in all fairness, you cant judge the quality of the dealership by the stock
they have on hand. last year i wanted a rubicon. problem is that i had an
'02 mustang gt that i paid $26,000 for 6 months prior. i went to my local
"5 star" dealer who offered me $16k for a 6 month old $26,000 car. $10k
depreciation in 6 months??? aside from the insulting offer, they wouldnt
budge below sticker even if i sold the mustang out right and bought the
rubicon without a trade. prior to this we had purchased my '00 sahara from
them, my wifes expedition from them, my wifes xj from them, and another
vehicle. i said to hell with them and vowed to never purchase from them
again. i took a trip some 30 miles south to lumberton to peterson toyota.
they had 2 wranglers (1 rubicon, one "x") and a few grand cherokees. not
only did he give me right at $20k for my mustang, but he also sold me my
rubicon below sticker. the salesman tried slipping in an extended warranty
and gap coverage on us, but that was a bad salesman, not a bad dealership
(they issued an immediate refund). i would certainly buy from them again.

i attempted to swap my rubicon seats with the owner of an '02 tj that
happens to be a mechanic at that same 5 star dealership. he also bought his
jeep at another small town dealership for that same reason.

I agree Bill, it is great here for the outdoorsman. We have just about
everything you could want, including the cold weather, lol. It sounds like I
am bitching, but I really do love it here, it's just that certain things are
an inconvenience, like finding a decent Jeep.

Actually Nathan, I wasn't really badmouthing them completely because of the
inventory, but since they are the only Jeep dealer within a 60 mile radius
of a population of about 100,000 people including all of the outlying areas,
I would think they could have more than ONE Wrangler on their lot. And this
was a used one at that. The real reason I dislike this dealer is that I
bought a car from them about 10 years ago and the alternator went bad 2 days
after the warranty. They wouldn't go good for it, but I had them change it
anyway. The day I went to pick the car up they were putting the alt. in.
This was 3 days after I brought them the car. Anyway you can watch the
mechanics through a big window, and guess what. I see a massive shower of
sparks coming from the car because the guy is putting the alternator in with
the battery connected, and he grounds the wrench to the engine! This car was
never right after that. It used to all of a sudden charge at over 20 volts
for no reason and then go back to normal. I had it to several shops to try
and find out why, but no one had any luck. Anyway, after 5 months I ended up
trading the car in on a new one and losing my *** on it. This place has been
a true horror for many people, to the point of people putting big lemon
decals on their vehicles and driving around town with a sign that said
"Another Lemon for M&M Motors". These guys really are the Rush Limbaugh of
car dealers.
