Sitting here reading all the threads on this and another forum, looking at other people's new JK Jeep's and getting jealous, wondering of all the things I can do to it, hearing of others who are taking delivery in only six weeks when I have been waiting 164 days since ordering!!!!!

Am I the only sucker in this boat??

Did you order anything unusual, such as 1/2 doors? Your deal WILL know if its been built yet, if it hasn't then god knows! If it has ya dealer can track exactly where it is and it shouldnt take any where near that long!!!

Hope you get it soon
Cheers Drew

I know how you feel - well almost - I have just crossed the 100+ day mark. My dealer tells me it is because I choose tan interior, have any arrived here yet with that?

Ordered a Silver Rubicon Unlimited, full doors (which are standard anyway), with dual top.

OK so I did order Dec 27th which is very early but....

Just spoke with the dealer (Adelaide's only 5 Star dealer) and they 'estimate' June 20th...we'll see!!

2 Door, Auto, Steel Blue, Rennegade Pack... ordered early March and dealer has no idea when it's coming. - Apparently Steel Blue are ultra rare, which I believe as I'm yet to see any about as yet....
I'd like it before the 08's come out...

I went to a dealer at chatswood in NSW and they had one in their garage, waiting for a buyer. He showed me one to sell it straight away but I preferred black so it might be still sleeping in their garage.

Just give them a call and ask for it. It is exactly the same one you are looking for.

Hi there!
Well i went to one of the Brisbane dealers in late March and ordered a Black auto unlimited renagade. Which was the 1st available due about now. Did not realy want a black one as my TJ is balck and I wanted a change and where I live it trealy gets dirty and shows up marks way too easy.
Next thing I knew a few weeks later they offered me a red one that was a cancelled order for imediate delivery. So I should have my bum in its seat by the end of this week. WOO HOO!

We have been waiting since May. We saw a con note from the dealer saying it would be her at the end of this month... We ordered a unlimited renegade pack with turbo diesel manual in 4door, Black:D

We will be very p*&^%d if it was also ours that missed the boat as we are all booked(holidays)for a trip up the cape in early november. If its not happening we will have to buy a new Navara dual cab:(

Hi all, I'm new to the whole Jeep thing. I put my order through at a brisbane dealership in the first week of april. Back then i was told i couldn't get my jeep until mid june. And since then i have heard nothing from the dealership to say that my jeep won'r be here in the next week or two.

However now that i heard some cars missed the boat i am getting a little worried. Is there any way of telling which ones missed the boat. Could it be the cars ordered from a single dealership or would it just be random cars? Also has anyone from brissy heard if their jeep is definately on a boat due very soon?
Maybe i should just casll my dealer on monday.

Hey Black JK, we ordered ours the first week in april to on the sunshine coast, its a silver unlimited manuel petrol renegade. In april we were told around the end of may start of june. But that came around and went then we were told mid june ( which it is now) and the boat arrived in brisbane on wednesday apprently and ours was on it! so we will have it mid next week :D haha very happy about that so i would be guessin this is the boat yours was due to be on so if it didnt make that boat i think u might be in for a wait... maybe ring around the dealers looking for cancelled orders from this shipment there is bound to be a few.
