Chrysler's New Power Train Limited Warranty

Chrysler has discontinued its Lifetime Powertrain Warranty in exchange for the new 2010 5-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty.

The new warranty is a no hassle solution and will offer the owner superior options that were previously excluded from Lifetime. Benefits of the new warranty include subsequent owner coverage transfer at no cost, towing, and elimination of the 5-year powertrain inspection requirement. Chrysler responded to the voice of customers and modified coverage to be competitive with those automakers perceived to have the best warranties in the business. This change is representative of Chrysler's commitment to quality and the confidence and consideration for customers. Chrysler anticipates the change will promote a greater value to the customer and the benefits realized will increase loyalty to the brands.


5-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty At-a-Glance:

Duration: 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first
Model Year: Begins with 2010 model year vehicles
Coverage: Cost of parts and labor to repair covered component-gasoline engine, transmission and drive systems (FWD, AWD, RWD or 4WD)
Towing: Covers cost of towing to the nearest authorized dealer if due to failure of covered component
Transfers: No transfer required
Vehicles not covered: Sprinter, Ram Chassis Cab


If you want more information about the new 2010 Warranty please call Jim or Joe in the Pollard Motors finance office or visit Chrysler's website at: http://www.chrysler.com/en/

Wrangler One of "2009 10 Best Buys in 4x4 Trucks"



For the fifth year, Four Wheeler magazine recently listed Jeep Wrangler/Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon as one of its 2009 '10 Best Buys in 4x4 Trucks'. Dubbing the 10 vehicles "the factory all-stars of wheeling", the magazine further describes the winners as "the 10 best four-wheel drives you can buy in 2009, period".


Here's what Four Wheeler had to say about Wrangler: "it is considered by many to be the premier four-wheeler in existence". This American icon's storied past includes roles as war hero, civilian work truck and as an instrument of fun and adventure. Amazingly enough, the years have not watered down the Wrangler, and we would in fact, argue that the current JK iteration is the finest example of the breed to be produced to date.


To see the full article refer to Four Wheeler magazine or go visit their web site at: http://www.fourwheeler.com/featuredvehicles/129_0909_2009_top_ten_best_4x4_trucks/index.html


Pollard Motors currently has two new 2009 Wranglers left in stock and a wide variety of 2010 Wranglers to choose from. Come down to check one out for yourself and take at test drive in one of the "Best Buys of 4x4's"!

Primary Focus--- We will work on every customer touch point:

1) Differentiation of our brand and products in our dealerships
2) Representation of brand and product online, including greater engagement in the social media area
3) Creation of a broad Jeep Club to help us interact with our customers on a more personal level

Emphasize Jeep DNA:


1) Styling: 7-Slot Grille, trapezoidal wheel arches, short overhang
2) Functionality: Interior versatility for people & stuff, open air concepts, all around visibility, authentic durable materials
3) Capability: Handling in inclement weather, 4WD leadership, adequate towing capability
4) Trail Rated: Ground clearance, wheel articulation, approach & departure angles, off-Road capability, and low range
* Each Wrangler must have all aspects of Jeep DNA, but other products can be true to the brand without certain elements.

Target Jeep Core Customer-- Adventurers:


1) Doers: Live and play in a world full of adventure and extraordinary journeys, they NEED authentic gear to conquer the task at hand.
2) Dreamers: By far the larges group. Time constrained by family and work, they have little time to actively participate in their dream. They WANT authentic gear with the hope that one day they will be able to do more and dream less.
