I need help, which would you pick?

[rspesaturo]

Hello, thank you for allowing me to be part of this forum. I'm in the market for a used Jeep Wrangler Sport, 2 door, hard top. I found these three vehicles, they are all of equal condition and options. Which one would you pick? 2019 Wrangler Sport w/76,131 mi. for $19,990, 2020 Wrangler Sport w/57, 574 mi. for $22,777 or 2024 Wrangler Sport w/74,000 mi. for $24,998.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you,

Richard

What's the maintenance record on them? All 3 are in the mileage range for head gasket issues. I think the 2019 and 2020 are a bit much given mileage and age.

 

[rspesaturo]

They all have great maintenance records, no accidents, one owner.

The one with the 8 speed transmission.

Give us engine size info please. Can only go off color and mileage so far. Either way underbid/offer the sale price. And no add ones like nitrogen in tires or scotch guard etc.

I have over 120k on odo on my 2019 v6 and no head gasket issues. I'd go with the 2024 just because it will have some factory updates. no need for aftermarket stubby radio antenna. Also has better looking wheels and a color that does not show dirt as bad as other colors.

I'd go for the one with the 2.0T engine and auto transmission.

I'm going towards that one as well. Thank you!

I wasin the same boat with Sports almost 2 years ago. Looked into Willys at or near the same price range. Ended up spending an extra $4,400 over your pick for my Rubicon with around 82k. Unless you are serious about building up, look at higher trim levels.

2024 is the no-brainer here. Newest and best looking (color & wheels). Uconnect5 is a nice upgrade as well.

 

[AmericanPatriot100]

I would say anvil. But being mine being a V6 6MT I’d probably say which ever one is a 2.0T with 8spd auto.

 

[AmericanPatriot100]

I love my 2025 V6 6MT and on the trail it’s not bad. But others that have come from the manual to the auto have said some great things about the 8spd auto. My 2016 GC had the 8spd auto and I wasn’t very impressed but it was heavy with big tires and lift and other junk. And I just wheeled it. If I were to do my wrangler purchase over I’d drive the auto and manual back to back. I went in wanting a manual and didn’t even drive the autos.

@rspesaturo

Richard, which one are you leaning towards and why? Since you've shared just age and color maybe we can then support or refute your choice with more subjective noise.

Get the one you want, not what we tell you to.

BTW, 2 door, hardtop is an excellent starting position. Any other option(s) are just fluff.

For reference, I have a 2019 Sport S 2 door 3.6L Auto, lifted on 35s with the heated seats and steering wheel, 110K trouble-free miles. Best damn daily driver I've ever owned. You'll love yours.

P.S. Stay away from the shitty UConnect 3 Radio that came in my 2019.

Best Regards,
Jay
