How awesome is this?

I was ready to read $10,000 as a really good deal, not 20. Nope

Mechanic (aircraft) yes, glutton for punishment - NO!

unless you are a mechanic and a glutton for punishment.

I have an opportunity to buy a very high miler for very cheap.
its a ‘20 Rubi UL with a 150k on the 2.0. I can get it for a little over 20k.
From the pictures and video, it looks very good but the mileage scares me a little bit.

I am inclined to get it unless something completely new develops in the next couple of days.

Any info/insight would be appreciated.

TIA

Man, that is a lot of miles. My 2020 diesel only has 8900 miles.

Locally, a Rube JLU of that year and mileage, which otherwise presents well, might indeed list and sell for a flat $20K. Comps support this observation. Just last year, I saw a tired TJ, a real 30 footer with a bit of malignancy already underway, quickly sell for $8K. That's just one example that comes to mind...and as suggested, there's hardly a shortage of Jeeps to choose from. That makes the TJ's $8K Ask particularly instructive.

I'm a bit less Chicken Little than others on the subject, but I've also had an above-average ownership experience with my 2021 JLU 2.0T...which just crossed the 100K threshold in May.

It probably doesn’t matter. If you want to spend in the low to mid 20,000s on a 5-7 year old Jeep with higher miles, it’s a risk. You don’t know how the previous owner took care of it. And you don’t know what issues it had.

I had a ‘19 Sahara, no accidents and 50k miles I just sold to Carmax because it developed an on and off again electrical issue. It spent a lot of time in the shop and a few thousand dollars trying to cure it.

it could be your next Jeep…for the right price! You just never know when buying a used one.

it’s a risk. You might get lucky, you might not.

If you are a good judge of horseflesh, so to say, and you like all that it has to offer, then make an offer on it. Research local auction prices, ebay sold for prices, etc, to see if your offer is realistic. The worse thing they can say is no.

Might as well start to build the 2.0 you have on a stand, so it will be ready when you need it.

Was it a 2.0 or 3.6?

3.6 MT. Variety of electrical issues intermittently manifested from the dreaded service transmission to back up sensor to ABS to service 4WD. Strangest thing. Replaced various sensors and electrical components. Some courtesy of the dealer, some I paid for. Could never quite get it straightened out. dealership was great and very helpful. just couldn’t get there.

I had a Tahoe years ago that did the same thing. Mysterious intermittent electrical issues. Could never quite get the cure.

I dropped it off at Carmax and went back to the Jeep dealer and ordered a new 2025.
