Looking at buying Wrangler ..
I'm currently looking at buying a a Jeep Wrangler and having a hard time decided what to get and add ons .. I know I want the color in black and a 2 door manuel but sure on the following: new or old body style, sport/Sahara / rubicon, hard or soft top (I do live in Oregon so weather maybe an issue) etc?? If anyone can give me some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Also if you can let me know what good prices are as well? Thanks

What do you want to use it for? Dirt trails, rock crawling, etc. If you plan on doing any difficult rock crawling then you should go with the Rubicon but if not... ask yourself how luxurious do you want the interior ride to be. Do you need power everything or would you be OK with manual locks and windows. As far as price, are you planning on buying new or used, dealer or private seller. Personally, if you plan on putting tires bigger than 33's then you should look at a 2012, the power is amazing from what I hear. Or, you can purchase a used one with lower gears so you regain some of the loss power. I have seen a few really nice JK's for sale on here in recent months. Everyone wants a 2012. If you buy used look at Emunds to get a starting point on the price. Hope this helps a little because I know I went back and forth on all the different avenues available when looking at purchasing a Jeep. Good luck!

My new 2012 has power to spare.(285 hp)
Im only a weekend warrior ....logging roads, a little mud and small creeks to cross getting to my fishing spots.
I got the sahara, lots of goodies, rides great and lots of power to get me there.
