We went to the Jeep dealership today to talk about buying an Unlimited. Wife has had Jeeps for years and wants the 4-door version now since we sold her Wrangler yesterday.
I've been friends with the sales manager there for years. He said business in very slow and they have cut back on their inventory. He said he has talked with other dealers in the area and they are all feeling the pain. Most of the dealers he has spoken with are not ordering hardly any 2009 models since they are not getting any help from Chrysler to move the 2008's.
I was reading one of the trade mags while I was there and it said Chrysler is up for sale and the investors want out now.
These guys at Chrysler have no idea how to run a car business. They need incentives and given the state of the economy, we're not buying another Jeep without some incentives.
You have to wonder what the long term survival possibilities are for Chrysler and Jeep in particular.
