Jeep Wrangler Tops List for 3rd Year in a Row

Posted on by

If there is one thing that fans and critics can agree on, it’s the quality of the Jeep Wrangler.

As shown in the Sacramento Bee, the Wrangler is appearing for the third year in a row on Kelley Blue Book’s Best Resale Value in its class. It’s also the second year that the Jeep has been on the Top 10 list.

As Eric Ibara, director of residual consulting for Kelley Blue Book, notes about the third year win for the Jeep, “The iconic Wrangler leads the Jeep brand’s residual values. Not only does Jeep Wrangler command a significant amount as a used vehicle but it does so consistently year after year. Not surprisingly, Wrangler again finds itself on Kelley Blue Book’s Top 10 list.”

In case you’re wondering who has been awarding the honors on the Wrangler for years now, Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com Best Resale Value awards are done by their staff of automotive analysts. They take a look at how well the vehicle can hold its price over five years of ownership.

Drivers know a good deal when they see one. That’s one way of seeing it with Wrangler seeing a spike in sales. Stop by Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge and take one for a test drive to see what all the hype is about. You can view the rest of the Jeep family online with our Showroom.

Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition Celebrates Veterans Day

Posted on by

Just in time for Veterans Day, Jeep has a new vehicle rolling out to honor those serving in the military.

It’s a perfect fit, the Jeep rose to renown for being created for and use in World War 2. Since then, the name has come to mean the best in off-road. When the Jeep Wrangler Freedom Edition hit the dealer floor, it was a big hit with fans and had fantastic sales. Following that success is now the Jeep Patriot with its own Freedom Edition. Being made with the brands military history in mind, it’s also a tribute to the men and women who serve.

The hood of the Patriot sports a military-inspired star as well as on the rear quarter panel. On the lower front door is the phrase “Oscar Mike” which is military jargon for “on the move.” The exterior will come in different patriotic flavors with the choice of either red, white, or blue.

Jeep is also taking the next step to make sure that when someone purchases the Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition that they are showing support of our armed forces. Each vehicle sold will put $250 towards charities that benefit the US military.

Interested in getting a Jeep that is one of a kind and also shows support for the troops, than contact Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge and let us know. Be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter as well for more Jeep news and offers.

No Contest: Jeep Grand Cherokee is the Best!

Posted on by

When it comes to the quality of Jeep, there’s no competition. Don’t just take my word for it, the editors of Drive agree with that statement.

Drive has made the announcement that they have chosen the winner of their best four-wheel-drive of the year for 2012. That winner is none other than the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The interesting thing to take note of with the win isn’t the competition that the Grand Cherokee was up against, however. It’s that the Jeep won without a fight.

The judges are so certain that the Jeep doesn’t have a serious enough challenge that they didn’t feel the need to have a drawn out process. Not another vehicle even came close enough to produce a shred of doubt in their minds. It’s never happened before in the seven-years this award has been handed out, no other car has had such a staggering victory against the competition.

The love affair with the Grand Cherokee started the previous year when the Jeep took the lead away from the Land Rover Discovery. When compared to the Jeep’s improved interior, refined road manners, and the incredible value, there was just no contest.

Contact Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge for a test drive and see why the Jeep Grand Cherokee deserves all the love it is receiving. View our new and pre-owned inventory online as well. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter of more Jeep news and dealership offers.
