Tom Whiteside Upper Sandusky Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Announces No-Dealer-Fee Pricing and Expanded Pre-Owned Inventory Near Marion and Tiffin

Sep 22, 2026

United States, September 22, 2026 -- Whiteside Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Upper Sandusky, located at 1045 E. Wyandot Ave., is transforming how local drivers buy new and pre-owned vehicles by committing to a strict no-dealer-fee policy across all retail and commercial sales. As car buyers across Wyandot, Marion, Crawford, Seneca, and Hardin counties face unexpected administrative and documentation charges at conventional dealerships, Tom Whiteside Upper Sandusky guarantees that the advertised price is the price customers pay.

Unlike regional competitors that append documentation or dealer fees at final signing, Tom Whiteside CDJR removes these line items entirely. “We believe we are the only new car dealership in the region operating with zero dealer fees,” said James Whittredge, a spokesperson for the dealership. “Removing these fees gives buyers full confidence when comparing prices on a new Ram 1500 truck, Jeep Wrangler, or Jeep Grand Cherokee. Customers can redirect those savings into long-term protection packages, service contracts, or custom accessories.”

Operating under new ownership since December 2025, the dealership prioritizes direct accountability. Tom Whiteside remains one of the few dealership groups featuring the owner's personal cell phone number directly on whitesideupper.com, a level of access it says customers will not find at larger, more corporate dealership groups.

To keep turnaround fast and serve local commuting and agricultural needs, the dealership maintains a robust inventory. New Jeep SUVs and Ram trucks are available with 4x4 capability, including daily work-ready Ram 1500 and 2500 models alongside the Jeep lineup's off-road capability. Quality pre-owned vehicles round out the lot, backed by a certified sales and service staff, with rigorously inspected used cars, trucks, and SUVs, including a dedicated selection of vehicles priced under $20,000 for budget-minded buyers. On the commercial side, the dealership sources Ram trucks and ProMaster commercial vans for business operators, local contractors, and commercial fleets, all backed by the same zero-dealer-fee pricing offered to individual buyers. Flexible vehicle financing rounds out the offering, with auto loan options tailored to diverse credit profiles aimed at keeping monthly payments affordable.

Drivers shopping for new Jeeps, Ram trucks, or pre-owned vehicles within 30 miles of Upper Sandusky are invited to compare pricing online at whitesideupper.com.

The uncomfortable truth about aquariums

The uncomfortable truth about aquariums

Young visitors watch the beluga whales at L'Oceanogràfic in Valencia, Spain. | Miguel Candela/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images This story appeared in Today, Explained, a daily newsletter that helps you understand the most compelling news and stories of the day. Subscribe here. Four beluga whales have died in a month at one of America’s top-rated aquariums — a tragic development and, arguably, a reason to revisit the ethics of zoos. (More on that in just a minute.) The latest cetacean casualty, a 26-year-old female named Osiris, died at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium yesterday. She follows 34-year-old Beethoven, a longtime resident of the aquarium, as well as 20-year-old Rain and 23-year-old Peekachu, who died in late August and early September.    Osiris, Rain and Peekachu were all part of the Marineland diaspora: a group of four dolphins and 30 beluga whales that rescuers have worked to relocate since the 2024 closure of a scandal-plagued theme park in Niagara Falls, Canada. This summer, the animals were successfully transferred to aquariums and marine parks in the US and Spain. That was a frankly incredible undertaking involving padded shipping containers, a police-escorted convoy and a chartered plane.  But in some regards, the international flight wasn’t even the hardest part of the whales’ journeys. Some of the animals have struggled to thrive in their new environments — even when those environments are state-of-the-art, like Shedd.  In a blog post announcing Osiris’s death, the aquarium noted that its rescued whales had been under 24-hour supervision and receiving intensive, specialized care. The aquarium is still investigating the cause of death for all four whales.  Go a little deeper View Link Believe me when I tell you that it gives me no pleasure to write the following paragraphs. I really love aquariums. In fact, as a kid, I grew up visiting the now-shuttered and much-maligned Marineland.  But incidents like these back-to-back deaths should prompt us all to ask ourselves who aquariums and zoos are actually for. And the answer, I regret to tell you, is frequently not “the animals” — though zoos and aquariums have, since the mid-20th century, marketed themselves as both tourist attractions and important players in wildlife education and conservation.   As my colleague Kenny Torrella writes, these institutions and their defenders argue they protect animals in three ways: first, by raising money for wildlife conservation projects; second, by helping to reintroduce vulnerable species back into the wild; and third, by inspiring visitors to take an interest in the environment. The Shedd Aquarium’s motto, for instance, is “For Love of Waterkind.”  It’s worth scrutinizing those purported virtues, however — even when prestigious and reputable institutions like Shedd are making them. On one hand, there is merit to the claim that zoos and aquariums fundraise for wildlife conservation: In 2022, the latest year for which data is available, one group of accredited zoos and aquariums spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars on habitat projects.  The evidence is thinner on the other points, though. It’s incredibly rare for aquariums and zoos to reintroduce endangered species back into the wild — that’s very difficult to do. And surveys of zoo and aquarium visitors show that merely seeing a wild animal in a tourist setting doesn’t generally galvanize people on matters of welfare or stewardship. Living in captivity in that tourist setting, however, can be stressful (or worse) for the animals themselves.  But what would a humane alternative look like? Even if zoos and aquariums stopped catching animals in the wild, that would still leave many thousands who are injured, orphaned, born in captivity, or otherwise accustomed to human care.  When it comes to whales, one nonprofit advocacy organization is already working on an alternative: a 110-acre coastal sanctuary for “retired” whales. That project, however, is still a long way from completion. And in the meantime, it’s up to consumers to decide whether the stated benefits of zoos and aquariums outweigh the potential harms to the animals they exhibit. One link for later ➨ Beware the trap of “moral perfection.” We should all endeavor to live lives that embody our values, sure. But if you never board a plane because you care about the climate, or you never take your kid to zoos because you read the arguments above, then you might end up with a smaller, less-lived life. And that’s no good, either.  Before you go… Did you know…that there have been “revolutionary” advancements in Alzheimer’s treatments in just the past five years? Two new drugs both markedly slow the progress of dementia. Today’s trivia: Geography time! What country is bordered by Chad to the east and Mali to the west?

Yesterday’s trivia: Yesterday we asked you for the classic Broadway star who first sang hits including “There’s No Business Like Show Business.” That would be Ethel Merman, whom one biographer dubbed “the most successful musical comedy performer of her generation.”
