if you got the 12 id surely look it over and also research it to make sure that it doesnt have the bad head issue many experienced on the 12s.. or if it did then has it been replaced / repaired already...
without bumper to bumper warranty I wouldnt want to have to fight over powertrain warranty claim to get a head replaced.
like others have said a new one may also be the way to go.. esp a leftover 14. 0% financing, incentives, talking down the dealer, make a new one look pretty reasonable right now

For real look for a leftover '14. I picked up a Sahara unlimited, only options auto and hardtop. MSRP $35400 and I got it for $29k on 2.4% APR. That's a $6400 discount.
2-3 year old Saharas here are being listed for 30k if in good condition with low miles. Haggle it down a few grand and I thought it was a no brainer to get the new one.
You won't find as much discount on 2015s though. Also you have to be willing to not be picky if you want a really good deal that a dealer may want to get rid of off the lot.

Thanks for all of the great advice! I'm going to check out the 2014's. I just checked their site and they have a few 14's left, but get this, 3 Dragon editions! Unless they pull of the stickers, I can't see me in it. I bet I could get a great deal only because I know they have been sitting there a long time. I was searching around a few months back and they had 3 at the time. Maybe go old school and throw on a Dasiy Duke Golden Eagle on the hood and call it a throwback!
We will see....maybe a 14 would be a great deal and get in that 0% interest rate.

I haven't seen 0% anywhere, Chrysler's 0% seems to exclude the Wrangler and only apply to the other Jeeps. The lowest rates are always at Capital One, right now 2.4%, so if you can get that matched I'd say you're OK. For used you will be paying more interest, so do an amortization and see how much more and count that as a 'discount' on a new vs used (assuming you go through the whole loan term).
