Empire Auto Sales

Was driving by as saw a green, nice, 2010 jeep 2d wrangler Sahara. Stopped in to test drive, and possibly buy, but he had it listed for 16,999. Before I even drove it I researched it a bit, and compared it to other similar similar jeeps in the area and, Kelly blue booked the value with all the jeeps info, options, and condition came back as 11,400. I asked the salesman what modifications were done to the vehicle to justify the listed price, he said it has a good stereo system, tires, a rare color or whatever, and it's a 1 owner car. We'll umm, in the blue book price, I had already added the additional options, and it came back as 11,400 on the high end in very good condition, so why is it so expensive? He could not tell me anything so he sent me to the owner and disappeared. I asked the owner the same questions, well tried to, but he became very rude and told me it's because he knows how much his cars are worth and he doesn't care what I or the market thinks. He said it's a nice stock jeep, with nothing done to it so it's a blank slate, and had only 1 owner and that's why it's so expensive, then he just continued being rude didn't even want to discuss the price, and made it clear that his vehicles are just apparently worth more then what the market says because he says so. POV I worked for 5 years doing vehicle valuations for insurance companies, it was litteraly my job to value customers cars and find the correct market value! If he would have negotiated we probably could have come up with a fair number and I would have bought it that day, because I REALY liked it, I had already spent 2 weeks looking at other jeeps that I didn't fall in love with right away. Very sad that instead of negotiating with me, and being professional, like any other dealership that I have bought from, he choose to tell me he did not care and basically to leave.

Had good experience there and would buy again because they give you a 3 month warranty on there cars.
