Answer 1

Okay let's see your structure (assuming that you have already deserialized your JSON string).
You have an NSDictionary with two keys (dealer & success). Now dealer key is an NSArray with two NSDictionaries. So based on that we could do:
NSDictionary *myJson; // Assuming that this is what you have posted
NSArray *dealers = [myJson valueForKey:#"dealer"];
// Now just grab whatever you need
NSString *dealerOne = [[dealers objectAtIndex:0] valueForKey:#"0"]; //Mile High Motors of Butte
NSString *dealerTwo = [[dealers objectAtIndex:1] valueForKey:#"0"]; //Mile High Motors of Dillon
Or you could just iterate your dealers array like this:
for (NSDictionary *dealer in dealers)
{
NSString *dealerName = [dealer valueForKey:#"0"];
// Do something useful
}

Answer 2

NSMutableArray yourStringArray= [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; //for getting texts what you want.
NSArray * array1 = [yourDictionary valueForKey:#"dealer"];// You will get array which has dictionary elements.
for (NSDictionary *dealer in array1)// Write loop for getting your string.
{
NSString *dealerName = [dealer valueForKey:#"0"];
[yourStringArray addObject:dealerName];
}
I think it will be helpful to you.
