I drove a Subaru Baja for a little more than 7 years, great car loved it. It just doesn’t tow even a small boat that well up boat ramps and I needed something with more towing capacity. Obviously the only choice was a Jeep Wrangler of course.

Buying Experience

I purchased the vehicle from David Stanley (74th St. Location) in Oklahoma City – They sold it to me with four flat tires and didn’t see the need to mention that to me. They must have been airing it up 3 times a day to keep it floating on the 35” tires for test drives.  You can imagine my annoyance when I stepped out into my driveway to drive my new Jeep to work the next day only to find all four tires sitting on the rims.  Turns out the bead locks were improperly installed and had absolutely no air tight seal on the under side of the outer tire edge.  I spent the next two days after work removing the wheels, taking the tires off the wheels, removing the bead locks and sealing them with silicone. Six months later they still hold air like a champ with no leaks. I expect dealers to withhold minor flaws here and there to make a sale, but seriously… how pathetic do you have to be to sell someone a vehicle with four flat tires and not disclose that to the buyer.

While the sales department may have some rotten apples, the finance department in my experience has been wonderful. I’ve had to call them many times to coordinate between my warranty company and John Vance (where the Jeep was getting serviced) to get the coverage issues straitened out. Right from the beginning they honored the warranty they sold me, no run around. Each different finance agent said the same thing “yep, you should be covered.”

So, buy an extended warranty on used cars!
