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.

"The Rush Limbaugh of car dealers" Never heard that one before. Since I
agree with much (not all) of what Rush has to say, to me that's a
compliment. I don't think you want to compliment that dealer.
