Delaware Jeep Car Dealers

I want to share a horrible experience I had yesterday with the hopes that all of you in the Chicagoland area will be able to avoid a similar situation. In a nutshell, stay AWAY from Advantage Jeep/Chryler/Dodge aka Des Plaines J/C/D. They just this past week took over the Mancari Des Plaines J/C/D. Here's my story. I'm in the market for a '06 Jeep GC Ltd with the 5.7L Hemi. I had done my homework and knew what the magic number needed to be to drive home in a new Jeep. Did initial research online and found a few dealers that had the truck I was interested in. Des Plaines being one of them. Went over to Des Plaines yesterday afternoon. Sales guys were actually really nice, very knowledgeable and weren't pressuring at all. The GM got involved and to my initial pleasure, we came to a deal. Shook hands, they started the paper work, high fives were exchanged, the car was sent to the service bay for detailing, I called my insurance agent...the whole nine yards. Spent the next THREE hours in the dealership as I was told the finance manger was busy and that he would be available shortly to complete the paper work. They were sorry. Another hour later, I was asked to go into an office as the sales manager approaches me and said "Hey buddy, come over here." Hey buddy??? Long story short, they rescinded the deal saying they had made a mistake in the initial calculations. Blah..blah..blah... (FYI, i have "A" credit, so that had nothing to do with the "mistake.") The next hour was a fairly heated exchange between myself, the sales manager, the finance manger, general manger, you name it...I spoke with them. They said it was a mistake but I think that's BS. My issues are two fold. One, they didn't honor a deal we made in person! Two, it took them more than three hours to approach me with the news. I can only assume they were trying to keep me there as long as possible so as to wear me out! In my book, once you agree to do something, you make it happen. If they made a mistake, they should have honored the price. In all my experience in buying a car, I have never heard of anything like this. Feel free to send me an email and I can get into more details. Please friends, avoid this place like fresh spinach from california and tell all of your friends to do the same.

MDS - multicyliner de-activation. Half the engine shuts off when you are driving sanely. So you get a 20% increase in gas economy. I get roughly the same milage as my 2000 JGC Ltd 4.7V8. I got it back in early Feb when they were just arriving. They wanted 39,999 with everything except navi & rear DVD - which is EXCACTLY what I wanted. I talked them down to 37,500 and then the 2500$ rebate so I made out ok. Plus I have had a DVD / Garmin Nav installed in the passenger fold-down. They took the mirror out and put a small flat screen in there - it even has touch + voice. I have the Hemi and QuadraDrive II so unlike the srt-8 I can still seriously go off road. I kinda find the srt-8 a bit much - but I am SURE the 6.1 without MDS will have the economy of a Hummer - Mark my words. Theres a reason why we have not seen any info on that ..... goto wk.jeeps.com....
