The CRAZY tales of Jeep sales & test drives 

I used to sell CJD too. Literally every customer has 10k in negative equity in their trade, a 400 credit score, thinks they need a Cummins diesel ram to tow their 1500lb boat or trailer, and wants the payment on said $75k truck to be $350 per month. This is not an exaggeration…

Salesman like this guy are the reason why car salesman have a bad name.

I hate that every dealer is filled with total clowns like this.

This guy claims he sold cars but he can't even sell me this story.

This guy does that weird thing where he lies and thinks he’s fooling people. In actuality people just go along with it cause it’s not worth arguing with him.

"Hired me on the spot" you know, Not after having to go in and bother them 4 times.

I like to picture Ed in the back while the guys tell the story. Just going “Mm Mm Mm, that’s a dang good story”

Very easy to have a lack of respect for property that is not yours.

After hearing this story I’m never buying one from that dealership which ever one that is lol

This guy....”You can’t roll a lifted Jeep” He oozes slimy car salesmen

I've worked at 3 different Jeep dealers in my life and none of them drove inventory like this. But I'm glad there are dealers like this out there giving us a bad name.

Imagine paying an arm and a leg for a brand new sports car and then finding out the morons at the dealership took your brand new, not yet run in car and proceeded to beat the living daylights out of it before handing it to you.

The awkward mouthy guy at the party with giant fish stories that everyone avoids.

I love dealership stories

Anyone else calling bs on the 60mph 90° turn? Lol he 3 wheeled it going 35mph but it was fine taking a 90° turn at 60?

Lol classic how this guy is proud of all the lies.

Don't put these bs stories on your channel Ed. You're better than that.

This video should be titled, "Why not to buy a car from this dealership" The way they drive cars they are going to sell is horrible.

Fun to hear stories but it confirms that ur car is abused half the time when u visit

9:10 Lying to customers and having disregard for the products is why I am never buying from a dealership again. I'd rather have Tesla level panel gaps than buy from a greedy clown who treats me like a moron...

9:40 "nobody's beaten the car up" weren't you JUST saying your manager drove a wrangler over three curbs and hit a planter? Your dealership is home to the beat up brand new car

So direct to consumer car sales is definitely a better experience in all aspects

Lies right through his teeth just like a proper dealer would🤣

you used to have to worry about buying a used car from a punk kid.. now it's the dealership that beats up the cars.. nice job

How does it not surprise me to hear that a preachers also a cars sales men.

Please PLEASE VinWiki change or at least dime down the volume of the song at the end of the video.... it’s more than unpleasant. Seriously

Loose lips sink ships, this guy would have gotten cement shoes if he was in the Mafia.

A good friend of mine in the dealer industry work for jeep in the mid to late 90s. The sales manager at the time flubbed and accidentally ordered to 22 instead of 2 yellow four cylinder wranglers. Dont remember if they were auto or manual but he said they took forever to sell them all

All that’s missing is “and everybody clapped.”

Just another video to prove: 1. Don't buy a new car from a dealership 2. Don't trust anybody that sells cars for a living

And this is why car dealerships have a bad name..

Yep seems a totally rational thing to do.

This guy has absolutely no idea what he's talking about and gives any real sales person/ anyone working at a dealer a bad name

Just shows you how true the stories are of sleazy car dealers.

Didn’t his parents teach him to take care of things, especially when they aren’t yours?

It would be interesting to find out what happens if that last story is reported to the manufacturer. They might not be to happy about it. It's amazing that employees are allowed to take out cars like the Hellcat, that they get 1 of, for joyrides...It's probably the reason why the Jeep TrackHawk doesn't allow launch mode until it hits 500 miles.

This Guy"s somewhere between 3/4 and 7/8 full

Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep of Paramus. I can see the store next to it in the pics. I bought my hellcat and my wrangler there. They are always busy.

Thanks to this story, everyone now can be SURE that every single employee in a car dealership is a lunatic and absolutely untrustworthy. Ed, are you running out of quality content to resort to people like this?

Anyone work In a dealer here? I know a mate who works for Mercedes nowhere near as exotic cars as your talking with the jeeps but he admits to me the pre delivery inspection route is around 6 miles he'll put like 15 miles on it just cause the thrill of cruising round the city in a 2021 number plate new car with basically no miles on the odometer is pretty cool connects phone to Bluetooth and cruise round on the "pre delivery inspection'

Yeah if I ever go to sell my jeep people are gonna be thrown off by the top speed saying 483 MPH. My GPS lost connection going through a tunnel in CO and it thought I Flew through it🤣

My brother was a lifelong service writer at multiple dealerships, mostly the local Ford and Mercury dealerships but his longest stint was at a Chrysler store, specifically The Jeep Store. He told me a story about how a lady was test driving a Grand Cherokee, spanking new no less, and she and the salesman were in a big empty parking lot, and he was telling her about the stability control system, and told her to make some extreme back and forth steering maneuvers to witness how it the system reduces throttle and applies brakes to maintain a safe and stable attitude. Well, apparently they lost track of whether or not the button was on or off, and at a velocity of about 20 mph she managed to tip the truck onto two wheels, only to catch it band overcorrection the opposite way and put this LOADED Grand Cherokee with less than 100 miles on the odometer on its roof. All by themselves. In an empty parking lot. Tires to the sky. Crazy. Techs would routinely test drive customers cars, and one time at the Ford dealership a tech was testing a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe and doing rails off a CD and managed to put this relatively new T-Bird across a drainage ditch, all four wheels hanging, each bumper on opposite sides, and he had a bloody nose and there was blow all over the interior of the car. Nice work. And on, and on, and on.

Come on Ed. Love u. The channel. And Car Trek. This guy is below your normal standard.

These stories make me miss my 2005 Grand Cherokee with a Hemi. I drove the snot of it like an SRT, but I hopped a few planters as well

I dealt with customers of all sorts while working at two different exotic dealerships. I learned really quickly that I control the experience and if it puts my life at risk, I’m going to shut that test drive down and take the wheel. One time had a customer who test drove a 991.2 C4GTS and he wasn’t too happy I stopped the drive he ordered an Uber back to the dealer because he refused to be with me after telling him he’s reckless. Ended up being $54k UPSIDE DOWN on an F80 M3 in individual viola metallic. Cya

I have to remember that line: "You should be glad you got this car, we tested it for you. " LOL

This dealership looks like it's in Paramus, New Jersey. Crazy stories.

Imagine the hellcat and trackhawk test drives xD

A fun little muscle car I have never heard someone call a challenger little

Lets be honest, 75% of licensed drivers should have them revoked

Im a valet at a Jeep dealership and can confirm that most of the workers - salesmen, valets, managers, mechanics, have any respect for customers or potential customers vehicles.

Perfect ending to my last day of school !! Love from England

So they will abuse your new car sell it to u then lie to ur face cool

#1 car jacked product in Chicago. Jeep.

I see Ed's trying to keep the algorithm happy today. You win some & you lose some.

I work at a dodge delarship can confirm we’d never even think of doing shit like this

If this guy showed up to steal my baby if I didn't know his name, I wouldn't be surprised. He seems like someone that has only had one cool thing happen to him, but all his other stories are made up or come from other people he worked with.

I work at the FCA Brampton Assembly Planet we make he Charger Challenger and 300 , we do not have a test track! And we do quality checks on all are cars, never seen an engineering sticker.

The last story made me chuckle. I used to be a tech for FCA and we had a hellcat challenger come in for a PDI, like 4 miles on the car and it had 199 mph on the performance page. Nobody at the dealer had driven it yet, it rolled off the truck that am.

I sold brand new Ford Performance Vehicles here in Australia when i was 21... turbo Barras and supercharged Miami V8 falcons...lotta fun, but my god it has to be the worst industry globally....just full of the most unscrupulous individuals.

Worked at a dealership for 10 years. I can promise these kind of things happen at every dealership…

Had a 2014 6.4 Hemi AEV in red with 37s. Awesome package. Averaged about 8 mpg during ownership.

Glad no dealership employees got to joy ride my Hellcat back in 2016 when I bought it. It was sitting in the middle of the showroom with only 2 miles on it!

There is no test track at the factory I worked there lmao they actually test drive them on the public road 😂

i would like to see a lifted jeep do a 90 turn at 30mph....... no way it can do that at 60mph as he said in the video 60mph haha

I've worked at different dealerships as a detailer and I've heard stories like this alot.

I've been binging all the old vinwiki videos and can't get enough.... until this guy. First video I shut off.

The fact his car was driven at 172 and this guy was able to convince him that it was a good think makes me think that he is the type or person who could make you see the brightside of your girlfriend being in a train.

You know I had the rare opportunity to valet park one of those Modern Warfare 3 jeeps a couple years back. Literally no one besides me and the owner knew why that Jeep was special. All my Co workers thought the dude had a weird car. I made sure I parked it. Ain't ever gonna get a chance to drive one again. I even have the matching T shirt for it.

9:19 smfh!! 😂😂😂 you can’t even trust buying Hellcats new!

You remember the Harlem scene in Die Hard 3? Same if you come to Germany with his shirt on 😂

Ed, not unlike a cowbell, we got to have more of "this guy". You know, because we got a fever......and the only prescription is more " *this guy* ".

You heard it everyone don’t trust the dealerships

Guys like these is why I order cars to be delivered straight to me from the factory. I don't even let them detail it.

Loved the CJ-7 Jeep I had back in the 80's. Rolled it by accident, stop on it's hood I took off the set belt fell to the roof crawled out grabbed the side and rolled it back to all 4 wheels which was easy with a few friends as it was still on a incline almost at the bottom of hill. Once back on all 4 wheels it started right back up and I drove it out of the area & back home without a single problem other then some dings and scraps.

He reminds he’d work in the kind of dealership that sells used high end cars/exotics that salvage & flood titles

I worked retail sales for 7years in Portland Oregon. I can vouch for the madness. Things that stick out from my time: So many demo plates on new cars at the local strip club that we got banned for parking there. We moved to the Taco Bell next door. 😆 Between our desk mangers and salesmen I could buy any drug I wanted or gun, or fake Rolex or even fake Louie bags for your stripper girl friend. I worked there in the late 90s to early 200s. Way before car, fax and kbb and internet madness. We had no cell Phones around to record us. So we were a bunch of criminals in suits 😂 Yes I kicked people out on the side of the road during test drives and made them walk back. Yes we took brand new corvettes for lunch and wrx’s and any other brand new high power car we had in inventory. We did high rpm couch dumps and everything u can imagine. Drag raced brand new cars 😆 Yes. We were a holes. Then sold people the cars the next day. Those are just some I can say on line.

I am a carsalesman that works in a dealership in Scotland, I 100% believe these stories.

I had a friend that bought a grand Cherokee SRT8 from this dealership (Based on photos in the video) and heard that they have rolled back mileage on odometers.

Tbh I bought my Porsche over other competitive vehicles from bmw or Audi particularly due to the level of the service I received at Porsche. Those guys were absolute professionals and know what good service is. They’re not abusing inventory or customer vehicles. They all appeared to be very experienced and responsible salesmen. I didn’t get that same vibe from bmw or Audi that for one weren’t nearly as polite or courteous but also a much younger staff overall who weren’t as knowledgeable with their vehicles. The Porsche salesmen showed me around various vehicles and detailed all the minute details from memory for each one and showed the various trim options and improvements. The Audi/bmw dealers weren’t awful but it was apartment they didn’t have that same level of knowledge on their products. End of the day good service may not always sell but for me it made a huge difference and I spent a bit above my budget to get into a Porsche macan gts that I totally enjoy and the people at Porsche made buying the car a very nice memorable experience. Also nice to know they’re not hot rodding my car in service trips lol. I doubt the folks who work on high end 911’s or 918’s have any interest in my little macan gts haha

My Favorite version of the srt Jeep In The Thumbnail

I'd like to know what dodge factory has an test track. car salesman man... smh

Nothing but lies and shadiness at a dealership? I'm shocked!

I worked At the plant where the challengers and chargers are built and I can guarantee they dont have a test track where you can get up to 170 mph lol.

The reason those wranglers don't flip even though they roll is the solid axle. A ton of the overall weight is unsprung weight at the lowest point of the vehicle and that doesnt change when you lift

Usually I enjoy VinWiki stories, but this was turrable. They all can't be good ones

This was fun to hear. I have an AEV Upfitted jeep and loved hearing about it

8:33 Early Scat Packs didn't have sunroofs because Scat Packs were supposed to be stripped down models and a sunroof added weight...

Gotta love people bragging about how badly they drive all over town. What a terrible dealership and a terrible way to treat products that aren’t your own. Hope they went out of business honestly.

When you fail at everything in your professional life, you go into sales. When you fail in sales, you go into car sales...

Hearing him call wranglers trucks hurts my soul

"Body roll is significant" "but you can't roll it." Yeah okay dummy.

My father in law owns the only flat bed AEV brute with a 5.7l hemi swap. Super awesome rig. Pictures of it are on the 4 state 4 wheel drive Facebook page.

I love these stories

I love the constant uploads

I love many mopar products but jeep.... I leased a compass limited a few years ago. Thank god I changed purchase to lease. The thing looked great and had all the cool options and was pretty nice to drive besides the fact it couldn't get out of it's own way. It burned more oil than the Exxon Valdez leaked. I brought it in with 3200 miles because it would randomly activate the parking brake in intersections. Turns out it was bone dry on oil. No check engine light, no oil light, no warning light at all. Dealership said I have to change the oil every 3k regardless of what the owners manual said. I fought them for 36 months. I can honestly say that in 44982 miles I never once changed the oil. I'd bring it in every 3k they'd screw on a new filter, fill it back up with oil and swear up and down this is "perfectly normal". That experience has lead me to believe I should NEVER buy another mopar product or I should only buy mopar products because they can withstand nearly 45k miles on little to no oil. Around the 2200 mile mark between fills the little tigershark starts to get a little loud in the valvetrain area.

Im 22 and already have at least 50 amazing dealership stories

I love how my first and second ads were for jeeps

We were definitely in Route 4 at the same time. I was your CPO manager at one point.

I tested the auto brake feature in a 2019 Yukon Denail ... $81,000 . Yes it barley stops in time and is terrifying lmao 😂😂
