From working at Paul Sherry Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, I am constantly get asked from friends and family near Dayton about what advice I might have about purchasing a new car. This is the advice I give for them when they are browsing car dealers near Dayton.

Being in the market for a new car can be exciting for anyone, especially when you first make the decision. From a car dealer’s perspective, you’ve crossed what we call the Zero Moment of Truth. This is where dealers make the most money from car buyers. Why? Because most likely the shopper didn’t shop around, and you are probably in the “heat of the moment.” Consumers do this because it’s what they feel comfortable doing, and it’s normal for any shopper naturally lean toward what’s comfortable. This allows for the largest profit margins for a any new car dealer. Avoid buying the first car you see!

What most consumers don’t [...]

I recently decided to take a 2013 Chrysler 200 for a spin in Dayton. Right off the bat, I noticed how sleek the interior looked. With a soft black leather interior, this vehicle impressed me right when I sat in the driver seat. The center of the control panel featured the classic silver Chrysler analog clock. After adjusting the power seat controls, I took this 2013 Chrysler 200 out on the road. The interior featured a traditional dashboard, a leather wrapped shifter, and seat warmers. When adjusting the interior features, it was noticeable how smooth everything is – from opening the door handle to the gear shifter to the air conditioning knobs.

The Chrysler 200 had quick and responsive braking, which was comforting when driving through the Dayton I-75 construction zones. The vehicle drove smoothly and handled beautifully when hugging the road curves. Not only did I feel safe from how well the 2013 Chrysler [...]

Jeep lovers will be surprised and delighted when the 2014 Jeep Cherokee will be debuted at the New York Auto Show this week. After a decade-long absence, the all-new Jeep Cherokee will have a complete design refresh that closely resembles the Jeep Liberty, according to jeepinthenews.com.

One of the features to be on the lookout for is the grill on the all-new 2014 Cherokee. The seven-slot grill will be more blended to the curvy hood and the design is smaller and thinner. The front headlights are split into two, also. With this new design, the front bumper is almost flush with the front of the vehicle. While there are many similarities, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee will not be as “boxy” as the Jeep Liberty.

There are not any public interior or rear photos of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee at this time. [...]

Although there have not been many details released, it is rumors that the 2014 Dodge Durango will feature an eight-speed transmission in addition to the EcoDiesel engine.

The Durango is also rumored to feature similar looks and design styles as the Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is anticipated that 2014 Dodge Durango will showcase an 8.4-inch LCD touchscreen Uconnect media hub system, as seen in the 2013 Dodge Dart.
