  1. Unsure of where to start negotiating with my dealer

    The advice you’ve already gotten is good advice. Make sure you let it all sink in You seem to have your mind made up on getting a new jeep and I can understand the excitement but slooowww down. At this point, my advice would be to view the $1000 deposit as a learning experience in...
  2. The dealership ordered the wrong Jeep!!???!

    Age doesn't have anything directly to do it. And I'm sure your excitement about all the adventures you could have in your new jeep was something that you were greatly looking forward to. And it's super frustrating for anyone, at any age, to experience disappointment when you have an...
  3. Yakima EXO —- anyone use?

    Thanks. I started looking at wranglers a couple years ago before I bought my current vehicle, which has been a great commuter car after just starting a new job. But it doesn't support other activities and my wife's vehicle is coming up for a potential replacement so I'm still lurking on the...
  4. Yakima EXO —- anyone use?

    Thanks for posting up the pictures and details. I don't even own a wrangler yet, but given family and active hobbies, I'm trying to figure out if the wrangler will work for us and what options there are for carrying gear, mostly for camping and mountain biking adventures. I'm still on the...
  5. Yakima EXO —- anyone use?

    What about clearance for the spare tire on the back? That might be a deal breaker on this... I like it though and was wondering if it would work.
  6. Possibly buying 2018 CPO Rubi Unlimited today, what things to look for??

    To the OP, did you end up buying the JLUR? If you did, what kind of deal were you able to get? Where are you located? I’m in a similar situation, and found a very similar 2018 JLUR at a dealer close buy with almost the same equipment and mileage (even the same color). I haven’t gone for a...
  7. Seemingly Obsessed with Wranglers - But Have Never Owned One... Help!!

    Seems you got an awesome deal! Good deals look to be ~11% off MSRP. Did you buy at the end of the model year or have some other method to get ~ 20% off? $45K was the range I had thought it would be to get what I wanted when I originally started looking a couple years ago before I bought my...

    I love mountains. Lived out west in New Mexico / Colorado area, and PNW In Oregon for about a decade, and the mountains are my happy space. Had 4WD vehicles out there that I used to explore and go skiing/snowboarding, hiking, and mountain biking a lot. It was easy for my wife to understand...
  9. Seemingly Obsessed with Wranglers - But Have Never Owned One... Help!!

    And now a question- has anyone owned both a JKUR and a JLUR? What did you find to be the major differences? I’m trying to get a sense of JK vs. JL in the rubicon trim. A rubicon is what I’d want but not sure my budget would be comfortable with one. With that said, since I have the recent...

    Forgot to mention that we even got ducked when we stopped to hike to a view point. That was awesome.

    Quick update- Turo rental was a success. Family had a blast and even my wife seemed to have fun in the wrangler. If were just her, she would gravitate towards smooth, quiet, and luxury, over rugged, loud, and bumpy - but the trip highlighted all the benefits of a wrangler. We were able to go...

    I hear ya. I keep building what I WANT online and I’m between $55-60k msrp, which is so much $. Just having a hard time wrapping my head around that.

    Well... drove the rental 2017 JKUR about a 180 miles today to the mountains for a long weekend in an Airbnb. Kids loved the jeep, though they commented that it was a little louder and rougher than they were used to but don’t think that will matter to them. Took the roof panels off for a few...
  14. Seemingly Obsessed with Wranglers - But Have Never Owned One... Help!!

    If I buy a wrangler, and sell the car, it will be first time that I've replaced a vehicle so soon (other than cars bought as extra vehicles / toys). I usually do research for needs/wants and have bought new and keep them 6+ years. The average cost/year doing this has been very reasonable for...
  15. Seemingly Obsessed with Wranglers - But Have Never Owned One... Help!!

    I know that if I would have bought the 2016 JK that I test drove in 2019, I could sell it now for basically what I almost bought it for based on what I see in the used market now. The market might be a little unusual now, but I suspect retained value will still be good looking into the future.

    Our Odyssey is FWD. Toyota Sienna has an AWD option, but I don't believe there's ever been an AWD Odyssey. We only have two kids but have enjoyed the space for us, them, and our dog. Had a Subaru Outback before kids and even then I had a roof top cargo box when we were camping and taking...

    Many points there... first, the accord is a pretty decent car, at least with the 2.0T and adaptive suspension on the touring model. It handles well, get decent mileage if I'm gentle on the throttle and the latest gen is a nice car inside. With that said, your points about the kids remembering...

    I tend to over think things and be too practical at times
