It's waayyyy to easy.........
...... to buy a new vehicle!
My wife finally got fed up with putting $100 of 93 octane in the Audi every week and still fouling plugs every year.. She was headed into town to get tires put on it when the check engine light came on for misfires. Just did plugs and coils a year ago
We went to Pittsburgh last week and she saw a new Jeep Compass she liked. I mentioned it was one of the few that had a manual transmission.... She like to drive a manual..
So she stopped in the local Jeep dealer and traded.....
They had to bring in a manual from hours away because no one drives them any more.... Why keep in stock?
While doing the paperwork they used my truck for owner loyalty rebate. So they got my VIN from insurance card.
When I took her to pick up Compass the sales manager said he could put me in a new 4x4 lease for $50 more a month than my current truck. I had planned on buying it because 5 trips back and forth to Florida killed my 12,000 per year mileage. So I said no thanks. Sneaky booger had a Bighorn brought up to the front door and as we were leaving said, "I can put you in that for $36 more."
I told him I couldn't. Owed to much for mileage on old one and still a year from end of lease. Well if you are getting another vehicle from dealer..... Mileage doesn't matter. Only matters if you turn in to lease company...
Soooooo.....

The sales guy said this deal had been the most popular he's ever seen. They can't keep a Bighorn on the lot. The one I got was supposed to be picked up that day by someone. They cancelled until Monday and lost their spot...
The site is buggered again. I now have to respond to every thread in order to make them update for me, otherwise they will disappear into lala land...
Just wish I had a few more HP's but she is a torque lil sucker. Been happy. But it will be a bit more time before the warranties are up. First time I got an extended warranty. ONly cause I did not know how the 2.8 lt would operate. Yeah them dealerships can suck ya in if your not careful.
