Last thing we expected was to buy a new vehicle. We kind of liked our Dodge Caliber. But the car salesmen have their tricks. In this case they were right. I had gone so over miles, returning the car at the end of the lease would have meant an extra $6000! Keeping it meant I would pay more than the vehicle was worth on todays market. On top of it, I was slightly concerned it may begin to show its age soon. Thus we made a deal.
Yup, a 2009 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited in Black!
This summer we tried the soft top , it is the only 4 door convertible e in North America.
Tuire had always wanted a real Jeep. I never thought about it. I thought the Nitro’s were a good deal with $8000 worth of rebates but they had none anywhere. Tuire didn’t like the Nitros. First time I saw a 4 door jeep I was surprised. It looked great, and wasn’t as truck-like as I expected. In a way in was a combination of our previous 2 vehicles (Ford Ranger 4WD FX4 and Dodge Caliber). The Ranger was rolled on black ice in Feb. and was totaled, and I really missed the utilitarian aspect of it. Thus we bought the jeep.
Interesting thing about the Wrangler would surprise most people. A recent study in the UK showed the Wrangler to BE THE MOST GREEN CAR SOLD IN THE UK! Unlike the blinder vision of a David Suzuki and Al Gore, the study took into account eco-cost to build and design, years of use and corresponding consumption/pollution and finally recyclability. A car recycler rubs their hands in glee when they see a Wrangler, not so much a Prius with its toxins and spent batteries.
So far so good, we really like it, I just need a roof rack for oversized items. Still getting use to the Jeep wave!
