Jeff Not really bad just mostly oil changes.
Jeff Thanks again Corey for this Eldorado series.
Scott I seriously doubt that they will be in business within three years. They are phasing out popular models and not replacing them. Durango is going to disappear next. They say that the elevators don’t stop on many mid level floors at the Stelantis HQ. They have let many designers and engineers go. Pretty soon the customers will get a clue that they shouldn’t bother stopping at a Stelantis dealership!
Lou_BC Ford should hire someone who knows how to design an esthetic pickup front end. Ram's about the only one with a decent snout.
Lou_BC I usually replace my vehicles once operating costs start to climb. Tires, brakes, oil/filter changes are expected.
