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

Recommended Posts

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.

 

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.

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.

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
