2nd that, I LL'd 2 cars thru them and it was a smooth & relatively painless process. Dodge by comparison was a monkey f@#king a football !!
I looked into when the 2500 Ram started giving me transmission problems and I was feeling like they were going to keep patching it back together instead of fixing it correctly.

Ram wasn't listed on their website as a participant. Either was any of the other brands that Stellantis has.

Interesting. I remember when I had a buy back with GM back in 2004, the process was quick. But it seems with Dodge, I've had to go over the head of those departments multiple times to even get people claims approved even for a Demon that had issues
If you are so inclined you can pass on the TK that he lost a long time (since '84) customer over the whole ordeal with my DDSRT. As I told the rep at the end, if Jenkins & Plaza hadn't been such shitbirds & fixed the laundry list of small issues like they were suppose to do, I would have agreed to something reasonable as compensation for the missing feature and would still be driving it today instead of the Genesis.

I was also a long time customer of that store (originally owned by the Lamb's, then bought out by sleazebag Jenkins), but an 18 year history clearly meant squat to them.

I did get a bit of revenge tho (well maybe). Genesis sent a survey after I bought the GV70 and one of the questions was why did I go all the way to Lakeland instead of using either the Ocala or Leesburg stores. My response was because both those stores were owned by Jenkins and I'd walk rather than buy anything from them !

Is the BMW store in Ocala owned by Jenkins?

I went there to look at a M3 Competition Xdrive and they lie like a rug.

IMO you chose wisely to dump it while trade-in values were high & snagging the Tundra instead.

Sent the Challenger away at the same time. We haven't missed it and it's cut back on just keeping up another car plus expenses.

Now I see the Charger sitting there hardly being used...

No, they are owned by Gettel who is just as bad as Jenkins & always had been !
Here is their fine print:
Prices are PLUS tax, tag, title fee, $1,199 Pre-Delivery Service Charge** and $485 Electronic Registration Filing Fee** and dealer installed options. New, Pre-owned and Certified vehicle pricing excludes $1995 Gettel Advantage.

Sooooooo - they want $4000+ over MSRP on every car just to shake your hand !

When you lie to me and you think that I don't know or can tell means you think that I'm a fucking moron.

🤣🤣🤣

Is it me or does it seem like there is a lot of problems with the 23's?

All of the dealers down here do the same fees, for used cars they call it “used vehicle reconditioning”. It’s sickening, but I waited for them to drop the price of the car $5k so I didn’t feel that bad about it

If I was Tim K I’d let my staff know that if I had to get involved in any more vehicle buy backs someone’s getting fired. What’s the point of having a department to handle this if he has to babysit?
