Wait.... What?? How does this make any sense? The base price of a stock X is by default LESS than a stock Sahara, let alone a optioned out one. Employee/military/government/circus clown pricing or not, shouldn't Saharas always cost MORE than a Sport/X?

Questions or comments??
Lol if you felt to each his own than what was the point of this thread? You have contradicted yourself again. Well hey at least your post count is getting high.....

Mine's a DD. It's not more badass that anyone's to be honest with ya - never ever said it was. Not in a single post. I've a fairly modest build that's more for the road than offroading, and yes I spend 95% of the time onroad like most human beings and go play offroad once or twice a week.

So back atcha - why are YOU acting like some badass anyway? Being in a Sahara and all (just kidding, you gotta learn my sense of humor here)

Oh so that's why all the Saharas I pass keep flipping me off......

But hey. I truly salute you for having served our country. We can drive our JK's, speak freely and make fun of each other because of brave men and women like yourself

I don't care what is said about mine.

I bought the jeep at a jeep dealership that was being forced to close a couple of years ago by Detroit. It was a new 2008, when 2010's were 3 months away from release.

$23,500 w/lifetime powertrain...sticker was 33,000. It is my DD, so this was a no brainer for me. Once it is paid off (1 mote year) it will be a 3rd vehicle. The fun will begin then!
