I Looked at a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Sport.
Underneath was caked with mud, so not a great sign to begin with as it was obvious it had seen some heavy offroad use, and the dealer couldn't even be bothered to clean up the evidence of that.
Tires were more than 50% worn.
The gas tank was empty when I took the test drive, and it had been on the lot since October.
The mileage posted on the add was about 4k less than it actually has.
The clutch was spongy and stuck to the floor mat during the test drive, they said that was normal for wranglers. I find it hard to believe. I've owned 2 manual Jeeps myself, and I have driven 2 other 2021 Wranglers (Friend and Family) with the 6 speed manual and they most certainly DO NOT function this poorly. I've driven standards for 20 years, I know a xxxxty clutch when I drive one.
Note. There is a recall on the clutches on this model year, I'm going to take a wild guess that it was never done, and even more disappointing, I was told they wouldn't warranty the clutch if I bought it with my noted concerns... what a joke.
The sales person was very nice, but way too much time waiting for them to go back and forth across the hall to the finance manager and asking me questions about what I want for a trade in value on my car instead of just giving me an offer. So the typical sales experience of them trying to give you as little as possible on trade in and hoping you'll be dumb enough to give them a number just in case they may have actually offered you more.
Then after I politely told the sales person that my gut was telling me to stay away from this Jeep, and that I was no longer interested, they continued to call me and text me trying to pressure me to come back for another test drive. I blocked their number so they started calling me from a different number leaving voicemails again.
Take NO for an answer.
Not to mention the number of poor reviews on this dealership, and multiple friends of mine that have had nothing but issues with their service department.
Stay far away from Summit, the vibe there is crooked AF.
PS - I bought a brand new 2025 Mazda, got a better trade in value, better interest rate, and I was able to work directly with the Finance Manager and hammer out the details in about 25 minutes.....
At Summit I spent 2 hours getting circle jerked around before they finally had some numbers in front of me.
