New Jeeps Are Failing To Sell 

😮 😂😂😂

I bet jeep rubicons sell just fine, all of there models on the lot are really just mall crawlers with a jeep name slapped on them.

Right...when you drive off the lot the car isn't even worth half as much as you paid for it.

I have a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7 hemi beautiful condition but I’m in a mental debate to purchase 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee OverLand but I feel the newer one looks cheaper than mine I mainly want it for the new design and keeping up and not being outdated waiting to the price to become more reasonable

@@bc_usa you would be suprised how well jeep rubicons hold thier value, especially in todays makerts. Personally i don't even want one, i prefer a vehicle with less road noise, but if you want to live the jeep life with doors off and rock crawling there are only 2 vehicle choices, top end bronco or top end jeep wrangler. its a very niche market like sports cars.

You won’t find a 40k Jeep Cherokee. Ben is quoting the base price, which you have to add 8k to 15k of options, 3k tax, 1.5k freight, and $300 to $1600 for a tag depending on how your state issues the tag. That gets you to 53k to 60k. Hope I didn’t ruin your trip to the Jeep dealer.

@@tommyh.8391 You were probably replying to someone else, any Chrysler dealership would be the last place I’d be going :D

​@weirdshibainu Not any more. Chinese native electric cars are dominating the market along with Tesla. Buick lost the war long ago. And even during that time Buick is not a premium brand. It's just a normal brand.

​@@ericsimons8560 Exactly. Buick brand in mainland China is on a par with Volkswagen. The premium brand from GM there is Cadillac, which is equivalent to Audi there.

Buick is likely the dullest brand on the US market. They lost any relevance they had about 45 years ago. There is literally no point to their existence outside of China at this point. This about a premium brand is the complete farce, it's bullshit. A Buick is no nicer than a top of the line anything from any family car brand. Hence why it's a failure here.

In 2011, Buick moved away from their core buyers (older middle class men) to a European styling (younger middle class couples). People didn't equate Buick with sportiness and bought European and Asian brands. Also, the people that used to buy Buicks, for their reasonable pricing and semi luxurious riding, also went elsewhere.

@@freetolook3727 Most of their traditional customer based has died off in the USA.

I had one of those myself. Front brake calipers seized every other year like clockwork. And the frame rusted to hell despite the fact that I powerwashed it every spring to get the road salt off. Toyota still can't figure out how to make a body -on-frame vehicle that doesn't rot out underneath.

@@Japplesnap well said!! I wouldn’t touch a Toyota…..too many issues

@@Japplesnap probably should have washed it more than once a year if you wanted to avoid rust…

@@goode.110 The undercarriage? No, not during the winter. Besides, i never wash the undercarriage of my Jeep and it doesn't rust.

eww

@@lordt78 - lol 😂 - it beats owning a RAV4

Nice

Sounds awful

Reliable? It’s only 4 months old… did you even wax it yet?

1. They are not always holding their value best. Toyota has always been a competitor. The reliability is the true support point for high resale value. The fun to drive and fun to own will be varying along with market makes it an unstable investment, if you want to talk about that. 2. You are not saving $20k+ for buying used. You are simply being ripped off by dealership that take advantage of your willingness to pay over book value. That's it. Period. 3. Jeep dealerships are the most garbage dealerships of all brands. They all scam money, but jeep is the only dealership that scam your money and do nothing making you angry.

@@ericsimons8560 The only parts of your posts that I disagree with is that the popularity of a vehicle, more than its reliability, is the main factor that determines its retail value. Popularity equals shortage of supply and scarcity of a product always increases its value. Second, in order to be ripped off the buyer has to be ignorant of the products value. The value of a product is based on many factors. Ten Jeeps with the same trim options, engines, & same model year will vary in price based on the overall condition of the vehicle, mileage, amount of, or lack of, modifications and customization of each vehicle. Is the vehicle a secondary vehicle or primary daily driver, does it exhibit evidence of significant off roading, was it ever wrecked or damaged, is the paint and interior in showroom condition or does it exhibit lack of care and maintenance? The Jeep I bought was in showroom new condition inside and out, it had a full maintenance record, the previous owner changed the oil and filter every 4,000 miles like clockwork just as the owners Manuel recommends. It’s mileage indicated it was a secondary vehicle, the clear coat paint was flawless indicating it was garaged when not in use. It looked and ran like it just came off the showroom floor. The seller was asking $5,000 over the black book suggested retail price for a Jeep in excellent condition and the seller wasn’t willing to negotiate the price. If it was my Jeep and I was selling it I’d ask more than that. To be ripped off I’d have to be unaware of all that I’ve noted. It was virtually a one of a kind used Jeep and I recognized its value due to its unique condition. As I noted, I’m retired so it’s just a toy for me to have fun with it. I would have paid up to $8,000 over its black book value, due to its unique showroom condition, so I wrote him a check on the spot. I’ve had it for six months now with no regrets or second thoughts. I’m confident I could sell it now for at least what I paid for it but I have no intention of doing that. I’ll keep it until I pass away and then I’ll leave it to my grandson, who is also my mechanic, that did all the customizing I wanted done on it. The value of any product is what a buyer is willing to pay for it. I didn’t buy my Jeep for an investment, I bought it to have fun with it and customize it the way I wanted it. One last thought. This is my third Jeep, and second Wrangler, that I’ve owned, and I’ve never had a major problem with any of them. Minor stuff yes, but nothing major. According to recent information, Ford is having significant major quality control issues and their new Bronco is having some very serious problems especially engine issues. According to recent published data Ford is losing $2 Billion a year in warranty claims. This is so serious Ford’s survival has become a real issue.

Sounds like the stealership in Greeley.

yeah. Chrysler products are absolutely horrible.

..... .YOU HAVE LC 300s ,prados , hi-lux and the 70 series ALL diesels .... if we could only get a troopy in the U.S w,e have no wagons that are suitable for car camping ,ovelanding why buy a jeep ? premium brand is LEXUS

because electric vehicles suck

We test drove one and loved it, was our favorite out of all the vehicles we test drove. We didn’t buy it cause the dealer had a $16 grand markup. I shut you not. I didnt know this when we asked for a test drive, once we came back and started talking about price I saw the final price on a separate sticker from the msrp. We apologized and said sorry for wasting your time but your dealership is out of its mind. Was an awesome grand Cherokee 4xe.

The 4xe doesn’t seem worth the money for the extra complexity and seemingly small return on fuel economy. If you drive in the city a lot, the electric only range gives you 25 miles. The cost of the electricity vs the cost of the gas you save takes a long long time to make it pay off. After the battery is depleted, the hybrid driving on the highway is 22 mpg. That’s worse than the V-6.

First generation vehicle?

This isn't an electric vehicle. It's a gas vehicle with a battery just large enough to claim the tax credit. Still, I was interested for a minute

I had the same issue when test driving it. I thought it was just me!

The coil springs make it really comfortable. Plus you get better traction on pavement with a solid dif. This is coming from a mechanical engineer here. Another positive note is the vibration frequency. The frequency associated with solid differentials under normal driving conditions are much better on human bone joints than independent suspension

Death Wobble at highway speeds is the risk and a well know issue that plagues moat all solid front axle vehicles... This condition can be very dangerous or even deadly!
