Odd mileage on a new Gladiator on a dealer lot.

[Falcor]

I have emailed the dealer a few times trying to figure out what is up with this Jeep, but keep getting the run around. Any idea why this 2022 has 172k on it? I have a feeling they may have gotten the photos mixed up, but something doesn't seem right.

If that JT has been driven like that, it sure smells like a discount to me.

I met a dude at the dealer when I was getting my tires rotated. He has 125k on his 11 ‘moth old gladiator.

I asked him how

“I love driving it”

The weird thing is they are selling it as new. I have a feeling it was a loaner/shop truck.

DANG! I was all impressed that I hit 10k... Definitely something wrong here. That truck is too clean for that mileage. Most certainly an error on that pic.

Damn that’s impressive. Could have also been a personal vehicle for a dealership owner or manager. While technically legal I hate seeing dealers sell stuff like this as new because it’s pretty deceiving. Also they need to drop this price a LOT more.

Is that an Overland front bumper?

Ask the dealer what the what is....

So here is where it gets fucked up. I once inquired about a power wagon at my local dealer. The salesman told me that the owner was using it as a personal vehicle and it has 50k On it. I was like ok cool so were selling it at a discount used?

"No this will be sold at full price because it is a new vehicle"


I'm not sure if it works this way in most states but if a vehicle is used as a loner, or the manger is just strutting around with it. Until that vehicle is sold and titled it is considered a "NEW" vehicle. That is not a new vehicle to me but its a shitty way dealers work the system. At the price they want for that stay far a way. No warranties on a financed car? Nah.

Over Email you’ll not got a straight answer.

Nonetheless you gave me a great huh moment.

"The Cooper Auto Group has been earning your trust since 1946"
How is that going?

 

[cico7]

Looks like they are still showing it as "NEW".
I had a field car still on MSO with 50,000 miles on it because I didn't register it.

The link does not work any more., but odd the description of the vehicle as pre owned in an older link when running the VIN in google. Cooper Direct Auto only sells used vehicles…..

I’ve encountered this a few times too. Freaking delusional to think they can get MSRP. Technically until it is registered for the first time it is a new vehicle, even if it’s worn out.

I thought it was an awesome deal until I saw the mileage. Too good to be true. Looks like I'll still be ordering.
