Used 2020 Jeep Gladiator for Sale in Tampa, FL

Brought my 2000 Z3 in for repairs: ABS warning light on, dashboard night light check, trunk struts replacement, new fob activation, radio volume knob check, and oil change check up. I had had problems with Ferman in the past where my car was brought in for the same air conditioning repair several times, and I had to pay again. So, I told Mr. Wilder that I was concerned about my history with Ferman, and asked how much would the repair cost. He said "in the thousands. Your car is 20 years old." (even though my car is seen regularly and successfully at Reeves in Tampa). He said "he could find 5 things wrong with a new car right now", which made me wonder what I was getting into. I asked him if I could drive to Reeves, and he insisted it was not safe, that they will give me a loaner, I asked about an oil change, and he said my car would be checked ???from head to toe." Did not get an estimate until the third day. The estimate was for $3975.21, and included ABS module box for $2117.14 (although Mr. Wilder told me that may not be the problem), front brakes pad only and replacement (yellow 4) at $355.02, drive belt replacement for $239.65, wiper blades replacement for $94.61, headlight switch for $536.46, shop charges of $52.57, taxes of $260.06, two diagnostic charges at $160 each, but did not address my request for trunk struts, radio volume knob check, oil change, or programming the new fob I had brought in. I was given a separate quote for $125 for the oil change, and $296 for the trunk strut replacement. I decided to take my car to Reeves since I was not comfortable with the quote, and I was asked to pay $343.47 for the estimate. I was not allowed to apply the $343.47 estimate charge to the struts or oil change because according to Mr. Wilder it was not part of the estimate. I asked to speak to a manager, and was told none were available -- all were in training. Incidentally, the multipoint check had not been done: fluids were not topped, tire pressure was not checked. I bought the OEM trunk struts at Advanced Auto Parts for less than $30/pair. The attendant replaced them for free in less than 5 minutes. Two rings need to be snapped off each strut using a flat screw driver, and then the replacement struts snap back on. I also purchased extreme weather premium wipers for $33/pair, which again the attendant snapped on my car for free in less than 3 minutes. However, when he replaced my wipers, he said my old ones were in good condition, and would not have needed changing. Update After writing this review, I was contacted by Ferman's General Manager, Mr. Bob Murray to discuss the situation. I visited the dealership and in the absence of Mr. Murray, spoke with the Assistant Manager, Mr, Karl Alvarez, who listened attentively to my concerns and introduced me to Mr. Brian Pelletier, Service Manager. Mr. Pelletier was very sympathetic, and asked for a chance to make things all right. He assigned my case to Ms. Jamie Annese, Assistant Service Manager and Kyle Silcox of the Gold Team worked on my car. They made all the necessary repairs: abs module, electric switch, drive belt, oil change, and fob activation (the new fob could not be programmed, but the old one seems to have been restored to its old glory) at a reasonable price. Ferman did right by me. Trust is something your can't buy. Thank you for restoring my car and my faith in you.

To anyone interested, I would like to take a minute to tell about my experience with Sun Coast Chrysler Dodge Jeep. When hurricane Irma slammed into the Florida Keys my son’s Dodge pickup was destroyed, a tree fell on it during the storm. We decided it would be best to look for a replacement in the Tampa Bay area. Kris, my son, found several trucks that interested him, one being at Sun Coast Chrysler Dodge Jeep. Since I live in Ruskin I went out to check them all out and report back on what I found. He decided on the 2009 Dodge 1500 at Sun Coast. We were given a 1,000 mile or two-month warranty. As luck would have it the engine failed at day thirty. We couldn’t find anyone in Key West who could fix it under the terms of Fidelity the warranty company. It was decided that we would have the truck hauled to Homestead, Florida to a Dodge dealer for repairs. At that time, we received a rental car with a ten-day limit. After corresponding with the dealer, we found out it would be several weeks before they could start work on it. This was not acceptable since my son is a single parent of a six-year-old who is in the first grade, plus he had just paid the first payment and he need transportation. We contacted Sun Coast and where connected with Wayne Schmidt the general manager. He stated that he would investigate this matter. He soon contacted me and stated that he had found a dealer closer to Miami that could start immediately. I asked for the information, but he told me not to worry about it because he would personally handle the matter plus refund the towing fee of $472.50 and any rental fees over the ten-day limit, which eventually came to $372.26. The truck engine was replaced in short order and my son soon had his truck back and I received reimbursement for all towing and rental fees. I can’t say enough about the service we received from Sun Coast. Yes, we got frustrated at times, but Mr. Schmitt the GM put us at ease and stood behind their policy of customer care. Thank you, Wayne Schmidt jr and Sun Coast Chrysler Dodge Jeep.

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

Kevin and April are awesome to deal with. I originally contacted another Florida Jeep modifier and wasn't taken seriously. This was not the case with Kevin at Bayshore Automotive. He promptly returned calls and texts. The pictures on the website, although very good, just didn't do justice to the actual appearance of the Jeep. Because I live in Florida, I was able to view the Jeep before buying. Luckily I did as it was obvious once seeing in person my wife would not be able to get in it as it was built. We worked out a price with the installation of Amp Research PowerStep running boards. Kevin ordered them and coordinated the installation with 48 hours. I picked it up the next day. The Jeep runs and drives great and man does it ever look bad a**! Many compliments already. Great purchase experience.

I had a wonderful experience with this car dealership, and with mr.Dough Gerhardt in particular. I contacted them by e-mail to enquiry about a ford Mustang convertible, and I received prompt reply. They didn’t have the exact model I was looking for, but mr. Dough worked promptly with me in finding the vehocle and offering me the best price on the market. He answered all of my numerous questions (as a first car buyer you can only imagine that I had quite a few LOL) and very curteously offered me the assistance I needed, without being pushy. I ended up buying another vehicle at a dealership closer to me, especially because they were offering a special on an unlimited warranty, but I just wanted to let everybody know that I wouldn’t hesistate one second to get back with him if I needed another car today. And even when I let him know that I wasn’t buying a vehicle with them, he still very curteously replied wishing me the best of luck. Thank you, thank you, thank you! So yes, I am very pleased of the service
