1st time poster here. After research and test drives, I am about to order a Sahara and trying to keep msrp below $50k. Below are the options ranked from must haves to "I'd think about it if it were free".
Must Haves
1) Turbo 2.0 (I drive about 80% city so I am hoping for an extra 3-4 mpg with the low end torque a bonus)
2) Active Safety Package (I like the blind spot monitor. Shuttling around 2 small kids, so I will gladly pay for any incremental improvement in safety)
3) Leather (like the feel, looks good on the dash, easier to clean up w kids)
4 ) Body Color Hard Top (Looks great with Firecracker red, makes the jeep a bit more unique)
On the fence
5) Electronic Infotainment Group (listen mostly to podcasts so don't care about Alpine, use phone navigation, but the 8.4 looks much better than the 7.0 and easier to use the touchscreen).
Will not order
6) LEDs (good value and would purchase if I did a lot of driving at night outside the city)
7) Remote Proximity keyless entry (would be convenient but not worth $500 to me)
8) Selec-Trac (Don't need this in California. When I go offroad or 1x a year to the snow, 4H is sufficient)
9) Optional Wheels ( like them better than the stock wheels, but If I am spending $900 would rather just buy aftermarket rims for the same price)
10) Trailer Tow (don't tow, don't plan to mod much)
11) Hard Top Headliner - low quality. Plan to buy Hothead headliner - much better quality for similar or lower price.
