Better find a good mechanic if you're looking at a jeep too.

Bought my wife's 2015 with 2000 miles on it from a place in N. Ft Worth that specializes in lifted Jeeps and trucks. Don't remember the name but could find the papers if interested in a DFW place.

Never had one, but it's wildly known that they are problem childs.
I'm sure you probably took great care of yours, but that doesn't negate that they commonly have problems.

If you are talking about a Wrangler, the best deal is still new. The used Wrangler market is crazy. David Stanley in Oklahoma can save you some money if you are willing to drive. If used is the route you are going, avoid pre-2013 wranglers. Some early 3.6's had head issues, and the 3.8 is a weak dog.

Selling an FJ for a jeep... I think that’s one of the commandments. “Thou shall not sell thy FJ for a heep”

Best advice in this thread. The 2012 3.6 had head and oil leak issues. The 2013 and newer is what you need to focus on.

Other advice, the Rubicon is worth it for the electronic lockers if you plan on using the 4wd. If it’s for your wife and not really Going to be used for off-road, then get the Sahara.

Another thing, insurance is shockingly cheap. I bought a 2013 Rubicon in April and my insurance is half what my one fiddy or two fiddy’s have been.

Oh and at some point you’ll need something done...Dallas Offroad is legit group to deal with, not sure in deep East TX.

The Bronco is great but it’s looking like next year until they are in numbers where you might be able to buy one right.

Two years ago I debated selling a great FJ Cruiser with I think between 50 - 60k miles or trading for a Jeep Wrangler. If purchasing vs. trading read the fine print on Autotrader ads. Some prices shown don't include incentives you have to qualify for. It was mind boggling and very irritating. To get that price two years ago I would have had to recently purchased a New Holland tractor. You read that right. Also I would have had to be a member -- I think -- of Young Farmers of America, or something like that, be a veteran, finance with Chrysler, and a few more hoops.

David Stanley near OK City was the only one I found that was honest about the pricing. I was about a day away from going after one with plans to sell the FJ. I figured I would do better selling vs. trading. However, the dealer in Greenville made me an acceptable offer on the FJ. For $3,750 TT&L out the door difference between a 2014 FJ and a new 2018 4-door hardtop Wrangler -- I took it.

If you study used prices vs. new it is hard to not go new. At least you know you aren't buying something that has attempted mountain climbing.

On any of these newer ones, I agree. You come to expect it from the old ones(which are just way cooler to me)


I’d keep the FJ
