I have owned a TJ, JK, JL. The JL is BY FAR the best Wrangler. A warranty is nice peace of mind. You have a really nice budget. My suggestion is to buy the newest model within your budget. Consider traveling to one of the dealers who offer good discounts to save a few thousand bucks. I have traveled for 4-5 cars. Just make a adventure out of he road trip back home. Good luck.
One of the benefits of driving cars for 10-15 years is that you get to go MANY years without a car payment, so it's easier to build up a nice budget for the next one.
Affiliate gets you 2% more under invoice. 1% for you and 1% for the dealer. Before this crazy market some dealers gave the full 2% to the buyer. There are thousands of companies that qualify for Affiliate. Check if you qualify for Affiliate or join Tread Lightly for $100 if you don't. There is also a climbing organization you can join for $50 that will qualify you for Affiliate. I will post the name if I can remember it.One of the benefits of driving cars for 10-15 years is that you get to go MANY years without a car payment, so it's easier to build up a nice budget for the next one.
I'm definitely open to traveling. There's a dealership down near Houston (~4-5 hrs) that is offering 5% off invoice for custom orders, and someone on here recently bought from them. However, I also plan to send my PDF to a few out of state dealers, too - if I can buy a $200 plane ticket and save another $2-3K, PLUS I get a road trip out of it? Money in the bag.

If you order the saddle brown leather interior on the rubicon it gets rid of most of the red interior stuff. Much nicer looking IMO.
Yes, but then I have a saddle brown leather interior, which I also do not want.
Prices are always going up
I’m happy for 35s and uConnect 5.
So I can pretty much assume this will be the case forever with the EcoDiesel option then?
Isn’t it the same transfer case in the 392 though? With the exception of 2H
That's a good point! Maybe it's possible then? So would only driving the Diesel a few miles a day lets says 5 days out of the week actually be detrimental on the engine and its intended purpose?
Short commutes and stop-and-go traffic aren't the best for diesel engines, which prefer to be fully warmed up and run (preferably at highway speeds). However, it may work for you if you're able to hit the road during the week.
