Less mileage means less likelihood. 40 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 3: Somebody worked on it and made a mistake, right, And 41 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 3: I would I would pay for that, I really would. Now, 42 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you the way I think about Jeep 43 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 3: and Chrysler, and no offense to Jeep in Chrysler owners. 44 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 3: I think you know, Jeep and Chrysler are still in 45 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: one of my top five choices. 46 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: They're not at the top top, but. 47 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 3: There some reliability issues some of the things that break 48 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 3: and fail. I don't think I would buy a new 49 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: or used Jeep or Chrysler without putting an extended warranty 50 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 3: on it. And that's just being honest. 51 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 4: You know, would you go for a three year or 52 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 4: a five year five? Five? Five? 53 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: All right? I think it's I think it's worth the value. 54 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 3: Jeeps are funny, well, jeeps are funny, critter Steve, all right. 55 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 3: You know, it seems that there are some out there 56 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: that fifty thousand miles they need an engine, and there 57 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 3: are some out there one hundred fifty thousand miles and 58 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 3: they're running strong. 59 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: And I can't figure it out. There's no rhyme or reason. 60 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: I've got customers. 61 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: I've got one customer, his son's got a fifteen Wrangler. 62 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: It's got one hundred and sixty three thousand miles on it. 63 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: He changes the oil, he does his regular maintenance, he 64 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: lets us do the big services and so forth, and 65 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 3: that thing's a brick. 66 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: It just keeps going. 67 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 3: And then I've got some other ones that same service, 68 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 3: same treatment, same driving habits, and they're junk. 69 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: They're just it just doesn't hold up, and you sit 70 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: there and you scratch your head. 71 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 4: So you know what, I think the V eight is 72 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 4: a little more reliable than. 73 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 3: The Yes, yes, as long as it doesn't have any 74 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: of the valve train issues and you stay up on 75 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 3: your oil changes. And let me tell you that vehicle 76 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 3: is that engine has some specific oil requirements, and I 77 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: would follow it like religion. 78 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 4: All right, Is that right? Yeah? 79 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: I would buy, Yeah, I would. 80 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: I would be using Chrysler Speck oil in that vehicle, 81 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: and I would be dumping it every five to six 82 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: thousand miles every five to six months. I don't care 83 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: what the manufacturer tells me. I don't want to hear 84 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 3: about extended oil drain intervals and all that nonsense, because 85 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: it sounds like you're gonna buy this and try and 86 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 3: get one hundred and fifty tw hundred thousand miles out 87 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 3: of it. 88 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. 89 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: And the reason I say a five year service contract 90 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 3: is because you know, if if it gets to that 91 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 3: seventy five eighty thousand mile one hundred thousand mile mark 92 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: and nothing's gone wrong, he got your value out of it. 93 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: But if the engine pukes at sixty five thousand miles, 94 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: at least it's covered, right, and you know it's you're 95 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 3: not buying You're not buying a cheap automobile, all right. 96 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 4: No, this you got to get the over Land or 97 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 4: the summit to get the VA right, and it's. 98 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 3: All the bells are all right, listen, there's a reason 99 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: my jeep guy. You know, listen, every business owner has 100 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 3: a has a guy. Right, I've got a guy that 101 00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: sells me jeep parts. I got a guy that sells 102 00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 3: me GM parts and so on. My jeep guy drives 103 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: a Ford Mustang, okay. And I asked him, I said 104 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 3: why And he said how many times do you call 105 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: for parts? And I said, well, quite often, he said, 106 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 3: And that's the reason, because. 107 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: He sees what breaks. And it's it's not that you know. 108 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 3: Listen, all cars break, but Chrysler seems to have some 109 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 3: issues with parts distribution. It's gotten better, but you know, 110 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 3: I'm just cautious, man, I'm just cautious. 111 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 2: Would I like to own a jeep, Yes, I just 112 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: don't have time to fix one. And and that's and 113 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: that's the bottom line. But but but if you really 114 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 2: like that. 115 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 3: Twenty three dreep Jeep Grand Cherokee, and you like that 116 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: V eight, and you've driven that vehicle and I know 117 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: the vehicle you're talking about. 118 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: If that's the vehicle. 119 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 3: That floats your boat by it, by all means, just 120 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 3: just find a guy to work on it, regular maintenance, 121 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: a service contract, form. 122 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 2: A relationship with the dealership. 123 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: If that's where it's gonna go right right, and just 124 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 3: enjoy the vehicle. 125 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you, Ron.

Now, see, 127 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 4: I'm at a new car dealer now, and they can 128 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 4: only draw from their dealership. Now. Supposedly they have fifty 129 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 4: one dealerships, so maybe they can get the V eight. 130 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 4: But this huge car guy, obviously he probably got it 131 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 4: with an auction and it's in Tennessee or something. But 132 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 4: he had three V eights, and I don't know if 133 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 4: I'm going to be able to get a V eight 134 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 4: with this dealership the area. 135 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 2: Don't negotiate with yourself, Steve. 136 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, just hold to the hold to the V eight. 137 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, hold for the VA.
