I've had mine going on 2 years and I still consider it new. I think once your into the 80k mile range, then it starts feeling like not new. That may just he me though since I've never owned a vehicle with less than 80k on it before.

Well our new rubi (I still see it that way) just received its License Plate in the mail yesterday so I was starting to think well that's it can't call it new any longer, but I thought about it and decided well we still haven't had to make our first payment so its still new. Then my wife IM'd me saying she had just sent off our first Jeep payment...now I'm thinking the bloom is off the rose and it's no longer new.
When did you decide your Jeep was no longer new?

If not then put the bloom on the rose.

one year next week.
Still new to me.
Because it still smells new when I hop in. In two years it'll be totally paid off, by that time it won't be brand new... I'll consider it "newer."

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I hate having a new vehicle. When I bought my Jeep the other day, the first thing I did was find the nearest mud puddle for a few dips. The second thing I did was stop at the gas station and take off all the dealer license plate holders, emblem and tire cover and throw them in the trash. At that point, I considered my Jeep no longer new. Feels much better.

Ha,ha...awesome. When I got home I looked at the paperwork and they listed the tire cover as being worth $150!! Maybe I should go back and get that...
it was almost 4months old

Mine probably stopped being new about two weeks after it came home, right after I drilled the first hole into it to start mounting the Safari Rack. Then it was no longer a new Jeep it was MY Jeep.
