Jeremiah Motors

Jeremiah Motors is the name of a fictional used cars & trucks dealership seen in the teen television series, Degrassi: The Next Generation. Owned and operated by Joey Jeremiah, it first appears to be a local retailer however, it has undergone three major changes.

2001
It's first seen in the series premier, with Joey trying to sell a car to Lucy and the number and quality of cars depicted, seem fairly limited. Joey employed the use of a very ridiculous advertisement (involving him ripping his shirt off), which was the subject of his friend's humour and Keith's criticism, who told Joey that it either makes or breaks a business and that he should hire a real actor to avoid the "shifty, used carsalesman vibe".

"Hey! We got white ones, we got red ones, we got big ones, and we got small ones. If you buy it from me, I'm going to give you a one year guaranteed warranty. At Jeremiah Motors, if you find a lower price anywhere else, [ripping off shirt] I'LL GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF MY BACK! Jeremiah Motors. We will not be undersold"

2002
In the second season episode Drive, Jeremiah Motors is featured yet again, but now with a larger look. While selling a car, Joey mentions that all his cars are certified and seemingly even go lengths to deduct expenses, for the sake of making a sale. Craig is now a part-time employee and the business seems to be expanded, as its hosts about 14 publically shown salescars. With Craig being assigned to drive a car out to be cleaned, he's later inspired to take the same car when he and his friends break in for a Joyride

When Sean, Spinner, and Marco find out that Kid Elrick tickets are sold out, Craig comes along and invites them to his house for the weekend, as he would have the house to himself. Eventually being bored by the strict rules that Joey placed, Craig tells his friends about him taking the car across the lot, and how it was the "coolest thing he'd ever done". Spinner and Sean suggest to take the car out for a joyride the next day, with Spinner pointing out that Craig probably knows where Joey hides his keys. It's the next day, and the boys sneak into the lot to borrow the car. Entering the office to obtain the keys, they unbeknowingly trip the silent alarm, and the phone rings. Quickly leaving the office, the boys take out the car. And though it takes a while for it to start up, Craig manages to drive it out of Jeremiah Motors, and onto the open road. Hearing on the radio that a contest was being held in a nearby park for the sold out Kid Elrick tickets, the boys speed towards the park and win the tickets by answering a question sucessfully. When they return the car back to the lot, an angry Joey bursts out of his office and informs them of the silent alarm while dismissing Craig's friends.

2004
Jeremiah Motors debutes again when Spinner is buying his first car in Part One of the Season 4 premier, Ghost in the Machine, Part 1. Now a much more expansive and grander business, home to about 40 or more cars in a wide, pristine parking lot.

Ignoring Craig's suggestive nicknames of "Sparky", "Kirby", and "Thomas" and decides to call it the "Love Mobile". Paige is about to pour water on it to "Christen their new baby" when Joey tells them that they didn't own it yet, to which Spinner buys the tax-free red (insert cartype here) for $27, 000 (equivilant of working for 386 miserable hours).
