Jeep Wrangler Tops List for 3rd Year in a Row

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

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.
