Jeep has lost their minds…
For real yo! 😮
One problem is that they're attaching premium pricetags to basic vehicles.
On top 8.9 rate on loans with 760 credit
I was going to trade in my 2017 Durango RT AWD for the latest version but I looked at the sticker and laughed. I’ll keep what I got . They think we are all FOOLS?
💯
Looks like they're intentionally bankrupting the company.
@@tonyvega7268You’re exactly right. My wife and I have top tier credit and that’s the kind of interest rate they were offering. It’s ridiculous.
Stellantis hasn’t noticed that “normal” people do not want an all electric anything. They go all EV, they will go broke. I cannot fathom paying $80,000 for any vehicle…..hell, I think $40,000 is too much.
Facts
I wonder how long before Mark’s pictures is posted at the dealership with the caption below “If this guy is seen on the lot call security!” 😂
I alway thought about that 🤣
That $90,000 truck will end up costing you approximately $150,000 after accounting for interest and additional fees.
@Dxeus you're probably pretty close to that, then after you drive off the lot then you will be back to $75k
Only if your stupid enough to buy one at that price!
A Rubicon is 106k financed on 8.9 rate
@@tonyvega7268
What a 392?
@@Dxeus no doubt, you have a choice. Buying an overpriced truck, or use that money to buy a house. Insanity to the Nth degree!
Everyone wants to go upmarket these days and to hell with normal people
Manufacturers saw dealer markups the last few years and said, "hey, why shouldn't we get that money?" and priced a lot of people out of the market.
@doom4067 Exactly!!. Why would they change? They will die on this hill.
100k for a pickup truck😂😂😂 can't be serious😂😂😂
If they started putting optional campers on them, at least they could advertise them as $100,000 homes on wheels. These prices are unfathomable.
Prices should be exactly what it says on the manufacturers website. Dealer fees, tax and title included in that price. If there's a sale it should be advertised on the website and you can go to the dealer and get it at that price. No more having to negotiate or argue with dealerships.
The problem with putting the out the door price on the website is that they location of sale will determine the tax, title, and license fees.
@doom4067 That's not a problem at all. Everytime you buy something online out of state, they automatically charge you your state sales tax. They will know the costs for each state.
that is the exact reason my partner and i haven't purchased new since 2018(Wrangler)...we hate the dealership experience...it's not pleasant at all...high pressure tactics, hidden fees and hours to make a purchase...and the uneasy feeling that we somehow got ripped off when we finally make a purchase.....as long as our current Wrangler has no major issues (it hasn't so far)...we are staying away.
@@michelle-lz8tg Smart way to go. We've been looking for a new truck for 5 years... still looking. The feeling of being ripped off is common, for valid reasons of course.
They think that the middle class is just rolling in cash and just loves to waste it on an overpriced hunk of rolling plastic and bad reliability.
Gas? EV? We just said “screw it” bought a hybrid and called it a day.
Thank you for this inflation Joke Biden
Stellantis...overcharging for unreliable, troublesome, and junky vehicles. Buyers who have not already wasted their money on one...have "gotten smart."
Absolutely, I just said Pretty much the same thing that you just said but over on TK's Garages channel. These people want us to pay them money to literally us for inferior products. I am happy with my Mazda CX-5 and plan on keeping it for a long time.
That’s why they are in dire straits at the current situation
Love to get a 2 door rubicon
Jeep has lost their damn mind with the prices
Yes prices have gotten silly
If Stellantis were smart they would dump everything from CDJR except the wrangler and ram. Then drop the prices on those two by 30% to compensate for the trash quality.
I agree, but Jeeps have been going downhill with quality with the death wobble
The dealers need models to attract customers. The Hornet isnt' going to do that.
@@Vincent-ke5zn they haven’t been going down - every Jeep product has always been horrible. People just overlook it because you can pull the roof and doors off.
@@Vincent-ke5zn Shrinking your way to health doesn't work so well for auto companies.
I am waiting for that drop
They have simply stopped making a vehicle I wish to buy. I don't want 4 doors, I want an 8 foot box, I need nothing for options.................... they either don't make them, or they sell them immediately.
Being old and debt free I’m in the minority and I could afford one of these vehicles. Manufactures big problem is people like me don’t need these vehicles and simply refuse to overpay for them. That and most of my younger friends are underwater on their loans from getting ripped off during Covid. When they go to trade they owe $6k to $8k more than the vehicle is worth. Sucks for them but sucks even more for dealers and manufactures who are at least 3 to 5 years minimum before these customers are back in the market. Don’t even get me started on interest rates.
85k greed will backfire on them. No one in their right mind wants a 7 to 8 year auto loan, and can not afford to pay that price for a jeep. 😂🤣
You hit the hammer directly on the nail, the OEM's wasn't listening to the consumers. Making garbage the buyers don't want and or can't afford. It's way too late for direct sale to buyers, you can thank the stealerships for that.
Continue your mission brother. The OEMS NEED TO HEAR THIS TRUTH.
Another good presentation! Surprised that Stellantis doesn’t try to kick you off their dealership lots!
Keep up the good work!
Zambelli's is getting a lot of free advertising. Do they ever offer you a free lunch/dinner? They should!
Haha cheers
@@markholubetz
I looked up Zambelli's they are in Edmonton, they also have pizza subs!
Awesome video brother! ❤ 🇨🇦 🇺🇸…
Lunchbox Joe 😂 love that analogy
These high prices are stemmed by government corruption and union corruption.
i d say there is uaw costs but also just corporate greed.
@@subaruamazon
It’s not the UAW, labor is like 5% of the cost
It’s corporate greed
@@lordrayden3045 really? how do u see this mess playing out?
@@subaruamazon
Yes
Labor is like 5-6% of a vehicles cost
And if thst means a vehicle’s price goes up $400 so other Americans have a good job in fine with that
Problem is corporate profits, not revenue have skyrocketed.
That’s corporate greed
@@lordrayden3045 does 5 to 6 percent include uaw wages, healthcare and retirement?
One of your best videos yet. Another point is the insurance bump of buying a new vehicle. EV's are even worse, and they are jacking up the price on all vehicles to accommodate the change.
What happens they get a taxpayer funded bailout for their poor multimillion dollar management teams.
@@ericflood4738 last time the tax payers made money investing in the auto companies
However, we still managed to mess it up and not attach enough strings and keep their ownership stake
That is the plan.
Only American corporations have a chance to be bailed out.
Stellantis is not American. 🤨
That said, I’m completely against all bailouts! They’re detrimentally opposed to American philosophy of capitalism.
Talk about those short bed trucks and their utility. Great channel.🎉
Well said!!!
They'll rust before they sell... Then what?
It's $44k for base model 2 door jeep wrangler sport with zero upgraded options out the door. I want one, but I'm not paying that much unless it's a willys with the few options I want.
A couple of years ago Willys was in the 30s.
@@Iceman-bu1egsub 30k Jeeps would be sweet. Carlos needs to realize I’d love a gladiator, but I can’t afford a gladiator. Because I’m just a normal Joe who’s making $18 a hour in a inflated economy. Honestly don’t even think financing 20k is doable with the interest rates and high prices. Imma just settle for a cheap car and save for a good time
@@SpeedDemonExpress
$44K should be the cost of a rubicon
We're a lower income family so I bought a base model Corolla, the most popular gasoline powered car in the world, so parts are cheap and available and with my trade-in I bought it new for under 20 thousand dollars. I just can't afford " house " money to pay for a lousy truck or jeep.
Remember, the customer is always right. And I don't want all the electronics.
My CJDR dealer literally needs to rent an additional lot to accommodate all the inventory Stellantis is dumping on them
Anybody making less than $250,000 a year has a 0.0% chance of purchasing one of these, especially at today's interest rates. Of course the dumb ones are but how many bankruptcies can the dumb ones endure?
Fiskar is an example of what happens. Fiskar is bankrupt.
@@glennso47 what?
It’s Fisker. I know the person from back in school. Just a rich kid with little design talent.
I'm going to continue to wait to get a new truck. I'm not paying 50k for a mid level "v6" Bighorn 1500 with some options. Yet I keep seeing dealers here in Ohio with litterally 100's and 100's or Rams, per dealer, just rotting on the lots. Kinda sad to see all those trucks sit there but with high prices it makes you mad and you just want them to rot even nore.
I really do agree and their pride will be their demise
Someone was eating chicken wings while stealing rims? .....and people say Canadians are easy to read.. Lol
The only reason why the Ram 1500’s have any sales figures is because they still sell the previous generation Ram Classic
Back in the pre stellantis days of basic transportation like the Dodge Grand Caravan, it seems like Chrysler group had a lot more going for it because they sold affordable, basic transportation. Their other problem was leaving the same models for 10 or so years without any real changes or mid cycle refreshes, so things got stale.
Jeep is mostly a 'want' buy, not a 'need' buy. I have wanted a Jeep for almost 3 years and I will continue to want a Jeep until the price becomes reasonable
I used to love Jeeps, I’ve owned a couple. Now they’re over engineered junk full of computer systems. Someone give us a simple inexpensive 4x4 to go exploring with
Stelantis need to realize in the EU you can drive almost to any country in half a day to a full day.
In Ontario Canada if you start driving from Toronto west in 2 days you're still in Ontario lol.
EV's just aren't feasible in NA.
If you going off road with an Jeep EV.... you better take a Generator with you!!! 😂😂😂
I'm in Ontario bro, and I swear that I've only seen one Hornet out on the road so far.
we were at a toyota lot yesterday
loaded to the brim
Recently purchased a new midsize truck and would have considered a gladiator except they wanted $50k for a base sport model while I could get a zr2 Colorado loaded for just a little more. Stellantis can rot.
I would love to buy a new RAM 1500. I actually have the money too. But I just ain't gonna pay $90k, and then by the time I register and insure it, I'm at $100k. That's just nuts, totally unreasonable.
Ever since the Hornet has been released I have never seen one on the road or in the city. I think Stellantis is trying to purposely ruin themselves. And going full EV is just plain stupid. I don't want to pay high price for a throw away car that insurance will write off due to a scratch on the bumper.
I would drive a hybrid where the motor charges the battery, but I won't get a electric vehicle that requires a plug in charge.
This is crazy even in Canadian dollars
I custom ordered a ‘24 maverick lariat tremor and it was “only” $41K
Nice
@@markholubetz
It’s a good price for what you get
The owner of the dealer where I work had a chrysler and a gm dealer. He let go the chrysler franchise in 2020 and sold all the inventory to an other chrysler dealer across the street. He only kept the GM dealer. Best decision he ever done. He saw the storm for chrysler coming and he was tired of the way chrysler handle things.
I am curious how this will play out. supply is unaffordable to demand. I have asked this before and am wondering how this will play out.
Dang things cost more than the house I bought a decade ago
Yeah we’ve had 3 rams it’s time to move on which is really annoying because we really enjoy the brand but those prices are insane on other hand that Chevy Trail boss is looking pretty sweet a full sz truck with incentives 🧐
Buy and repair old cars it's the only way forward until we get rid of these woke EV pushers
Right
Hate to tell you
Electric % of new vehicle sales are going up every year
@@lordrayden3045 I just saved an 81 aircooled VW van from the scrapyard, simple to fix and repair, all EVs will be dead in 5-10 years and cause pollution, lithium batteries don't last very long, I fix laptops on the side and the batteries die in 5-10 years...
Stellantis has 700 plus mile EV that use a Deisel engine to charge the battery. That maybe a game changer for the company. The rolling coal idea is for a tiny portion of the population and not important. Hyundai/Kia EV sales are way up this year and its Georgia plant will pass Tesla sales in north America.
Every truck is over priced at minimum $15k and as much as $35k which blows my mind. I;m talking gas. I would never pull the trigger on any EV car or truck, don't want one if it was free. Never will.
Way too expensive for me even the cheaply made Hornet and low end jeep at 48K is way beyond what i want to spend. Im keeping my paid for cars and trucks and i am buying food and household expenses and saving very little. I dont want a vehicle payment anymore ever w/high insurance. No fricken EV's i hate them things absolutely useless.
I recently sold my EV I only owned for 5 months and wrote a check for the depreciation. I will it buy another EV in my lifetime.
I never get the point of trucks worth over 40k even if it offers some nice bells and whistles unless its a super performance truck like the TRX and Raptor. Those jeeps are far from being worth over 40k with mediocre quality
What happens?The customers say bump that!Let me tell you something: there's heavy competition right now in North America especially the US as prices plummet!I still say that if you wait till next year you will get a great vs. this year you will get a good deal.You cannot get a good deal with a new car at all with the exception of Accord Hybrid which is underpriced by a longshot.The used car market prices have plummeted but not the new cars.You can get a used car with low mileage for a great price which is really got me excited.
I did not know they were going out of business. This is crazy they're a huge brand names Jeep, Ram and now we will never see them again SMH
😂they aren’t going out of business… channel hype.
@@Iceman-bu1egIf they did, it would be no great loss.
They won't go out of business. Your hard earned tax money will go towards bailing the very brands out that most can't afford to buy!
if you sell 100 cars at 100 k or 1000 cars at ten k, only have to warranty 100 cars for the same money
back in the day, jeeps were priced for those who were younger and just starting out in the world...now they are priced so that only someone with a guaranteed job with a golden parachute pension could afford...the name "jeep" is not seen as a luxury brand in the public eye..
Am I the only one that thinks Chrysler could possibly follow Oldsmobile and Pontiac out the door?
Zambelli's ought to provide you with a steak meal each time you come to this dealership, Mark. Notwithstanding, Stellantis just seems to care less about the North American market
Same bs! Overpriced n overstocked but no information on dealership closed down!
I'll just wait for cheap Chinese EV cars before I'll pay that much...I'm done
One can only dream of streets free from the threat of large vehicles driven by people with the spirit of Nephilim. 😊

Her services is the best, I got a brand new Lambo last week and paid off my mortgage loan thanks to her wonderful services!
😱Sounds familiar, I have heard her name on several occasions.. and both her success stories in the wall Street journal!
Damn
The vehicles are to expensive
Why can't we have the New Toyota Hilux champ in North America ? No frills, a basic truck. Sure it's not the size of a semi but most of us don't need that.
I bought a new jeep at woodhouse , in neb , 4 door jeep rubicon in 2012 for 37,000 ill never buy sgain at these prices
The Jeep EV's are meant to be Mall Crawlers. Plenty of charging near them. That RAM that is listed for $89k, I am guessing it is Canadian dollars?
Yep, Canadian prices
I have a 2015 Jeep Renegade, Should never have bought it! 4x4 is an AWD System, many problems with Radio and Engine Coilovers. Just horrible, and don't get me started on the Transmission/Engine! I want a Wrangler Rubicon X, but who the hell can afford that at $85,000 CDN?!
Dodge/RAM will be out of business in North America within 5 years, overpriced vehicles and this insane push to all electric. No one want’s electric vehicles at all, if they could put out an affordable, reliable non plugin Hybrid they may be able to save themselves.
The new TFL video shows Stellantis earnings for Q1 and Q2. According to the earnings statement, sales aren't as bad as you think. Yes, most sales are down, but not by much. Also, some sales are way up. Not sure if what you are doing on this channel is a real representation of their actual sales. It doesn't look good what you are showing and I totally get it.
Why cant a electric jeep have a top with integrated solar panels
Nice. Great ideas
The market for EVs in the US is not so hot.
I want to order a new truck from the manufacturer with no transportation cost , I will go pick it up where they assemble the truck .
You won’t be able to get it from the manufacturer unless you are getting a Tesla.
What the hell is a Stellantis?
No one is buying a Hummer EV because here in Alberta Canada they want $150,000 for one I was looking at them when I was picking up my Colorado ZR2
It depends where. We sold all the Hummer EV that we received at our dealer the same week we got them. But I do see some dealer that are stock with some.
Gotta charge a fortune for this metal to compensate Carlos Tavares’ salary. C’mon man … look what good he’s done for the brand and the employees. BS … Keep on pace & the only thing these vehicles will be good for are paper weights. People can’t afford these vehicles. DON’T buy one? I guess if you’ve got the $ you can find 2023 models for as much as 20% off but …. “IF” Stellantis would drop the price 50% would be a game changer.
It appears that CDJR is working on the premise of quantity over quality while trying to increase profit by continually manufacturing low quality vehicles with high, unattainable prices. The rejection of EV's in general is waned and yet, they continue to push this "incentive" because they get financial incentives from the Government to produce a product that has low sales. One can speculate that the CDJR business model is NOT working. The have melded two axioms together: "Let them eat cake" and "The emperor has no clothes".
corporate management is showing its stupidity. Just because you see ford and gm doesnt mean they are so smart.
Overpriced . Who has the money to buy these trucks and jeeps?
Paying for a NaMe that is so imPortAnt to the woRld that they believe it will n0t be allowed to FaiL 0R be ReplaCed.
Best time to Sale the jeep brand to the great wall motor company
LOL, Hyperbole!
Maybe you need to come to America and buy your ram because you can get a better deal
Every video for weeks has been predicting the downfall of the Big 3. When are they gonna fail? I like these videos but I’m not getting anything new and nothing seems to be changing.
👍
It's a sign of sleepy Joe, and the misery that goes with it...
There are no gas stations in the woods either. Didn’t hear you mention the Cyber truck is currently the best selling pickup in America. The most American content too. Only lies from vids like this keep those who have no experience with ev’s buying expensive ice vehicles that are much more expensive not as safe and more likely to catch fire per actual nhtsa data.
Overpriced American made junk
Prices really should adjust for product
@@markholubetz exactly
Stellantis lies. I don't see any Dodge Chargers on the lot, when were they supposed to be released? It seems the moroccan engineers are slipping behind on the Jeep electronics, not just on new models.
Overpriced junk.
They will get bailed out by the government
Then vote out every Congressman and Senator who approves a bailout. This nonsense has to stop.
Only idiots “roll coal”
Lots of that around these parts
@@markholubetz
They are everywhere
If you do heavy hauling for long distances get an ice vehicle. If not get a Tesla, safer, cheaper, quicker and better handling,near zero maintenance cost, less likely to catch fire than ice vehicles, very difficult to roll over, have the worlds top selling vehicles, most American content of all vehicles. Don’t believe unsubstantiated lies on line.
TESLA. . .and the "pandemic" era, etc, continues.
