Used Jeep Renegade for Sale in Fox Lake, IL

For those that don't want to read the full story here is the short: Hayden Butler was my salesperson and was amazing, he listened to what I wanted for a car, and when that was looking more and more unlikely, made an amazing suggestion for a comparable one that I love! have recommended it to my co-workers and shared with everyone I know, completely worth the drive for a car. here's the full review: Initially I was not looking for a car at all, I was looking for information about where I stood with my car (as far as value vs what I owe, what options were present to me and such). I went to a local dealer (name omitted because this isn't about downplaying them) and had what I will simply put as the worst car experience I have ever had. sales people never once asked me what I wanted and just threw $12000 used cars at me trying to sell them. Needless to say I was frustrated and ready to just be done. I got a phone call a few days later from Ray's CDJR, the lady was super nice and I told her up front that I was not interested in selling the car right now, but she suggested coming down for a visit and seeing what they could do. I figured "why not". I drove the 55 miles down to Ray's and was introduced to Hayden. Hayden instantly took me to his office and began to ask questions to me and my GF, getting to know the backstory behind me and where I was. My initial desires were in the Dodge Durango GT (we had rented one and loved it, looked to buy/lease). ultimately we came to the conclusion that it was not feasible at this time to get one, so I had inquired about the Journey (given its a smaller in the dodge family). Hayden found one for us with the features we liked and the colour that i liked. we test drove it and liked it, despite missing a few features (backup cam and such). we ran the numbers and they gave me a great value for my car and worked it so the payments would be right in my budget. I had some concerns about the journey and it being a 4cy 4speed engine and that i couldn't shake that fear, Hayden looked around for more that were in the 6cy variety but we couldn't find one. after what seemed like another trip heading home with my old car, Hayden suggested the Jeep Grand Cherokee and that they could work to get one in my budget range. we were driven to a separate lot where he showed me the model (in the colour i liked, with all the features i wanted). i fell in love with the car almost instantly, and Hayden and told me the facts about the car and how it was very similar to the Dodge i was asking for. upon asking why he hadn't suggested it earlier, he stated "well you weren't looking at the Jeep, you were pretty set on the Dodge". that statement was amazing to hear, as it showed clearly he was finding stuff to fit my needs and wants first, and suggesting what would fit my desires after. we worked on the financing and i left that night with a car that i loved, in the price i could afford on a lease that i could follow. This was the best car experience i have ever had and i would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone looking to get a new car. Hayden was amazing (and i have to give xxxxx to the intern assisting as well) and he is the first person i would tell you to ask for if you go.

Has not been a bad 2nd car. Fun to drive with the 6 sp. Manual. Small basic, but effective for my wife's commuter use. 4x4 great, and Gas mileage very acceptable, at about 32 mpg average. Recall is needed on Oil change reset. Has never worked. Dealer asked me to pay them to reset it. Been changing my own oil for 50 years. Refuse to pay them.

Mark Sanders provided us with prompt and detailed answers to all our specific questions, He listened to us on our requirements and showed us many vehicles which met them! All personnel (Sales and service) answered many concerns we had promptly and with detailed answers. Our first vehicle purchase at this dealership was in 2007 and we maintained all our service with them. The staff in service are professionals in their profession and experts in their mechanical knowledge! We look forward to their service in the future with this new vehicle.

Car is phenomenal! Best car I’ve ever owned! It’s beautiful and drives well! Thank you to everyone at Chapman! We love everything about this vehicle

I visited Gurnee Dodge on Thursday of last week and Sarah Dawson was the greatest she should receive some type of bonus because while I was there I overheard other customers saying how awesome she was.She is so patient and helpful. Kudos to Sarah Dawson.

Wasn't a fan of it. I didn't like the way it drove. The seats are comfortable but it felt like it bounced or rocked when driving it.

NO COMPLAINTS EXCEPT THERE IS ONE BLIND SPOT. I HAD A JEEP LIBERTY BEFORE. IT HAD THE SAME BLIND SPOT SO I AM USED TO IT.

As I said before, I’ve only had the car for one day. I drove around for a while just to get the feel of it and it was nice.

I purchased it new, and have owned it for 2 years. In an era where all cars look the same, it separates itself from the pack! I love its unique styling, and while it’s a 4 cylinder, it’s quite nimble and handles well. From the outside, it looks quite small, but there’s more than ample room inside, with plenty of leg room. The built in Bluetooth allows me to never hold a phone, listen to music on my iPhone, and the Sirius XM makes sure I don’t have to listen to terrestrial radio! Alleged Jeep purists say it’s the fiat Jeep, so it’s the anti Jeep and I love it!!! And yes, I traded my wrangler in for the renegade, and I’m glad I did!

This vehicle is not worth the money. Engine replaced after 2 years, AC doesn’t work after winter (3 years in a row), 4x4 issues, very limited tires available for this vehicle, engine light comes on every other day.

This car drives like a much bigger and heavier vehicle especially on the highway. Has been very reliable and so far fully exceeded my expectations.

So far I love this car/truck/suz. I small and perfect, so comfortable to drive, a perfect fit for me. I can't wait to take a road trip...

Love my renegade, meets all my needs , gets me to the trails to hike and mountain bike , good enough on gas ⛽️, 25.9 ave mpg, comfortable to drive , I like the seating position. I have a commando sport 4x4 I prefer the knobs over digital buttons, only upgrade will be a large screen radio with Bluetooth ( have unconnect 3 base radio ) and install a oem bumper trailer hitch . I also had a limited loaded edition which a nice, but I actually prefer the slightly ulterian sport model.

The cruise control doesn’t work all the time. If you go on long trips, it’ll work 85% of the time. The timer on the windshield wiper doesn’t work. There are four settings: 2 work all the time, 1 never works and 1 works some times. It’s absolutely ridiculous. I would not suggest buying at all.

I have recently had a problem with a backfire like noise from my Buick LaCrosse. The local Buick dealer had my car for nine (9) days and had no clue as to how to fix the problem. Being a GM product I thought I would try Martin Chevy. Ralph Stalesky, Assistant Service Manager, was very willing to try to help me. This problem had gone on for several months. Ralph and the service tech determined that I needed a new exhaust system. Ralph worked with GM to warranty the exhaust saving me several hundred dollars. The car was washed and ready to go. No more backfires. It was an excellent experience and I will be sure to let all my friends know about how Ralph and Martin Chevy treated me.

I am a returning Jeep owner, having owned a wrangler, some Libertys and a Patriot. Renegade is a new product for me, and I was somewhat reticent to try it, but it is a wonderful experience. The vehicle is roomy, drives like a top and is filled with features I love. The safety features alone have saved me insurance money. I love the 9-speed automatic transmission (a huge improvement over the CVTs I’ve owned). Gas mileage is great (I’m getting 25-30). This thing climbs hills like a mountain goat. And the sunroof is easy to operate, and roof panels can even be taken off completely. The dashboard is easy to manage, and very visible, the driver’s seat is adjustable in ways that really help, and the visibility in the vehicle is superb. Bluetooth connections are great, and the backup camera is clear and very helpful. Engineers and builders are to be commened. I look forward to wearing this thing out.

Plan on buying a car from Kim Kehl , he's a super nice sales person and patient...save yourself time and trouble - ask for Kim Kehl. We love our car & Kim too!

Great four cylinder for around town. Also 4x4 helps you rest assured on those muddy back roads. I decided on this car for my child’s first car..(lucky guy).

Daniel was superb! Showed awesome customer service and was kind and prompt.

Everything I need for day to day as well as my triathlon adventures! Plenty of space, sporty and comfortable. Heated seats and remote start a bonus with my Raynaud's!

Mark Astrouski was Very Friendly, helpful and patient for me and my husband. Very Professional !!!! Great service!!!!!!

2016 Trailhawk, bought new. The test drive was great. The brakes are tight, and stop you when you want to stop. It handles so well, you can steer it with two fingers. During snow storms, I make my own lane. This thing has yet to get stuck. I recently started Ubering, and its very comfortable for hours of driving. It doesn't speed up as fast from stop, but once it gets going, it buzzes all over the place (I named mine Buzby). Once in awhile I notice the transmission over or under shifts, mostly on steep roads. Overall this Jeep is VERY fun to drive. Had a few software glitches, nothing an update couldn't fix. So far, the only parts replaced have been the radiator fan (defective sensor) and the ignition coil (warranty), as well as a headlight and license plate bulb. Average MPG is 19, but I do a lot of city driving. The interior is roomy, with a good amount of plug holes (one usb and 12v socket on the console, a usb inside the center console, a 12v outlet in the back of the center console, and a 12v socket in the rear bay). I have the moon roof option with electric sunroof. It was difficult to find a place to put my phone mount. A lot of the interior is textured, so suction mounts may be an issue. I've taken it on long vacations, and never worry it's going to break down. It's a really solid quality vehicle. Almost 35,000 miles, and I've loved every minute of it.

I recently brought a used car from Eric Foret. He was a excellent sales person and understood both my wife's and my requirements in purchasing the car. He was very polite and did not pressure us in buying the car at he first visit. He understood that I needed to take it to my mechanic before we could discuss a price. Even after the trip to the mechanic, he did not pressure me in buying the car, since my wife was at work. I told him that my wife and I would return later in the evening to discuss the price. We brought the car that evening. I would recommend Eric as the person to see if you are interesting in buying a car. Great Experience.

I like this little Jeep. Its built tough so Im not worrying about scuffing the plastic. I own the TrailHawk model and it crawls around ok in the desert. The only con: This car cant get out of its own way. It has 9 gears and it always picks the wrong one! You just have to punch it. Its got plenty of torque at the top end.

My salesperson was Walter on Dec. 28, 2017. I knew I wanted to buy a new Buick LaCrosse, but my 2011 trade-in was parked in our driveway needing engine work, and filled with paperwork, soft drinks in cans and bottles, shoes, clothing and family treasures - as I had spent significant time cleaning out my late brother's condominium. He had passed away suddenly and quite recently, and I was still feeling grief and stress. I thought I'd have to keep driving my rental car until I had time to clean out the car, or at least until the frigid weather had passed. But as Walter attentively listened to my predicament, he said he would gladly help me clean out the car, allowing me to drive it to the dealership and offer it as a trade-in. He was true to his word : He arrived the next morning, when the temperature was in the single digits, and happily worked and worked, while my gloved fingers and toes were getting numb, and I'm certain his were, too. I soon brought out coffee for us, and Walter began to jump the car's battery. He tried again and again, very patiently, to persuade the engine to turn over. After about half an hour of trying, he succeeded in starting the engine. Thus, I was able to drive the car to the dealership, with Walter following in his vehicle, to ensure that I made it safely. Once at Napleton’s Schaumburg Buick GMC, he proceeded to gather paperwork together to complete the sale of a new Buick LaCrosse! HOW does one thank someone who goes this far to help??!

I was currently in the market for a new car. i had a 2009 KIA optima that was giving me trouble. I was debating on a SUV or a cross over and let me tell you this jeep renegade is the best cross over to find. I have 4 year old which means i have a big car seat but it fits in the car just fine. My son is tall and he has more then enough leg rove. The car is not to high or low its just right so you dont have to work about jumping up in the car. It can easily fit someone in the car that 6'6 With enough leg room. I'm 5'4 and its a perfect size for me. I didn't want nothing to big so this car was a perfect option. It feels like a big SUV but its not. I rented a jeep Cherokee for a day and it felt like it was the same size of my car from the inside. Im really happy i picked this car. My first jeep and i love it. Its such a mommy car

Randy Rogers is the one that sold us our Lease Jeep 2018 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4.and what ever the management person that helped us with the paper work are wonderful people. All of the Sales people at Palmen's are wonderful.{The Finance Manager]

I think the interior could be better designed but overall, the way the driver seat and steering wheel can be adjusted is VERY THOUGHTFUL. I just prefer the old school bench seating across the front and the drink holders in front of you and the gear shift on the steering wheel. That middle business takes a lot of spreading legroom away.

I think this is a good Jeep if you are looking to just own one that is supposedly more affordable. However wasn’t a fan of how the transmission shifting felt and just felt like something was off. It was a good car though overall.

My quest for a fun car with a stick shift started and ended here. Damian was the first person to introduce himself outside and coached me through 1st, 2nd and 3 gear in a Cruze. The experience felt less like driver's ed and more like an older sibling showing me the ropes. I returned next day dreaming driving home in a Subaru WRX. Long story short, Manager Ed Finn got me out of a hatchback with a CVT and in to the same manual transmission I test drove. If it weren't for Michael, another sales team associate, I would've returned home never knowing how fun and engaging a stick shift feels like. Walking into Castle Chevrolet (with a budget) results in guaranteed peace of mind. Thanks to the manual transmission, my face always has a smile on the road. My purchase feels like a Ford Model T when traffic lights start green, but it has a turbo like the WRX. The sales staff knew exactly how to sell the Cruze to me. I'm glad that Castle Chevy sold their Mustang before my visit. Rear wheel drive doesn't belong in or near the "snow belt" especially in the hands of an intermediate "stick" driver.

small car but when you drive it feels like a big car ,front windshield is big mirrors big and some good electronics windows open and no wind to mess up your hair
