XR Package & now 392 gone?

[Uncommon Sense]

It’s in like all of the 392 pages now. Also on the JL forum. A bunch of other dealers seemed to have confirmed as well. All of those 20As just ordered are already obsolete

Id imagine there will be a lot of 20a cancels....

Well, I tried to purchase a couple 392 wranglers from Dan Cummins and they were a pack of squirrels. Supposedly 'locked in', then oh sorry, you missed that one.
Okay, then try again. Cool we're 'locked in' again. Oh sorry, we didn't understand your text.
I cannot recommend them. Especially the extra $5k on the price 'just because' wasn't cool either. AND that was before the documentation Fee of $1k.
There are dealers out there that want your business and won't rape you.
Keep looking, Check autotrader,
Autotrader will show new listings at dealers very quickly.
Good luck in your search.

That’s disappointing! I’ve heard some good things about that dealer. But I still chose to order from a small local CDJR dealer and I couldn’t be happier. 3 months as they promised and you can tell from my signature. No bullshit no surprise.

I will be placing my 2024 392 order soon if Jeep keeps the price increase reasonable. I’m waiting to hear back from my salesman on the new MSRP.

It’s official. The 392 lives on for another year!

So you’re saying I should not take delivery of my 20th anniversary? Pretty crappy for jeep to announce an anniversary edition with some mild upgrades, and then make most of them standard on the next model year. Especially when there is a significant markup and dealers like Granger will not sell them under MSRP (whereas they are doing significantly under msrp on non 20A). In this economy it’s just not worth it. The 20 As will not hold their value well at all.

I agree. They almost surely won't. We've already seen that with the 10As. I saw one for sale a few months ago with relatively low miles for around 28k or so. Granted they aren't 392s, but I still predict relatively the same fate for the 20As.

The main reason to get a 20A imo is if you are into anniversary/special editions and like to drive around more of a conservation piece (to jeepers) opposed to something that you can either get for cheaper, with better features, or both.

EDIT: I'm leaving the typo in the above paragraph as is just for how funny it is. I meant conversation, not conservation. These things certainly aren't any 'conservation' piece haha.

Call me shallow, but I like driving around a rarer conversation piece even if it doesn't have features as good as the next one (especially if I got in on an AEV II). Even if other people don't notice or care, I like it better. As another example, I could have gotten a regular Bronco somewhere for cheaper, but I searched for a first edition (which I'm loving so far).

Yesterday taking a cab to the airport, I saw a dragon edition driving down the highway beside us. I thought "Oh, there's a rarity, cool". I wouldn't want a dragon edition, but I still think it's cool to see (and the diver didn't know either way what I was thinking). I imagine I could get that same thought when I'm driving down the highway in a 20A I guess. For some reason, I like the idea of that.

2 separate orders. 2023 392 for $79k(after discounts) and 2023 20A for $95k (msrp). I get the exclusivity and conversation piece part but not for $15-16k. Will have to price out a 2024 that’s similarly equipped as the 20 A and see the price difference.

Stellantis pulled a fast one by announcing the 20th anniverary models before the debuting the Wrangler MY 2024 changes. It left a very bad taste for those customers who ordered a 2023 20A model.

Agree. It would have lessened the blow if they would have included some or all of the refresh features on the 20A. The other option would have been to announce the 20A further back in the MY23 run. Either way, likely poor overall planning is the overall culprit.

Not changing anything for me. My 20A won't be my daily driver by a long shot. I'm looking to see what the Recon has to offer. I'm betting it will have the 'refresh' features. If I get one, that'll be my daily driver (where I would care a lot more about having the UC 5).
