#54 of 83 Wrangler Unlimited diesel by jerrydock May 04, 2007 (6:28 am)
I just got off the phone with the Shalotte Jeep dealer (nabor Chrysler Dodge jeep) and put a deposit on a 2008 Wrangler Unlimited diesel. They will custom order to my specs. White Half doors No carpet No A/C Diesel Manual transmission Best of all, no one said a thing about God/Country/Family. Not like the morons I ran into at Neuwirth Motors in Wilmington.

Replying to: jerrydock (May 04, 2007 6:28 am) I've used the Jeep dealer in Shallotte before, my parents live in Holden Beach (I live up in Atlantic Beach). They are quite nice. Replies to this message: erickpl (May 07, 2007 7:28 am)

Replying to: goducks1 (May 05, 2007 6:19 am) So it is a confirmed deal that the diesel is going in the JK now? I didn't know that it had been decided. Which diesel? Any information on the engine for this? -Paul

Replying to: jerrydock (May 08, 2007 4:48 am) What is your source for this? Not doubting you, just want to see this for myself (I'm from Missouri, so you gotta show me!)

Replying to: erickpl (May 08, 2007 5:57 am) Wrangler enthusiasts have been begging for a diesel for years. For reasons best known to themselves, DC has apparently decided to build one, but keep its launch a secret. Given that build numbers of current Rubicon are severely restricted due to low component volume, they're probably worried it would be too popular! I had no idea it was going to be immediately available here in the US, however you might find this information from Australia interesting. Measurements are metric and pricing is $AUS. "2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Pricing & Specifications 13 Feb, 2007 Car News \| 1 Comment \| Email This Jeep today finally revealed the pricing structure for the 2007 all new Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Pricing starts from $30,990 for the Wranlger whilst the Wrangler Unlimited is priced from $34,990. For the first time ever in a civilian model, the new Jeep Wrangler range will be available with a diesel engine, a 2.8-litre common-rail turbo diesel, which is joined by a 3.8-litre V6 petrol engine. Gerry Jenkins, managing director for the Chrysler Group in Australia said enabling customers to ‘go anywhere, do anything’ at a great value was a prime consideration in the development of the 2007 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited. “The Jeep Wrangler is the undisputed global icon in four-wheel driving and to have the best ever Wrangler arriving for sale in Australia in March priced from just $30,990 gets my four-wheel drive juices bubbling! Australians are already in love with the Wrangler – we are the biggest market in the world for the four-wheel drive icon outside of North America - it suits our thirst for adventure and freedom, and there’s just nothing else like it on the market. The new Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited take rugged capability and refinement to new levels providing tremendous value to a range of customers and with our sharp pricing we expect the love affair to prosper,” said Jenkins. Offered in three models – Wrangler Sport - 3.8-liter V6 engine coupled with a six-speed manual transmission. The recommended retail price (RRP) for Jeep Wrangler Sport is $30,990. Wrangler Renegade - Same engine as Sport with added extras - $32,990.

Replying to: erickpl (May 08, 2007 7:14 am) So would I, because it's obviously slipped by under my radar (not that that's significant to anyone else).

Replying to: erickpl (May 08, 2007 5:57 am) You will have to wait until the 2008s are on display here. I bought mine without seeing it. I know what I want and will not waste a dealers/salesman's time tire kicking.
