I had thought my №5 (2018 JL) would be a temporary jeep as it didn’t have everything I wanted, but with the prices being what the are and my jeep being nearly being paid off, I’ve changed my mind and decided to keep it until it falls apart. It’s been a solid jeep with no issues.

I love what I’ve seen of the redesigned radio in the 2024s but not enough have to deal with car payments for another 5 or 6 years. I guess I’m getting old…

Had a 2018 I got used with only 4k miles on her in 2019, but it didn't have the options I wanted. Got a killer deal, most likely because she was a 6sp and harder to sell. So when sarge came out, I fell in love, sarge had the alpine, LED, cold weather packages I wanted and nothing I didn't want, and also a 6sp. 2 years on and 30k miles later, I took advantage of the insane used market values at the time in 2021, got what I had paid for for the 2018, got my 2021 Sahara Sarge for 46k. Not that same Jeep is at least 55k, too rich for my blood, have far more important things my money needs to go to so Sarge better go the distance, i.e. I thinking at least 10 years and 150k miles, but am shooting for the magical 200k barrier...

Not sure I want to drive any Stellantis product past 100k. Way too many electronic elements to deal with. I have 33,000 miles n my 2020; perhaps another 2 or 3 years…perhaps a Toyota if they put a decent motor in the Forrunner….
