Got a raise that I have been negotiating on for a while...may buy a Jeep

[thefuzz]

Just a little early Christmas gift to myself.

 

 

Looking for something between 2000-2007, Wrangler, Manuel, with the I6.

 

 

 

Do I need it....nope, but this has been in the works everyday for a year...think I will spoil myself a bit.

get some big tires on it

He should be different and go with smaller tires.

What's the question?

[Lumps]

get some big tires on it

But only if you have a small penis

Last year I got a good raise and I used it to buy my wife a nice christmas gift.

The popularity of Jeeps has gone thru the roof in recent years and with the emergence of the Wrangler X Unlimited, the basic Wrangler is just now starting to adjust and prices falling a little.

 

My last Wrangler I had for about 4 years and some guy walks into where I was working and started asking who owned the black one in the parking lot. Someone directed the guy to me and he pulls out a roll of cash and asks me how much I want for it. Needless to say, I called the wife for a ride home after work that night...

I owned a Jeep a few years back. You better start putting money aside for repairs. Those things are a blast to drive, but they guzzle gas and break down.

I owned one for 6 years and loved it. Wished I had it still.

The newer version of the inline 6 is an exceptionally reliable engine. The 4.0 version intro'd in 1991 and used until about 2000 (not sure of the last year), not so much...

The 4.0 is bulletproof, my girlfriend had a 4.0 Cherokee in college and it was going strong with 400k on the original motor when we sold it.

Nowadays a modern engine in about any vehicle is reliable. It's everything else that breaks. Timing belt, water pump, radiator, e-fan, starter, CSPS, fuel pump, cv joints, axle bearings, wheel bearings, u-joints, and on and on and on. Jeeps are also notorious for electrical problems.

Jeeps, trucks, sports cars, etc... They're all a blast to own and drive. But if you use them for their intended purpose they're gonna break. It's just part of the territory.

I remember the thread about how to ask for a raise. Congrats!

What folks are getting for their Wranglers in this part of the state is crazy.  Best "deal" I can find out there has I6, 146k miles, soft top, good wheels and tires, and is $9,990.

 

It's a damn 2001.  Wild to hold their value that much.

Same here with a K5 Blazer that I had in high school.  One of the reasons I'm looking at a jeep.

Didn't they make a jeep with a slant six?

I've been getting crap at work because I drive a 25 year old car. And looking at an Evo, Sti, or a Grand Cherokee.
