Hi all, I'm considering a JLUR and as I look around, I can't believe how many 2018s are still sitting on dealer lots. I'd like to order a 2019, because I want ACC, but it's not a deal breaker if I can get a smoking deal on a 2018.

What kind of deals are you guys getting on leftover 2018s? Given that we're nearly three months into 2019, it seems the should be doing anything they can to push out the old model year. Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I'd really like it, but would forgo it for a smokin deal since I don't commute nor do I tend to drive long distances.

I am on the opposite side: I hated ACC on my Chrysler 300 SRT and Dodge Challenger Scat Pack. At first I thought I’d like ACC, until I got it and found it it is one of those things that looks great on paper but doesn’t work that well in real life.

It depends where and how you drive, I suppose. I am highly engaged when I drive: I use the left lane to pass only and expect others to do the same. The problem I had with ACC is that I had to deactivate it to get left-lane squatters to move over. After awhile, I had no use for it.

IMO, ACC is great if you just want to go along for the ride, thinking about anything but driving. Which is perfectly fine. But if you do, do it in the right lane please.

I wouldn’t let ACC be a deal breaker. Find yourself a sweet deal on a leftover 2018.

I completely agree and for that reason, would never want it if it couldn't be set as traditional cruise control for those situations. It's my understanding that the FCA version can do both ACC and traditional. Where ACC's really nice is on two-lane roads with an idiot in front that is going fast enough, but not maintaining a constant speed, or in heavy traffic where traffic is flowing, just slowly and congested.

Whew ....mixed emotions on the tech march. I admit to enjoying the conveniences tech can bring but find it intrusive at times and makes for lazy.

I'm never a fan of lazy especially when doing important or dangerous things.

IF there had been an Automatic parachute checker.... Uh No. I'll do that myself thank you.

PASS on ACC here.

Now, a remote control Butt scratcher in the seat? Sure, sign me up! :)

I've seen up to $8500 off MSRP, and you are right the 2 closest dealers for me have about 50 2018 JL in stock.
