While many dealers are happy to use nefarious tactics to make as much money as possible on rare vehicles, there are also a lot out there that still treat clients and enthusiasts with respect. They are the ones selling at MSRP with no games and crazy down payments. I have a great relationship with my local dealership (I have acquired 4 Grand Cherokees from them over the past few years), and the TrackHawk order process was super smooth. Since I will be trading in my current JGC, they didn't even require a deposit to place my order. They realize that it is good for longterm business rather than trying to make a quick buck on one vehicle. From Allpar and other websites, it looks like production will start in late September, so some of us could theoretically see vehicle deliveries in Oct, but Nov and Dec are more likely. A lot of the company folk, suppliers, and celebrities will probably get their VONs pushed up in build order.
