I also find it to funny you as an "employee" come to a forum to look for info on finding a Jeep lol

yeah it's kind of a funny story...so when i bought my 07 new i was...well....2wd. i didnt think i would need 4wd, and the salesman talked me out of it. naturally after having it a couple of months i had to have 4wd. so i trade for an 06 willys with a 6inch long arm lift and 35inch pro comp m/t's. i mean this thing was freaking sweet..finally it came in on a saturday afternoon and i drove it 30 miles and brought it right back...pulled the trans plug and saw about an inch of metal. needless to say i was upset. i hadn't signed the papers yet so i just gave it back and took my 07. so since then the sales managers kinda don't like me. funny huh?

so there is another funny story...i picked up the land rover for 15k and i checked the blue book and retail was about 17.5 so i thought it was a steal. 6 months after driving gas kinda went through the roof and i checked blue book again to see trade in was bringing a little over 6k and sugg. retail at around 10k. that would put a certain someone (me) in the upside down boat. so i cant get a used one. again funny right?

Hot dang, Jucebox, some folks would figure that if it wasn't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all! BTW: My dealer in OKC had about two dozen JKs on the lot a couple weeks ago--no Rubi's, however.

I have a 2008 xs 2 door manual...soft top... lovely jeep...

I'd let it go for 32k... a steal compared to the other offerings...

X2 on the charcoal. I was looking to get into a Rubi unlim, but gave up and am waiting since the market is so tight right now.
