What is that; I don't now of any!!

 

When I bought my 03 TJ, the salesman told my wife the hard top and soft top had different full steel doors. What can I say? They gave me $5000 for my 95 YJ!

 

I know I'm posting twice in a row, which is totally queer, but that's how it worked out. I test drove an Unlimited tonight and had a great experience. The salesman knew it might be a while before I am ready to order, and he still allowed me to drive one. He could also talk Jeeps, so we got wrapped up chit chatting about everything except JKs. If you are in the Central Virginia area, I would recommend to go and at least visit this dealer.

The salesman's name was:
Ed Jones
Augusta Dodge Jeep in Staunton, Va.

How many of you have gone into a dealership and actually taught them a thing or two? It is crazy how most salesman I have spoke with are not very well informed with there own product.

 

Back when I was considering the 2-dr, I called ahead and asked one of the salespeople at a Jeep dealership around the corner if they knew the dimensions of the rear cargo area, in inches or centimeters.

He didn't know, but told me he would measure it and call me back that afternoon. Needless to say, no one called me that day. Or the next, or the day after that. I finally called, and got him on the phone. He obviously never bothered to measure it, so he just gave me some made-up numbers that made no sense ("40 inches deep! It's really spacious, you should buy it!").

So I went in to measure it myself with my own tape measure. When he saw me walk in and start measuring the rear, he was SO stupid that instead of realizing I was obviously the guy who called, he said "Hey, that's a crazy coincidence! I JUST spoke to someone today who was asking about the rear dimensions!"

Incidentally, the depth wasn't 40 inches (obviously). I don't remember how much it was, but I do remember what a doorknob that idiot was. He calls me now and then to see when I can "come on down and pick up a nice new Jeep!!!!" Tool.

 

I realize this was posted back in October, but a buddy of mine mentioned to a co-worker I was getting one and the co-worker swore up and down that 2dr Jeeps are not made anymore.

 

Not JK related, but I test drove an 06 GTO about 2 months ago. My wife was in the passenger seat and the salesman was in the back. I stuck my foot into that LS2 and swung the back end around real fast, then pinned it hard against the floor. Once I got to a stop sign, the salesman looked like he was going to puke in the back of the car. I knew the test route well, so I finished the drive without a single peep from the guy. I really wanted to see what the car could do and I was really impressed, but at heart I wanted a 4x4 again. Once we got out of the car, I tossed the keys over to him and said thanks, I'd think about it. He said he's never gotten sick during a test drive before and would remember me. Man that car had balls. I could only imagine what it would feel like if I got my hands on one and opened my wallet up to it.

 

I went into a dealer in NYC , he didn't even know what a rubicon was, no foolin !! Then a couple of minutes later he started pointing to a big poster of an 06' rubi on the wall saying he could order it for me. All he kept doing was pointing at the poster and saying he could order that for me. I was totally silent, just looking at the poster and then back at him until finally shaking my head and walking out..

 

When I went to order my Rubi, I was intrested in getting the MYGig unit at that time, (not any more though thanks to a lot of the info I have gained from this forum).
When I told him I wanted to order it he told me that it didn't come up in the computer as being available in the Wranglers so he asked one of his cohorts about it and his
buddy came out with something like, "That's not being put into the Wranglers, it's only going to be offered in higher priced vehicles like the Commander."
So I asked him "If that's the case, then how come they show it listed as an option in this Wrangler sales info booklet that was just given to me?"

When I showed him where it was in the book, the look he gave me was priceless. I don't think I could have gotten a better look out of him even if I were to have
told him that the chocolat that he was eating was actually cat turd. I couldn't help but laugh, and it was just as funny listening to his speculation as to why it wasn't
being offered at that time, in stead of finding out the truth.
He said something to the affect of, "Maybe their not putting them into the Wranglers at this time because there's
something wrong with the system and they don't want to install something that may stop working in a short period of time."
What a Freakin' B.S. artist! I'm glad that I didn't get him as my salesman I wolud have gone to another dealership.

The salesman I was and still am dealing with may not know everything about his product but at least he won't make up some kind of tall tale to answer a question.
He says he doesn't know or hasn't heard of it and he tries to get the info. for me. The dude seems like he's being quite honest with me, and that's pretty much the
only reason that I'm still giving this guy my buisness.

 

I went by to check the status of my order. The sales manager helped me because my salesman was out to lunch. I gave him the VON that he gave me a month earlier. He said that it was in BG status. He then ask if I ordered anything fancy? I said it was loaded minus the MyGIG. AHHHHH that is the problem. I said what ? He said there not making the Rubicon in a 4 Door. Nope I said. They are in fact building a 4 door Rubicon. He then ask if I ordered my Rubicon in a 2 WD or 4 WD. I just about died laughing at him. I said I'll just talk to my salesman later.
