Bad Jeep from terrible dealer!

Nothing but problems from day one. Literally check engine light came on during the trip home and hasn’t been off more than two weeks. Went from cylinder three misfire to the valve right to cylinder 6 misfire. Feels like engine will drop out of vehicle since egr was replaced. Never dealing with Fred beans again!!!!

Best vehicle we’ve owned

None better, our wrangler has been the most reliable, dependable, and durable vehicle we’ve possessed in nearly 25 years. Beep, beep...we love JEEP Cherokee, Patriot and Wrangler

My first car

I love it and it is what I wanted for my first car and I’m glad it had all the upgrades too esp blue which 2008 did not have.

Know BEFORE you BUY

I own a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited 4-door. 90,000 miles. This is my dream vehicle. I knew going into purchasing this vehicle that this was exactly what I wanted. I will never own anything else. I did my research, and knew exactly what I was getting into. I knew Jeeps can have death wobble if you do not properly keep up on Maintainence such as tire rotations and alignments. I also knew that Jeeps are a bumpy ride, they’re not made for luxury. I knew that my Jeep would most likely have electrical quirks with wiring and such. I also knew my gas mileage would only be 11-19 mph. A Jeep is a long term investment, even more so then many other vehicles. I bought my baby so I could take care of her and customize to my hearts desire. For people just wanting to buy something because it “looks cool” think again. Do your homework before you commit to something that may not be the right fit for you. I use my Jeep for Commuting and having fun. Works beautifully for me!

Gas guzzling, oil burning money pit

This car burned oil, had to have It’s engine replaced and it was terrible on gas mileage. I was lucky if I was getting 12 miles to the gallon, outside of the fun design and the ability for the soft top to be removed there is nothing else that I liked about this vehicle

Great vehicle for the price

This vehicle may have been older than I anticipated purchasing but the previous owner really took good care of it. Looks and drive like new. I’m very pleased with my purchase!
