Selling Cars

"Hello. my name is Ed Dancel. I've been selling cars for Southfield Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram since 1997. Yup, that long. I really love this dealership and what I do here. In fact I still find it very excting when I see my customers drive off in their brand new cars with big smiles on their faces. It's amazing how many relationships I've made over the years just selling cars. My customers know and trust me and they come back to me again and again. My job is to make sure that they get the best possible service, the best possible deal and to make sure that their buying experience is fun, easy, painless, quick and convenient."

Find Hidden 2012 Dodge Journey and It's Yours Contest - USA Today

The Dodge Journey was made to be a search engine to help you explore the world wide world. To get people to explore the world wide world, Dodge left three Journeys somewhere out there for you to find. You find one, you can have one.

An ad push for the 2012 Dodge Journey features clues to three Journeys hidden around the U.S.: Find one first and it's yours.

Starting today, clues can be found in new commercials on TV and online at www.youtube.com/Dodge, including the video below.



The effort touts the Journey as a "Search Engine for the Real World" -- a perfect ride for adventures. It also highlights the new trim that cuts Journey's base price by $3,250 to $19,745 with shipping (details in a post here).

"The Dodge Journey is the 'Swiss Army knife' of vehicles," Reid Bigland, Dodge brand CEO said in a statement. "America's most versatile crossover is also now the most affordable in its class."

The otherwise cleverly designed crossover got off to a slow start in 2008, thanks to a Cerberus/Chrysler cheap interior and coarse powertrain, But it got one of Fiat/Chrysler's classy interior makeovers for 2011, along with a 283-hp. version of the sweet Pentastar V6. The redone 2011 finished 2nd out of of 9 in the USA TODAY/Cars.com Shootout for affordable crossovers last winter.

A Fiat-badged version is beating sales expectations in Europe, and the new marketing and aggressive pricing indicates Chrysler has higher hopes here. With the 2011 model closing out, Dodge has sold 36,304 this year, up 6%, compared with a 10.5% industry sales rise, tallies the Detroit Free Press.

The first TV ad shows three Journeys on adventures -- with kayakers, friends on a road trip and a camping family -- heading to a "beautiful location" where they now sit waiting for you. The video below tells how to play.

The sites are one each in the West, Midwest and East. More TV ads in the next two weeks will offer specific clues and more clues are on YouTube, plus there's (we love this part) a live, 24/7 video feed of the hidden Journeys.

The contest ends Sept. 27 and is open to U.S. residents old enough to join the Army or buy cigarettes.

To get people to explore the world wide world, Dodge left three Journeys somewhere out there for you to find. You find one, you can have one. Here's how to play...
