Sadly, its steep entrance fee and lack of dealer understanding and support meant that buyers really didn't get it either. Oh well, they're a bargain on eBay."
Well, I guess we "got it." But what was written about dealer lack of understanding certainly is true. This was in Newsday 1/4/09
So totally true about the lack of dealer understanding- we have had so many comments from the local Dodge dealer (where I am a former employee) that this was a "dumb" choice- and that we should Trade it in before there is anything wrong or we need new tires! LOL How are 007's new tires ( $1273 out the door at Discount for Goodyear F1 GS-D3 with road haz and stuff) any different than the ones they buy for their Excursions, Tahoes and other vehicles? ( IF they bought a step up from the cheap-ies)
We even had a former Tranny- tech tell my parents that this was the worst thing we could have bought.... HELLO I JUST SAID FORMER! LOL Maybe there is a reason he is FORMER then!
