I need some opinions. I have a Black 10' Sahara that i really do like. I looked a dealer yesterday at a 2011 with a lift...i really went to see what lift it had on it but now i am really digging the new interior and stuff on the 2011.

Now....to trade or not to trade that is my question. I got a good deal when i traded for the 2010 so I'm not worried about losing money on it.

Has anyone out there traded a 10 for and 11 and been disappointed.....or happy they did?

Also, automatic or standard? I always think of a Jeep as a vehicle that should be standard but on my 2010 I went with the automatic. It is my daily driver and i am in my late 30s and I'm really not sure if i would get tired of the standard or not.

Oh and the optional package is the one with the power windows and doors and stuff. Seems similar to what i have with the Sahara.

I have a 2010 sport, that I got a great deal on too (cheap + 0%). I considered trading it for a 2011 Rubi after I started doing more research about Jeeps, but I decided to wait for the new engine. I don't want to get the fancy new interior in a 2011 and end up wanting a new interior and a new engine in 2012... but that's just me.

Oh yeah, I'm wary of any mods installed at the dealer... yeah, they're more likely covered under warranty, but you pay through the nose for the 'upgrades', which generally don't include re-gearing, which is often needed. I think they usually mod-out a sport that they can't sell, instead of a Rubicon...

I traded up- a 2009 Sahara for a 2011 Rubicon and have absolutely no regrets!
LOVE the changes on the 11!

oh I wouldn't have the lift or anything done at the dealer...way too expensive...just doing a little lazy research....lol

Are they for sure coming out with a new engine in 2012? What is going to be different about it?

mattgt5

yes, new engine, more HP, better mpg supposedly. i believe they are saying somethign like 265hp, there are a few threads on that

troyboy

I bet the pentastar will have more than 265hp. The same engine in the 2011 challenger has 305hp. I've heard it will be around 295 to 305. Since you have a 2010 I would suggest you wait. You won't have to wait too many more months before we find out the exact specifics of the 2012 wrangler.

jay-nyc

just way but for the 2012 but if i have to chose right now i would go with the 2011 sport

Did they give you a trade difference between the 2010 sahara and the 2011 sport?
