Exclamation Stranded in Jacksonville, FL

My dad piled his Powerstroke into the back of a Penske truck on I-95 when his 5-ver brakes failed to help him (that's a story for another time). Now he's got a totaled Ford and he's supposed to be at work in PA tomorrow.

His trailer is fine, except for a good ding where it hit the rear bumper of the truck when the hitch broke loose.

What I'm asking for is some local information on the best truck deal in Jacksonville. I think I have him wanting a Dodge this time, but if the right deal came along, he buy either of the other two.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Keith

Thanks for the dealer info koonster, and thanks for the concern mikmaze. Nobody got hurt, even though neither airbag deployed. Still don't understand that.

I searched the web all day Saturday and Sunday trying to find him a decent used truck in that area, but there's not many for sale at the moment. That, or the dealers don't update their used inventory list very often.

Thanks 90dodge. I'll let him know. Not exactly what he's looking for, but it'd get him home quickly and he could easily get that money out of it back in PA.

Thanks again.
Keith

Call here & ask for Derek Karpel,

if he's in Jax, Derek can ride down & pick him up

they had a 06 Black Sport 4x4 in stock.....very nice...

they can really make a good deal sometimes, but you have make sure it's in YOUR favor and not theirs.

There is a MEGA Dodge dealer in Jacksonville! It is enourmous, it has its own parking garage for the cars, and a huge show room. I think its called Jacksonville Dodge and whatever else they sell. Its brand new... my Mom purchased a Jeep Liberty there. Gave one heck of a deal... Good luck...
