CHRYSLER TO LEAVE UK BY 2017

[MRPULLHARD]

Seems dealers have been given 2 years notice, wont be good for resale values of late model 300c and voyagers . Remember when Bauer Millett took on the brand they were talking of even opening an SRT centre , sad to hear but not unexpected.

How are Jeep doing in the uk ? Here in Ireland they sell very few vehicles ( our distributor is run by uk arm) , business users can claim back vat on the discovery here ( its to do with size of load area) so the Cherokee cant really compete with it.

Looking at their sales figures for last year it's hardly surprising.

In the US Ram has been split off as its own model line, Jeep is doing the same thing.

It seems there are plenty Jeeps about in Scotland (including mine).

They were probably unaware of that and will now rescind their decision to withdraw from the UK market.

It's not really a surprise is it? They haven't exactly invested hard in the brand in the US to be fair, either. Only models left are 200, 300C and the minivan.

Jeep should continue here, and they do have what looks like some new models to keep the market interested.
