Surely cable ties could be used to attach a tinny... but 17000 parts? Reduced costs? Does that not advertise parts failure? Great sales pitch. At jeep we sell new cars and discounted parts. Hmmmm, weak.

They have a reputation for expensive parts, they’ve directly addressed it in the ad. Pretty good advertising I’d say.

Sounds desperate that they're advertising that their service department sucks and their parts are ridiculously priced.

I'm keen on a good second hand Chrysler 300 SRT Core but head says WN Caprice because easy and cheap to fix.

Another Jeep thread. This forum is really obsessed.

Luckily they’re improving the build quality.

JD Powers is a PR firm that is paid to promote cars; you'll get nothing objective from them. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKN5Wl4uTyY and https://jalopnik.com/everything-you-...r-a-1818818969 and https://www.brightworkresearch.com/g...nd-associates/ etc As they say at https://www.brightworkresearch.com/g...nd-associates/ "JD Powers is an Automotive Rating Company that Sells It's Ratings to the highest Bidder".

Yet in the other thread you quoted their survey as a source to support your argument.
Whoops.
