Pink and black Jeep Wrangler finds a fitting home

With an extensive selection of new and used vehicles, Chapman Automotive boasts a vehicle for everyone at a price — and color — that fits any budget. Customer Bobbie Nemetz, who recently purchased a 2015 pink and black Jeep Sahara Wrangler, is a testament.

An avid pink lover, Nemetz previously owned a bubblegum pink Volkswagen bug. She’s also a Jeep lover, though never having owned one herself, she vividly remembers playing in the backyard of a friend’s house in a Willys Jeep with no top when she was a young child. From the age of 10, Nemetz vowed she would one day be a Jeep owner.

The years went on and Nemetz purchased a used Ford Edge from the Chapman Value Center on Warm Springs Road. Months later, while having her car serviced, Nemetz saw a pink Jeep Wrangler at the Chapman Chrysler Jeep location.

Having just purchased her car, she knew the timing wasn’t right. Three years later while at the Chapman Warm Springs location car shopping with her daughter, Nemetz saw a pink and black Jeep Sahara Wrangler and this time knew she had to make the vehicle hers.

She took several images of the Jeep and shared them with her children and, after consideration, decided the time was right to do something for herself. Two days later, she purchased the 2015 Jeep Sahara Wrangler.

“I made the Jeep mine and I haven’t looked back since,” said Nemetz. “I’m looking so forward to all the adventures we’ll have — we can take it to our cabin in the mountains, through the snow.”

Nemetz says the Jeep often makes her think of her two dear friends who have had bouts with breast cancer. It also reminds her of the story Lawrence Ennis, general manager of the Chapman Warm Springs location, shared about losing his mother to the disease.

“I’m excited to see this Jeep going to a great owner and someone who will appreciate the color as much as I do,” said Ennis. “As an advocate of breast cancer research and involved in the local Susan G. Komen chapter, I wear some pink each and every day in remembrance of my mom and so many others who’s battled this horrific disease.”

As great supporters of breast cancer research, the Chapman Automotive team participated in the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure event in downtown Las Vegas this month.
