Does Anybody Here Have Any Experience, Good or Bad With JeepWarehouse

Does anybody here have any experience with JeepWarehouse
(www.jeepwarehouse.com)? This is a Muncie, IN Jeep dealer
that offers prices almost 25% below MSRP. As the old saying
goes, "if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is" so
I am approaching this one with great caution. The one thing
that makes me think otherwise so far is the fact that Jeep
lists them as one of their 5 Star dealerships. Any real life
experiences with this dealership would be welcomed.

Thanks,

Phil Rogers

The company I work for has an account with the local dealership for chevrolet.
They also own a jeep dealership.  Because of this, I automatically get a 20%
discount on all parts.  It's not unheard of, being that their markup is so
frickin high already......

Have you ever seen a dealership that wasn't "5 star"? I looked up all the
Jeep dealerships in my area from Jeep's website and they were all listed as
"5 star". Are you looking to purchase a vehicle or parts? If your looking to
purchase a vehicle, they maybe willing to drop their price to nothing from
get-go, but I seriously doubt they're selling for any less than anyone else.
They all pay the same. You could use their price to throw it in the face of
the dealership you like shopping at and maybe doing a little better, or at
least getting a match. Hell, you might be able to do that with parts, even.
Like I said, they all pay the same.

We purchased two "twin" Jeeps from a dealership in Dallas (MidPark) that
moved and renamed (was Mouton) so apparrently they had to go through the
process again.  Since they were under warranty we had maintenance done
there.  Afterwards I would get a friendly call askiing how everything went
and rating of different things,  After about a half-dozen "five-star"
ratings I said something was not exactly "five-star."  I never heard from
them again.

Actually I have seen a number of non-5-star dealerships. I live in the
Atlanta area and recently fed my zip code (30033) to the Jeep
Find-A-Dealer form. It came back with 3 pages of dealers of which
about 90% were 5-star. The nearest dealer (Paul Light) in a rather
upscale area of town was surprisingly not among those that were
5-star rated.

Vehicle - for a Laredo 4x4 with 4.7 L engine, F package and a few
miscellaneous extras they list prices of:

MSRP: $32,935.00
Their Price: $26,587.74

That works out to a 19% savings (sorry... my 25% estimate was high).

Exactly what I have in mind even if I do not end up buying from
JeepWarehouse. Just researching the possibilities right now and trying
to find out who is honest and who is not. I've just been through a
nightmarish experience with the con artists at my local GM dealer
(had to pay 1/3 of the blue book value of my 94 Trans AM to get some
simple problems fixed and they still did not fix the original problem)
and I am currently rather suspicious of ALL auto dealers as a result.
The next reply really hit the nail on the head when he said about 5 star
that:

I bought my 2000 Wrangler from them six years ago. I didn't have any
problems. They were good at keeping me informed of the status of my
order. The only drawback is if you are not close to Muncie IN.
