The problem with this question is it’s like asking someone “which skivvy drawers are the most comfortable?“. So with that, I would choose one with a 3.6L and 8 speed auto transmission.

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

It's beautiful, thank you Jay!

My advice is to look at a brand new one or new 25, there will be discounts on the 25’s
The interest rate will be lower on the new one so the payments will be close.
you then get to create your own history.

Depending on what your upper limit is to spend, I'd encourage you to check out a site such as Car Gurus as a search option. I plugged in Andover and went for a 200-mile radius from you. Set the options as 2-door, 2019-2024, price range of $19K-25K, 40K or less miles, and all of the 2-door models that showed up as available. I'd have to dig in deeper, but there are several on there that might meet your desire.

I personally would not touch a 2024 with 74K miles on it. Holy cow. It may be updated, but that's a lot of mileage in a short time. Your call. Depending on your budget, you may be able to swing one that will work for you. I've had good luck using Car Gurus as a relative baseline. Key in all cases is to get eyes-on, or have a great rep pro do it for you, and check the maintenance records as much as possible. You can also use this site to see what the original sticker was on whatever you are looking at as a relative measuring stick: Window Sticker Lookup by VIN

Wishing you the best of luck, and we look forward to you joining Team Jeep once you decide! 👍

None... but it pays well.
My 2019 sat for years in dealer show room floor during Corona. Sold as new in 2022 with 20 miles. Was traded in in 2024 with 80k. The owner had lived in Houston and traveled to DC area a lot. I am guessing Langley, VA is where they had work. Thinking I have a NASA Jeep. Ha! I've put on 40k trouble free miles in 1.5 years. Milage has nothing to do with reliability. It is care and maintenance that matters.

Understood. Thank you.
