Default Mathews Chrysler is closing

Just read in the paper today that Mathews Chrysler in Vestal NY is closing. Next closest dealer to me is 35 minutes away. Is any one else dealing with this same issue. Im seeing some rough times ahead for us JK owners.

There are a couple dealers in the Cleveland area that SHOULD be closing. Bunch of crooks.

All 3 dealers in my area, including where I bought my '07, are closing.
I think the closest one now is over an hour away.

I kinda lucked out.

My local dealer (Wissler Chrysler/Jeep in Mount Joy, PA) is closing as well. It was around 12 miles from my house. I then found out that Susquehanna Dodge in Wrightsville, PA is supposedly picking up a Chrysler/Jeep dealership to add to their Dodge line. Works for me.........they are less than .5 miles from my house.

Morong Jeep in Brunswick Maine, where I bought my Jeep is losing the Chrysler/Jeep line. I really like them. They were good to me both on the Sales side and Service...

http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/05/18/chr...ton/index.html - the news being the news.

Luckily the dealership I bought mine at didn't get the axe. I thought for sure they would be getting it as the county has the highest unemployment rate in the state.
