So....
Other than simple maintenance, and easy mods, will you be able to work on your JT?
Where I am going with this is, with all the electronic gadgetry now on vehicles, are you capable once warranty has expired, able to other things other than oil and filters?
I know I am not, I don't have much savvy when it comes to modern electronics.
How much less expensive would the JT be if it was less modern like a CJ.
On my WK2, it's has so many really useless gadgets, it concerns me when the warranty expires and they do too.
I know, I bought it knowing that, but still....
My wife (service manager at Jeep) comes home daily to "freak" me out on what it
cost her clients to repair their vehicles.
8.4 radio/nav screen and its guts....$2500 for the part!
Transmissions....$5000+
The price we pay for modern technology I guess, but nothing is bullet proof.
