weight for the tow package....I would only use it for a bike rack anyway...for towing I would use the LR4

LOL, you'll do the LUX II which probably adds a couple hundred pounds but forgo the 40 lbs the hitch will add.... Remember, it's a tubular steel hitch, it's not that heavy.

[smoove7410]

Wow, that is a great price. Good job Chrysler. My only gripe....I hate brilliant black, and no white, lol.

[Knightrider03m]

Wow, that is a great price. Good job Chrysler. My only gripe....I hate brilliant black, and no white, lol.

Whatever..... brilliant black hates you back :slapfight::lol::lol:

[jgc4ever]

Great base price. I think the $2995 for the Lux II package is too high and another $1195 for the Panoramic glass. That's OK though as it's only an option and I can do without those items. Now I'll just have to sit back and wait for Black Clear Coat to become available. It's gotta happen sometime in the hopefully not to distant future.

:thumbsup: and :sleepy:

[SRTDogg]

I think Chrysler/Jeep knows that these SRTs are usually ordered fully loaded by the dealers.

Fully loaded is just a bit over $50k, so perhaps there is one option they anticipated nobody getting to keep it under $50K, anyways my point is I think the base price is artificially low because the options are so high and if they are fully loaded then they are basically $50K and anyone and everyone was pegging this for $50k from the beginning, I know I was (although admittedly, I was saying "500HP and $50K" but anyways we know that engine is good for 500 at the crank easily). :D So they will get their $50K one way or another, the base price just makes it that much more appealing really.. :) Upsell Upsell Upsell!! :D :D (Yes, I'm in Marketing too!)

As such, I'm not really sold on the options here, and I dislike the idea of all of these crash avoidance type things. I also am now disliking the look of the panoramic roof when the shade is open. Anyways, I am just very turned off by those now and the fact they are $4300, that's 10% of the car. No thanks. They're not getting that full $50K from me. :D

So mine should be around $44,125 with the tow pkg, maybe less if I can get invoice pricing.. :D

I just PRAY this MSRP is legit, or at least really damn close! :)


ps. Milous can you just post up when you change the wk2jeeps.com MSRP info, so I don't have to keep reloading it every 5 minutes waiting for something more official.. :D

[jeep2011]

They are definitely rapping you on the Pano roof. It should be included in the LUXII package and not an additional option. It makes sense the LUXII is $3K since it includes the advanced warning package. I wish however they made the pano roof part of the LUXII and made the advanced warning a separate option.

My biggest concern is how the tow package will be installed. I am hoping the hitch is still covered by a removable trim piece and not permanently removed if you order the hitch.

I completely agree with everything you said here. :thumbsup:

edit: actually I kind of wish I could just get the leather upgrade only of that lux package. I will definitely try to get the leather pieces from the dealer parts department.

[12Jeep]

+1 "My biggest concern is how the tow package will be installed. I am hoping the hitch is still covered by a removable trim piece and not permanently removed if you order the hitch."

[Scottina06]

Im pretty sure it was mentioned that the cover is for the hitch when not in use

[P-Dawger]

LOL, you'll do the LUX II which probably adds a couple hundred pounds but forgo the 40 lbs the hitch will add.... Remember, it's a tubular steel hitch, it's not that heavy.

Yeah well with an old Carrera - weight is everything so it gets into your mind, and then turns into a sickness.

How do you figure LUX II at a couple hundred pounds...I can see the rear power lift gate mechanism...but all the other gadgets???

So for the tow package - does that just include the hitch or is it uprated, cooling, alternator etc????

As far as towing I just threw down $400 for a "hitch receiver" for the LR4...not the hitch...the receiver so I could plug in a bike rack....Land Rover...what a racket. So, if I am doing any towing that beast will handle 7500lbs...prolly just use that.

But yeah, deep down its the weight ;-)

I understand and was just pulling your chain. I've been aflicted by the same sickness having been in and around track cars, including Porsche's for a few decades. Hell, I spent $4K on forged wheels for my street Boxster S because I saved 5 lbs per corner (which is HUGE BTW) ;)

I just get a kick out of anyone commenting on saving weight on a 5000 lb SUV. :D

[SRTDogg]

The Panoramic roof will likely add around a hundred lbs, just due to the weight of the glass, trim, shade, rails, and all of the wiring as well.

The leather is light, but the parts and wiring in the Luxury pkg for the blindspot/lane change monitoring and adaptive cruise/collision avoidance probably only add about 10 lbs.

The High Performance audio pkg probably adds 50lbs too, considering there's 2x as many speakers+wiring, a larger amp, and a sub/box or two...

So it is SOME weight, not a lot, but it's definitely worth considering since this vehicle is already so darn heavy. BUT, would it be enough weight to thwart someone from upgrading to these pkgs if they really wanted them? Unlikely.. :)

[Jeff_Jeske]

How would the seats differ from luxury to a non luxury package?

[SRTDogg]

Identical. The only leather changes are to upper-dash pieces/trim. Please refer to this site for full details on the packages: http://www.wk2jeeps.com/wk2_srt8.htm

What does that mean as far as the main top section of the dash in non-lux, is that leather?

[Scottina06]

there are tons of pics of the non-lux dash in the wk2 forums. JeepGarage is the top forum for 2011+ Grand Cherokees and there is tons of info. The SRT Jeep is 90%+ the same platform as the 2011...so lots of the info about the 2011 is the same as the 2012 SRT Jeep.

That doesn't really answer my question. Are ther pics of the non-luxury 2012 SRT8? As far as I know there's only one pre-production model that's been photographed and it was loaded.

Luxury group doesn't add leather to the dash in the Limited 2011 WK2.

I would say Troll but not with 300 posts. :D More like I look like the Troll, but trust me, I have been on Chargerforums.com, CherokeerSRT8.com, LXForums.com, and the SRTforums.com sites for some time now. I only recently joined JG because I was finding more info here (first). :D :D

I've never directly insulted you. I simply respond to a few of your MANY posts in this section. Surely I cannot be the only one who notices the "curiosities" of your postings. If so, then I guess I should go back and re-take my sensitivity training course we have at work.

Look at pics of the non-leather dash WK2's and thats what will be in the non-Lux SRT8. The interiors on the 2011+ are very, VERY nice and world class IMO....even without the leather dash. Most Overlands have the leather dash...so just about anything below that has the regular dash that you want to see.

[jgc4ever]

I'm not the one sending PM's ;)

You're the only one throwing out insults. And posting personal messages now too. I don't see anyone else directly attacking the posting habits of members here. It's only you. Like I said, I think you may have troubles socially, possibly a mental defect. Not quite sure. And I didn't start this, so try and handle the responses the best you can since you seem to act like you're not senstive but you're quite the opposite.

I've seen the pics. Thanks for answering my question about the SRT8.

[Scottina06]

no problem. there will always be questions until we see production models....BUT even thenit may change at anytime. We have seen that with the non-SRT 2011's.

[Tnrboy]

Has anyone that placed an order this week done so using the Chrysler affiliate program? I plan on using it for my srt8, but am several weeks away from actually doing so. Real curious to see what the invoice price will be! Also, what are your thoughts on the commandview option?

[Milous]

HReal curious to see what the invoice price will be!
Official confirmed invoice pricing will not be released for another month or so.

[cyanideg]

whats the best way to get the new SRT at invoice price? Ive seen some posts saying to join some clubs or something to get good prices. Or will my dealer just be able to get me the best possible price? they treat me right and I dont think they would jack the price up on me but how can I get rock bottom pricing?

Affiliate program or not, the only way to get the rock bottom price is to talk to a dealer willing to sell it at the price you want. It's completely up to them, there is no "secret" way. (If Chrysler EMPLOYEE pricing is anything like GMs GMS pricing I am very familiar with, then a dealer isn't even required to honor that price if they choose not to participate).

[Scottina06]

I just talked to my dealers gen manager and he says there is no info on invoice price, affiliate program or supplier programs. So he says anyone that is telling you taht they will take affliate or supplier pricing is nnot telling the truth.

[Mmartin]

You want to get a good deal? Affiliate pricing may be able to help or just buddy up with your local dealers manager. What sales manager doesn't want his plate frame on a new $50k GC SRT8?

[Scottina06]

especially when he also owns the BEST and fastest growing Jeep site on the net!!!! LOL

[SRTDogg]

Wait what site are talking about? :)

[Scottina06]

LOL.....


It was a joke folks...dont take it seriously

[Schleprock]

I ask: Will you accept Affiliate pricing on the vehicle.

They said: Yes, we will honor Affiliate pricing so long as it is eligible under the Chrysler Affiliate Rewards program and you can obtain the control number.

How is that lying :confused:

[Gore]

The easiest approach I've found is find a dealer who normally sells at invoice. Out in the northwest, Dave Smith Motors, advertises selling at invoice for Dodge. I then just offered my local dealer the opportunity to sell me a car, but only if I could pay invoice and they jumped for it.

Luckily I didn't have to work to hard on this one since I bought my wife a Challenger and got the invoice hassle out of the way on that one. They didn't even blink when I asked whether they would sell me an SRT8 jeep at invoice...

Good luck!
Gore

[Jeff_Jeske]

I would expect that you could test the waters by trying to get any other SRT8 vehicle at invoice price first. Kind of a dry run.

Back to the Lux package. So I went back and looked at the standard non-leather dash pics and I understand what the dash part includes/deletes but what about the "other trip pieces" part?

I couldn't care less about the dash but I love the white stitching on the door arm rests, center console, and seats. Are those items Lux or standard specifically the seats?

If the lux package adds "premium leather to the door trim panels, instrument panel and center console " what will it look like without it? Will it be leather without the stitching or will it be hard plastic?

Actually, I see the LUX II package as the new way to get Adaptive Cruise, blind spot and cross path detection, the leather add is not why I would buy it. It would be smarter if they called it the TECH II package and separated out the leather and Pano roof as a LUX II package.

[SRTDogg]

I believe they called it upper door trim, so the door as you see is leather at the very top, but it is NOT white stitched leather like the rest of the seating area.

[mjw930]

After talking with my dealer odds are whatever SRT8's that show up on dealer lots ordered as dealer stock will probably have every option except the rear seat DVD. If you want a "stock" SRT8 you'll probably have to order it.

According to him, discussions he's been a part of with Jeep indicate Jeep feels the target market for the SRT8 as a higher end customer cross shopping with the European SUV's, not the hot rodder looking for the cheapest point of entry with the lightest vehicle. The "recommendation" will be to fully option their stock orders.

Bottom line, unless you order one or see one that comes in from a customer order it's unlikely you'll ever see one without the LUX II package.

The problem with that, as I see it, is that the MSRP crosses the $50K barrier, something I think is hard for people to accept coming from Jeep. It doesn't matter that it's 1/2 the price of a comparable Porsche or BMW SUV, it's a price point that the brand will have a hard time justifying. That's why Toyota created Lexus, Nissan created Infinity and Honda created Acura.

[SRTDogg]

Has anyone who ordered received their VON or VIN # yet?? (I haven't checked but am anxious to call and find out!)

Will we not get VINs until around 7/18?

From my experience in the MD/DE/PA area, this first year run you'll see hardly any as dealer inventory. Where I ordered mine, they wanted 5, and could easily sell them all, but only 2 were accepted. Mine and another sold unit. The dealer is bummed.

There are 250 Jeep dealerships within a 300 mile radius of where I live alone, even if they increase 2012 production to 2000 units from 1500, there is simply not enough product to come close to filling dealer lots. I 100% agree with Milous on his comments relative to low production/dealer inventory. When we bought ours in Jan 2010 before final orders closed, there were 5 in the entire northeast area. Luckily we could order one. And when it came in to the dealer, someone came in the showroom that day off the street and asked to buy it.

Has anyone who ordered received their VON or VIN # yet?? (I haven't checked but am anxious to call and find out!)

Will we not get VINs until around 7/18?
If someone had their dealer build the vehicle, and received a print out from them to take home.....if it does not say Price Ordered Confirmation at the top and have the "Ordered Date" filled in and a "VON #" filled in, and 4EA Sold Order in the Option section, then you do not have a guaranteed ordered unit. In addition, the Build Priority in the lower right corner plays a factor too. The dealer that played games with me had a 99 (also didn't have the other items I mentioned), which I believe means dealer inventory, my ordered unit has 01.

I believe VIN is handed out when the vehicle is just about ready to go down the line for production.

So if I had mined "ordered" a week ago, I should be able to get a VON printout complete with VON #, date, 4EA sold, and build priority info? Does "4EA sold" mean I have to prepay for it?

[mjw930]

From my experience in the MD/DE/PA area, this first year run you'll see hardly any as dealer inventory. Where I ordered mine, they wanted 5, and could easily sell them all, but only 2 were accepted. Mine and another sold unit. The dealer is bummed.

There are 250 Jeep dealerships within a 300 mile radius of where I live alone, even if they increase 2012 production to 2000 units from 1500, there is simply not enough product to come close to filling dealer lots. I 100% agree with Milous on his comments relative to low production/dealer inventory. When we bought ours in Jan 2010 before final orders closed, there were 5 in the entire northeast area. Luckily we could order one. And when it came in to the dealer, someone came in the showroom that day off the street and asked to buy it.


That's the difference area makes. In my areas there are ~70 dealers within a 200 mile radius and vehicles don't fly off the lot like they do in the NE, CA or Chicago areas. I also think 1500 is the number of SRT8's that will be built this calendar year, not model year. The number I've heard is 2% of overall WK2 production which would equate to about 3000 over the entire model year. I think there are about 2600 Chrysler Group dealerships but I can't find out how many sell Jeeps. Regardless, it's quite possible that many dealerships will not see any SRT's this calendar year and some may not get any ever. OTOH, I've see quotes that 50% of Chrysler dealers account for 90% of their sales. Even with that it's unlikely any dealer will see more than 4 or 5 SRT's over the course of the model year.

I don't doubt they will be in short supply, at least until spring of next year. Kind of like the Overland and Summits were this year. If they really take off I would expect Jeep to up the quantity later in the year or as part of their 2013 planning.

I believe if you don't have that info already (any dealer who you set up an official order with should be kind enough to give you a copy of your order sheet!!!)....then you don't have an order. Did you order one already?

payment options are totally up to the dealers desire, nothing to do with Jeep/Chrysler.

[Milous]

I couldn't care less about the dash but I love the white stitching on the door arm rests, center console, and seats. Are those items Lux or standard specifically the seats?
The stitching is only on the Lux package. I believe I have a small interior pic of non-stitched interior, I'll post it later tonight when I'm back online.

[Scottina06]

hmmm...good info again Milous

[Jeff_Jeske]

Thanks. For me I don't want all that electronic stuff as I rarely use cruise or follow anyone. I just want that totally kick arse white stitching inside.

I'd love to see them separate the lux and tech.

[SRTDogg]

Yes I did order one Shlep, but I did it over the phone. I need to call the guy back and get a confirmation page and VON # apparently now...

Oh man I want the white stitching but not for $3000, and anyways white stitching will likely get dirty REAL quick...

[jgc4ever]

Lux II with leather and power liftgate, but without Adaptive Cruise would be a nice option, as would a regular sunroof option. Oh well, I guess if I really want those things, I'll just have to splurge. Probably wouldn't use Adaptive Cruise, but I guess blind spot monitoring and rear cross path detection would be useful.

Hoping the non-Lux package interior still looks really nice, which I'm sure it will.

That's a really good point. I'm thinking the Harman Kardan stereo system and the trailer tow group is all I'll get.

I ordered mine over the phone the day the order banks opened and got the VON as soon as he submitted my order...he said he also "hotlisted" the order...which seemed to move my 2011 overland and 2011 300C through the process a bit quicker.....

bro....honestly...this is the most hush hush anyone has been about a vehicle in a long time! Even Milous will tell ya that! There is really nothing out there. I know Milous has some stuff......BUT the question is will he release it? LOL

[QuickOne]

^^^^..I guess we all can just poke and prod Mr. Milous for some generous handouts to us faithful enthusiasts.
I really don't understand the HUSH HUSH treatment.
Doesn't Fiat/Chysler spend MILLIONS of dollars in development and marketing of a new vehicle?
Then why not build up the hype behind the vehicle so everyone is talking about it?
And it's not like it's an industry norm to keep things quiet.
I've already seen sneak peaks of the 2013 GT 500 and BMW M5 as well as multiple other 2013 vehicles.
This is a 2012 and production starts in a month.
Give the magazines your testers...Let them video the snot out of it and get everyone crazy about this new Jeep!

[BuckeyeSRT]

he said he also "hotlisted" the order...which seemed to move my 2011 overland and 2011 300C through the process a bit quicker.....

I would love to know more about what "hotlisted" is. I thought the best our dealer could do was call it a sold car and list the buyer.

Me too!^^^^^

this "hotlisted" talk is pure dealer hyperbole.

[Scottina06]

Exactly correct. Imagine the paperwork/production nightmare if dealers were able to "hotlist" vehicles and get them into production faster. And what if EVERY SRT ordered was hotlisted? Then you would have to have "hotlist plus" and "hotlist plus plus"!

[mjw930]

Upon closer examination of the images they appear to be the same interior pics as officially released, but the stitching is not as pronounced, meaning that Chrysler may have done some slight pshop work to lighten the "white". I need to do some more research on this, internal information is conflicting at times.

The dealer has always talked about a "code" that he uses to hotlist the order...I will call him tomorrow and find out what it is and if he has been blowing smoke the last several cars I ordered...regardless I got 1% under invoice for the 2011 300C and 2010 Overland

I'm pretty sure that code is 4EA which = Sold Order and should place the build priority to 01 instead of the 99 for dealer stock orders. The only other code I've seen that seems to have some bearing is 4H4 = Special Scheduling Condition VII but no one seems to be able to tell what that actually means or how it gets into the order.

Like others have said, it's probably hyperbole from the dealer to make you feel "special" It's sales 101 ;)

The same thing happened with the Overland interior, especially the Saddle. The stitching looked a lot more pronounced in the early pictures from Jeep than it does in person. I would expect the stitching to look much the same as it does on the black interior Overlands.

Has anyone been able to sort out the meaning of the different build priorities. Earlier posts indicated that 4EA "Sold Vehicle" was significant but that appears to be keyed off the fact that customer information was entered.

As it was explained to me, sold orders always take priority over dealer stock orders. When I ordered my '11 it was at schedule priority = 01 and the build priority was also = 01 but they were already in production. I bet the build priority will be updated once they start production. I also looked up stock orders the dealer had and they all were at a build priority = 99 while mine was = 01. When you get to 01 / 01 then you are at the top of the list.

[2011JGC]

My dealer called and said that "5NC-Distribution Tracking" is showing up on my order. He stated that he has not seen that before.....when I googled "5NC-Distribution Tracking" (with the quotations to narrow down the results) I come up with the same code being used on Vipers that are being sold.

Anyone know what "5NC-Distribution Tracking" means??

Ask him for the VIN #. As of today no VIN's have been issued for the SRT models.

Any idea or estimate on what invoice pricing will be? If a dealer agrees to invoice pricing are the upgrade options usually at invoice too or is there only MSRP for options?

I estimated that invoice price on the base would be about $2,800 off msrp. Invoice on the options is never much less than the cost of the options. I'd be curious to hear what others have estimated.

By the numbers I have in the last 3-6 digits, I don't' see any way the VIN will show an order/assembly line position. I highly doubt I would be that high in the assembly order considering my order date, build priority, sold status, and receiving my VIN already.

SRT options Update -

The order system is now requiring Luxury Group II when ordering the rear DVD system...

That means for anyone who wants a single-pane sunroof it will only be available in a package group that costs around ~$5,500.00.

And for anyone who wants the rear DVD system it will only be available in a package group that costs around ~$5,500.00.

I ordered on June 6th (Loaded/Mineral Grey) and got a VON... it went from BX to BE status..yesterday dealer put in another order for me for the exact same vehicle and today the dealer called and said it also went into BE status....they emailed the district manager to find out why but don't expect an answer until early next week.

BE status means an error with the order....but the order itself is fine!

Anyone have an idea of what is up with the BE status for me and 12Jeep?

Has anyone else checked with their dealer to see what their status is now?

[12Jeep]

2011JGC post brings up another good question about the order process that I am curious about, I read in other forums about users who had put in multiple orders for prior SRT modes (ordered the same car from multiple dealers, would purchase the first one that came in). Is anyone aware of how that situation is handled from an order processing perspective? That approach seemed to be a generally accepted practice when users were trying to purchase SRT-8 Chargers and Challengers, is there a downside (with the exception of having to put cash down at multiple dealers)?

Thanks in advance to those of you who have been through this process that can shed some light on how these situations are treated.

In my case the dealer suggested ordering another one since the first order kept switching to BE Status. The idea being whichever hits D status is kept while the other one is canceled. Unfortunately both are now in BE status.

It sounds like there are more than just a few of us with this error. Perhaps it is a system issue that needs to get sorted out and have the orders reset. I don't have any order conflicts (even with the latest change to require the Luxury Group II for orders with Rear DVD selected)

Yes...however, no one seems to know why we are in BE Status....can anyone help with that?

I would guess BE is some sort of holding pattern since production doesnt start for 3 more weeks

Don't have a specific answer but I do know that there have been quite a number of issues/bugs/changes/updates involved with the various 2012 model year vehicle order banks.

As we speak not a single Jeep SRT8 has gone to D1 status. I wouldn't worry about anything this early on.

[Scottina06]

Look at the 2011 status'.......it all depends on options, colors etc.

Ok....let's see if there is a pattern here for all of us in BE Status....

I ordered Mineral Grey, Rear Entertainment, Luxury group,SRT Audio, NO towing package, All Season tires.....If you're in BE Status what did your order consist of ??

[12Jeep]

My order is :

Brilliant Black
Luxury Group II
SRT High Performance Audio
Dual Pane Pano Roof
Trailer Tow Group IV

Status is - BE :(

I agree that it is probably not time to get too worried though. Didn't order till the 16th so I figured there would be a decent line of orders in front of mine.

[jeep2011]

I am keeping my fingers crossed that choosing silver will bring me to the front of the line :D

Mine is still in BX and back to priority 01. The latest sheet did add NAS 50 state emissions and YG1 7.5 gallons of gas.

Good to see that I am not the only one with the YG1 entry. I thought it might be the source of my order going to BE status. Will call dealer later in the week, expect that order will be in BX or BG status.

I think you will find there is a mix of everything. The dealers I spoke with said they will honor it as long as it is included in the program. Most expect the GC srt-8 to be excluded

Do you happen to have the link? Also, I don't think any 2012 jeep models are part of the affiliate discount yet. Not saying they won't be, but the email I got from them said so.

I had to enter the company code to get in to see it. It's noted in the wording next to the asterisk in small print on the bottom left. I just assumed it was current since I entered the company code to get to it.

If they do exclude the 2012 Jeep SRT8 I could see that still happening since they wouldn't need to list it yet since they aren't even produced yet.

Good catch. I was only looking at the webpage that is linked off the main menu on the left hand side. It will be interesting to see what they end up doing for the 2012 models.

Hey im new to this site and Jeep brand for that matter, i own a trailblazer ss but a week ago i placed my order for the new 2012 srt-8. i saw you guys talking about order status and von numbers. if i ordered mine last week how long do you guys think i should wait before i call and see if anything has updated? and btw i notice some of you guys are from all over the country but i went to the ny auto show and i saw the new one in person the pictures on the internet dont do the truck justice. the truck is gorgeous in person thats why i needed to switch from a chevy to a jeep lol.

So does anyone have a opinion how long I should wait to get the Von number when I ordered it last week?

You should get it soon. Have you called the dealer to check yet?

your dealer will have the VON# as soon as they hit "submit" on the computer to send the order in.....if it is accepted. Any good dealer should provide you a copy of the Price Order Confirmation, just like if you were to go into a store and place any other kind of special ordered item.

[NewSRT-8]

No I haven't I emailed this morning so hopefully I'll get an update soon

[12Jeep]

Your dealer should be able to provide the VON anytime. Just tried calling the Jeep customer service and they are indicating that they can't lookup VONs until the end of this month.

On a separate note.....does anyone expect pricing to be announced this week, or are we going to see production begin before it is finalized.

[Scottina06]

pricing any time now

[SRTDogg]

I talked to my guy again today. No word on pricing either, BUT he said the 1st set of Jeeps will be released on the 29th and arriving at Dealers the 1st week of August. They are only allocating 2 Jeeps for a dealer and almost NO Dealer is going to give their first 2 away right away.

Mine is supposedly building and shipping a week later... We'll see. I still don't have a VON only because he says he didn't get it, and they told him it is meaningless. Not the most aggressive guy I want getting this beast for me, BUT, he's all I have at this point, and he is calling me almost daily with updates, so I feel pretty good about it.. :D

100% lie.

How are they allocating 2 per dealer, when they aren't even making that many? Your guy gets more and more laughable the more he opens his mouth. I wouldn't buy a snow cone from this guy.

[SRTDogg]

I know my guy is laughable, and what I am saying is heresay not my own lies, thank you very much. :)

Anyways, I bet he is right. No dealer is going to get a brand new 2012 Jeep SRT8 in and give it away that day. No dealer. Sorry. Maybe if they get 10 but who is getting 10 right off that bat??

Where's Milous when you need him... :)

So your saying even the sold orders they are going to keep on the lot to get attention and not sell them? Mine has assured me the night it comes in it'll be in my driveway.

[SRTDogg]

I think what he means is Jeep is building the dealer stock vehicles FIRST, at least 1 or 2, so they have something in their showrooms. Then they are focusing on fulfilling the 4EA sold orders within that week or beginning the week after. I dunno, but to me it makes sense. You don't give away all of your builds cuz then nobody will know the vehicle even exists...

Keep them coming. Will you be here all night? If so, I'll make sure to try the Veal and tip my waitress graciously.


Hey, at least your dealer admits he's a scumbag (still wondering how he says each dealer is only getting 2, and his first two are going on the lot, but yours...the third....will go to you in the next shipment. I thought he just said each dealer was only getting 2???)

Jeep would rather build a unit that is going directly into a customers hand without sitting, rather than anchoring someone's showroom with a ridiculous mark-up just to show it off. That doesn't make Jeep look good at all. It's one of the main reasons the '04-'06 GTO turned out poor sales. Dealers destroyed the market with ridiculous mark-ups and holding the vehicles hostage. By Aug 2004 they had to give '04 GTOs away to make way for the upgraded '05s.

[SRTDogg]

Actually, the 1-2 a dealer first gets won't be for sale, they will be on the showroom floor, driven around, maybe some serious test drivers if they want to do that, etc.. Any customer can walk in the door and order one right then and there. Nothing is preventing that from happening. Chrysler has to have product placement in order to have product sales. Not everybody lives on the Internet like us, and reads about this stuff months before it comes out...

[jgc4ever]

They will be for sale though.

[NewSRT-8]

I don't know much about dealerships and what they do with the 2012 when they are shipped but it makes more sense to sell them to just keep them in a showroom. If someone sees a srt-8 fly bye them on the street that would create more excitement for them to go to the showroom then just seeing it in the showroom

I seriously hope you are joking......I thought your first post was just trying to get some people fired up until there was no "Guys, I am just kidding" follow-up.

A few points to consider, I am happy to take these statements back if proved wrong...

Dealers are in business to make money....Cars do not make money sitting in showrooms, dealers incur carrying costs / advertising costs, not to mention customers who might go elsewhere if their orders are sitting in the dealer showroom.

We have numerous members who have received confirmation of VIN's and even some have expected delivery dates which is in sharp contrast to any theory that new vehicles will be sitting in showrooms when they arrive. There may be a dealer with no customer orders who has priority and will get one they can put in a showroom, but if a dealer has a slot, their sold orders take priority over their stock.

Product Placement is achieved through all of those car magazines that are going to be allowed to print their reviews in the next few weeks.

No VON, no order.

[QuickOne]

The Sales Manager told me his Chrysler ordering rep said not to order for dealer stock since allocation was so low. Any dealer orders were being pushed to Sold orders first.

[SRTDogg]

Well, I think probably what is going on here is the dealer is taking the first two for himself, and I had the next order so I will get 3 and my guy will get #4.

Probably because we didn't have a VON before maybe we got bumped and they wanted 2 for their dealer owners to cruise around in for a few days or what have you.

Anyways, he said there would only be 2 in the first shipment to that dealer on the 29th. So it's not that there are 2 different orders being done before-hand (i.e. dealer stock) it's just the dealer likely inputted all stock orders as 4EA sold so they would get them built and shipped.

[jgc4ever]

Official pricing is still be worked on, the $43,825 is only a preliminary estimate. Final pricing will not be released for another month, ~mid July.
