Security Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

I write this review to help prevent the incredible disservice a person will likely receive if they do business with Security Jeep/Dodge. It's also important to know that I am a past customer of Security Jeep having purchased a new 2012 Jeep Liberty. This time around, I am in the market for a 2017 Wrangler Unlimited. I am trading in a 2012 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible 4LT Centennial edition. I did my homework on both the value of my trade according to Kelly Blue Book (avg. trade in 42k) and the price the Wrangler is selling for. In obtaining the value of my trade, I was accurate about the condition of the car which included needing four new tires. A set of tires is about $1500. To my surprise, Security Jeep only offered me $30,500. When I questioned the value and asked if they accounted for all of the options, they said they missed that it was a 4LT. As a result, they gave it a new value of $34,000. An hour later, working with a sales manager, they dropped the value to $32,000. I have since learned that many auto dealers pay for a service from Galves which is known to place valuations on vehicles significantly lower than companies like KBB and NADA. I decided to shop elsewhere as their offer was quite far off from the KBB valuation. I went to another dealer who offered $38K on my trade but did not have the Wrangler I was looking for. I decided to go back to the Kelly Blue Book website where I saw an option for an instant cash offer. I entered all of my car information and was presented with a $39,018 offer. Ironically, Security Jeep was listed as one of the three places where I could receive that amount. I took the offer to Security and asked for a sales manager. It was there I was introduced to Sunny Kaliandasani. Warning: if you find yourself working with Sunny, run! I explained the entire situation to Sunny and showed him the offer. Sunny along with the other sales managers were immediately defensive. One manager suggested that if they had to honor the 39K offer, then they would charge me above sticker price for the Jeep. The entire time Sunny even stated that he would be doing me a huge favor by selling me this jeep and taking my trade. He required that I pay him full sticker price for the Jeep. At this point, I was worn down and couldn't negotiate any further, so I agreed. The next day, I spoke to Sunny to arrange to sign the paperwork. I tried several times to reach him and had to keep leaving messages. I finally got in contact with him at 4PM only to hear him change the entire story. He stated that for them to honor my trade in price, he needed me to drive to his shop, complete paperwork, then pickup one of his salespeople and drive us both to Mannheim Auctions in Lancaster, PA which is a 3hr 30 minute drive. Sunny stated that this was their requirement to accept this trade even know Kelly Blue Book does not stipulate that. It became clear to me that Security Jeep had no interest in selling me the Jeep. Keep in mind that with Security Jeep's original trade offers they hoped to make over $10,000 by devaluing the trade. That represents 25% of the total deal value and does not include what the dealership makes on selling the jeep. Clearly, Security Jeep is more interested in extracting unjustified profits than building a happy customer base. Last night I picked up the exact Jeep that I was looking for at another dealership. Unfortunately, I had to go to a dealer that was 25 miles away, but they gave me the full value of my trade and also discounted the sticker price off the car. The end result is me being a happy Jeep customer but one that will never enter Security Jeep again. Buyer beware of Security Jeep and Sunny.
