Some dealers can order 2017, some can't?

I want to order a 2017 JKURHR this week, which apparently will be built through January 2017 only (from what I've read). I've been working with two dealers to find the best deal on a trade. Both would sell the Jeep to me at an identical price because I get the supplier discount through work - so that's not an issue.

Dealer #1: claims to have ordered and has delivered 2017MY Wrangler's already, with 4-6 week build time. I asked for double confirmation and they put a recent customer deliver detail in email.

Dealer #2: claims the system won't even allow them to order 2017MY yet, and if they did it would be 3 months before delivered. But he'll give me $3,000 more on my trade in.


The second one would smell of serious BS if not for the fact that they guy was more than happy to take my trade in now and give me a free of charge loaner car (Challenger) until the order was placed and delivered, which seems like a very un-BS type of thing to do if he was lying. So, I am ok with the wait in exchange for the cash and free ride, and thus I'd pick dealer #2, but I don't want to wait for 3 months and potentially miss the chance at a 2017 HR before they stop making them.

How is it possible that one dealer can order and the other can't?

Second deal seems pretty sweet to me (get every bit of it in writing and signed off on by them !) but I have to ask: Who were you talking to about the order process? Salesman or the dealership manager? I can't imagine why any dealer wouldn't be able to submit an order right now. Even my little dealer was able to put my JKUHR order in back on 9/3.

I just ordered a 2017 JKUR, no issues at all. VIN was assigned today, now it's a waiting game. All dealers should be able to custom order you a 2017, if not then I would move on to another dealer. The second dealer is probably just being on the safe side, saying 3 months, even if he doesn't have allocation until next month. Good luck and keep us posted.
