the ac thing is true there expensive and they require special parts to recharge. A buddy of mine has a 2017 dodge journey and to charge the ac they wanted $400.

Craig, you made a decision and it didn’t quite work out how you thought. It’s great that it happened to you though because NOW YOU KNOW and the experience is worth way more.

[@petethecarman6726]

Craig, I'm curious as to why you were charged for the repairs by the dealer as this should have been covered under the new car warranty. Love your channel, btw.

[@jim5k]

Warranty doesn't cover collision damage. The A/C was most of the bill, it had to be recharged because the front end was rebuilt.

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

The new refrigerant R1234YF runs around $750 for a 10 LB cylinder, where the 134a is maybe $300 for a 30lb cylinder. Yes, it is expensive for a recharge for the new stuff.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

I hate messing with the Dealer shops, they charge way to much and there not always honest. $360 for an AC charge? Come on dude. Glad you sold the Jeep finally.

[@liamegan4303]

Omg. What a problem. That's mad Craig. I'm glad it worked out for you. God loves a trier. Always keep trying Craig. 💯 Beautiful Jeep 🚙 😍

Dealers and some franchise mechanic auto shops are crooks. Meineke once charged me $200 just to take my tire off and put new lug nuts on it. It didn't even take them 30 minutes to get the tire off.

[@anthonythevettedude8270]

[@aaronkudatsky8940]

Have you tried sourcing a module from a wrecker/dismantler ?

[@aaronkudatsky8940]

Having worked at a dealer, I know a franchise /Jeep dealer would never be allowed to sell a brand new car with a used module, but a used car dealer like yourself would be able to put in a used one then sell it.

[@jasonbourne314]

Agreeded, also you have a nice neetwork here on the tubes, one of us probably could have sourced the part. You should do some videos on these problems right when the happen, so we can help. It would be a nice experiment.

My father served in the Air Force at Eielson AFB in Alaska with Bob Ross and bought a lot of his paintings that were done on canvas and gold pans as he really did the Alaska scenery well and I believe my Sister has them now. I remember watching him paint on PBS as a kid with his happy trees.

[@mikerobbins5049]

That was a mess but it all worked out in the end. I had a Pre Owned Vehicle dealer friend that said if he priced a car to cheap people wouldnt buy it because they thought something was wrong with it....

[@EliteAmmunition]

It is such BS that auto makers ON purpose link all the modules together. They make it so all the lights come on to scare the owners into making them take it to the dealer and of course only the dealer can reset or clear codes.

[@Tech-ez1qj]

The new cars use R1234yf. It's so expensive it's billed by the ounce. About $10 an ounce. The machine for R1234yf cost about $10,000. It's a complete disaster but R1234yf was forced on us by the government. To all those people crying it should be $190 for a recharge do not know what they are talking about. Average R1234yf recharge is around $450 depending on freon capacity.

[@thagerdorn2009]

The real problem is that a wrangler cost 42k new... and it's not even built in toledo ohio where real wranglers were built with the indestructible 4.0 before they went to the ugly 4 doors with the junk 3.8/3.6 engines. Im constantly working on my brother in laws wrangler. They are garbage, they ride like shit and are made cheaper than a nissan versa

[@woodrowbunopaddle]

Craig , No disrespect meant ,but if you are buying the any vehicle it's always under market which brings shotty repairs ,etc.. No disrespect ,just the way you work... When you say MMR says these have been selling for 12K.... I want to be around 9,500....

[@pamotorsports763]

If possible, as another dealer just outside Philadelphia. Was wondering if I could get in touch w you about any suggestions on how to save my place. Everything is so overpriced. It makes so hard to sell. Would love any advice if could have your ear for 5 mins.

[@ronaldcarnevale3424]

Hmmmm. Regarding the 21 Jeep Knowing you sell cars off your lot so fast, I have to wonder. According to you weeks have gone by.....yet the two cars ( next to the black Jeep) are still in the same spot for I don't know how long. I like your videos but really have to wonder now

[@lhoanii]

Wow Craig. What a crap show! Damn red tape. If you had sold it to someone in Kentucky, it would've been a breeze. We don't have inspections. If it's coming from out of state, we have to get it "inspected". That inspection is comprised of verifying mileage and making sure the windshield isn't cracked. That's it!!! I had my 1970 Super Bee with no engine, no fenders, and the 4-speed trans in the trunk inspected with no hiccups. Glad ya finally was able to move forward with the sale. Looking forward to your next video.

[@woodrowbunopaddle]

Craig.. you either can continue to low ball problems vehicles ,and make revenue from YT ,Or just buy more quality units... But quit acting like you are surprised about all of these problems..In the time you spent on this Jeep you could have sold 5 vehicles ,and made 5 happy customers... If i was a retail buying customer I would be scared $hitless to buy a car from you... Not because you aren't a great guy ,but you buy some absolute pieces of trash ,and polish them up (with just a dirty wool mit) mind you...

[@jaytpaul]

those fenders were clearly painted aftermarket when the original owner had that grill painted, no doubt. The fact that someone wouldnt go for the factory painted fenders, but WOULD pay for the paint on the fenders aftermarket (and that grill) would have made me suspicious that it was a coverup. Not to mention, a brand new jeep being up for auction (versus selling at a dealership on the lot), would make me even more suspicious. A mainstream, notoriously high-reselling new vehicle has no reason to go to auction without needing to benefit from covering up an unknown variable like this... someone didnt wanna deal with it!

[@montanamountainmen6104]

Glad I live in a state that doesn't have to have inspections on vehicles.....80% probably wouldn't pass, but thats a plus for us , get in and go.

[@muskokamike127]

So what the moral of this story is you got to experience what us regular car buyers go through every time we deal with a new vehicle and the stealer oops I mean dealer. This is one reason I will NEVER buy a vehicle from a Jeep Chrysler dealership NEVER NEVER NEVER. Stepping into a Chrysler dealership is like walking into a whorehouse where every one of them has HIV Herpes and chlamydia.....and choosing one and going raw dog......

$391 for 1234yf recharge isn’t actually a bad price from a dealer, around here dealers are charging ~$600

[@aaronhall6354]

If the problem is a module that is for a different model, why isn’t this a factory warranty jeep problem? It shouldn’t have left the factory like that, right? Jeep won’t make this right? I get it its a jeep that has been in an accident, still under mileage for any reasonable warranty and it was shipped from the factory with the wrong parts

Ehh it depends. After doing tons of research a few month back when I was shopping for a new vehicle a few months back, it seems that ford has fixed many of its problems from a decade ago. Of course there’s still problems here and there, but you have a good chance of getting a good vehicle. Although, I would stay away from the explorers. I ended up with the 2021 ranger xlt.

Hard to believe right! If you've ever driven in the fall or winter in the nothern states you'd be amazed.

I'd rather have that army jeep at 8:50 than any jeep currently on the market including that monster hemi that omaze is giving away. Other than a volkswagon "thing" it doesn't get any better than that.

[@sejembalm]

It doesn't get any cruder than than, either. But that's part of the charm: an ultra-stripped-down no-frills military utility car. I had a 1973 VW Thing and it was ...just fun. Windows were clip-on frames with plexiglass, not roll-down. Front windshield folded down over hood (handy when someone stole my windshield wiper motor, wipers and gasoline-powered heater). Plus, it was a fun convertible for $500, back in 1988 or so. A friend picked up four Vietnam War-era Jeeps unassembled in crates at a closed-down army base in the late 1980s (for $50 each?!?), and assembled one to ride, one to sell and two for spare parts. His daily driver Jeep had to be modified a bit for civilian use I believe, but it was nice, although a scary ride where it felt like it would roll on the slightest provocation.

[@muskokamike127]

@@sejembalm damn right! A buddy had a "thing" and it was literally a death trap and the most fun ride you can have with your clothes on. You climb in and can't help but grin like a fool. 4 of us would pile in on a saturday night and go cruise the strip. That's the charm of the jeep too. Not to mention that it can go just about anywhere and never get stuck. Light with skinny tires? Freeze your ass in the winter but you'd never get stuck. That was a deal and a half on those crated jeeps. You're not the first I've heard of getting deals like that. In the 60's it was quite common for surplus sales to go on and listings in the paper(s). There were more than a few army surplus stores around my area in Toronto and that was back when they literally WERE surplus stores. Had all kind of stuff. Last time I was in though they'd turned into another "outfitter" store. I seem to recall when I was 12 they had cases of M1 Garands. Worth a fortune now but back then, no one really wanted them.
