Consumer autos stalwart Kelley Blue Book is among the most trusted places on the web for buyers to price new and used vehicles. And KBB is trusting Jeep in it’s kbb.com 2010 Residual Value Study.
The study says the 2010 Jeep brand vehicles will maintain 35.7 percent of their original value after 5 years of ownership – more than 3 percent above the industry average.
“This achievement is a testament to the strength and heritage of the Jeep brand,” said James Bell, Executive Market Analyst – Kelley Blue Book. “The word ‘Jeep’ has long stood for strength, portraying the vision of what a Jeep is, and what it can do. The Wrangler has, and continues to be the backbone of this marque, drawing a strong and loyal following, helping to maintain it’s value”
While eight of the brands in the studys top 10 declined versus their 2009 values – with the industry average declining 1.6 percent – the Jeep brand’s resale value improved 2.8 percent for 2010. Please visit us at www.TunkAutoMart.com

2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4dr 4×4 Laredo

$20,559.00

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. Dijon-style mustard

1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1 Tbsp. snipped fresh rosemary

3 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

   1 2-1/2 to 3-lb. center-cut beef
      tenderloin roast or boneless pork
      top loin roast*

   1 4- to 6-oz. log garlic and herb goat
      cheese (chevre), cut crosswise into
      8 slices or 1/2 of an 8-oz. tub cream
      cheese spread with chive and onion

Snipped fresh rosemary

Garnishes (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl combine mustard, oil, 1 tablespoon rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread mixture over the beef tenderloin or pork loin. Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.

Place roast in oven. For medium-rare doneness, roast the beef, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes or until internal temperature registers 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Cover with foil; let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Meat temperature will rise about 10 degrees F on standing. (For medium doneness, roast, uncovered, for 45 to 50 minutes or until meat reaches 150 degrees F. Cover and let stand as directed above.)

Cut roast into 8 slices about 1 to 1-1/2 inch apart, cutting to, but not through, bottom of the meat. Tuck a slice of goat cheese into each cut (or spoon 1 tablespoon cream cheese into each cut). Sprinkle with additional rosemary. To serve, slice through the meat between each cheese portion. Serve roast with figs, steamed beets, and steamed baby artichokes.

Serves 8.

Make list: A list can help you plan ahead and shop more efficiently. Look through sales fliers and check the Internet for which stores are offering what deals. Then you can prioritize the items on your list, and plan out a route according to what is most important to you. Also list any coupons you have that can be used to further reduce prices.Leave the uninterested home: If some members of your family have absolutely no desire to go out shopping — go without them.Consider shopping more online: Avoid the mad rush and crazy drivers, save time and lower your stressUse coupon sites: some of these sites offer discounts with some of your largest retailers. Check them out. www.ebates.com; www.couponalbum.com; www.couponcabin.com.

Coordinate with other shoppers: Compare lists with friends and relatives. You can help each other shop by assigning different people to different stores. You can also use cell phones to aid in coordination.

Avoid distractions: Make sure you focus on the sale items you want. Avoid distractions in the form of non-sale items and sale items that you really have no use for.

Of course, at our dealership, we understand how the holiday period can leave you a little less cash strapped. So, we have prepared special pricing on all of our new and pre-owned vehicles, and are willing to pay top dollar for your trade. If you have equity you may get money back for the holiday and not have to make a car payment for another 45 days. Either way we will provide you with the best shopping experience and would like to show you our level of service and vehicle selection.

Please come by or make an appointment. We would be happy to see you before the new year!
