New Jeep - maybe
 

well Im looking at tradeing in my 09 escape for a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. I took it out tonight and talked some numbers. The numbers are not bad. I have to decide tonight and go back tomorrow if I want it, the reason tomrrow is its the last day of Jeeps Rebate which is pretty good. Plus the jeep I want they have to bring in and if I wait to long it could sell.

I really like the jeeps, never owned one but Im love the 2011 model, lots of nice options I would have never thought would be in a jeep. I wil say I am a little worried about gas mileage. The 2011 maybe the older models have it too have a ECO mode. I have to read up on that but it suppose to be a fuel save mode.

Ive been lurking this form for the last 48 hours reading as much as I can to make sure I make a educated decision.

Plain and simple if you are concerned with fuel mileage do not buy a Jeep. Hopefully you will get over the fuel issue and take the plunge into this addiction!

Re: New Jeep - maybe
 

X2 on that, if fuel economy is your worry don't buy a Jeep. Every mod you make to the JK just makes fuel mileage worse. No eco mode will help that. Driving like Granny and using cruise control on the hwy will help.

Unfortunately,Adrian is right..if fuel economy is what you want,don't get a Jeep.On the other hand,If you want to be a part of an exclusive club,then by all means get one!!:banana:

agreed with them....i drove a little honda civic prior to my jk...i dont care about fuelll...its a jeep thing ;)

Re: New Jeep - maybe
 

Sorry should have thrown this in there as well. I tell people all the time the best mod I ever did was buy a daily driver. There are lots of cars out there for around $2000 that are reliable fuel efficient and cheap on parts. The added cost of a second vehicle far out weighs the cost of fuel for our beloved Jeeps.

Well deal is done. Jeep has been bought. I should be picking it up on Tuesday. I am very excited!

Re: New Jeep - maybe
 

Congrats! What did you end up getting? You won't regret it a Jeep is like no other vehicle :) I LOVE mine, we have a bond lol. Welcome to the club, dont forget to wave!

I got a 2011 Sahara 4 door. No leather, was gonna but didn't want the brown. So the interior is all black. Outside is the dark green and black roof. I liked the contrast of the black roof and the green instead of green on green. I went with Auto, I wanted standard but the GF can't drive stick and I really didn't want to teach her using my new baby. I can't wait to get it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on the new Jeep, welcome to the family...don't forget to wave!!

We have a 08 JKU and it's the wifes DD, yes it likes it's gas, but we make compromises to our budget (ever so slight you would be amazed when you put your mind to it) in exchange to drive the best ride out there...Jeep.

I'm sitting on the fence with my 06 Civic and when to trade in for a Jeep of my own....right now I have visitation rights on the week-end :)

There will be two Wranglers in my drive way soon...Love them, regardless of the MPG.

Get out there and drive, enjoy your new Jeep....wait til you rock the top and doors off....theres no looking back after that!

Re: New Jeep - maybe
 

What fun is that! I hate little cars so I just got rid of one. I don't see the point of owning a Jeep if its gonna sit in the driveway all week. I drive mine 119klm to work and back everyday.

Re: New Jeep - maybe
 

Very nice, I love the black tops as well. Although there wasnt a choice when I bought mine. The color matched just make em look like hummer I think. You will love the Jeep!! I have an auto, its great offroad. Mine also started out as a Sahara although most of the things that make it a sahara are now gone lol. Enjoy. Where are you from? Maybe I will see ya on the roads :)

Re: New Jeep - maybe
 

I have to agree with JTPhoto JK....in my throught process considered a 86' CJ as a 'project'...and continue to drive my civic while 'working on the project'. I drove our JK to work a few times and my 120KM commute through lovely Toronto dissapeared, in fact I took the long way home to extend the drive :)

I came to the realization I want to drive and enjoy my Jeep, life is too short anyway. So, I gave up on the search for a CJ, and continue the quest for a 2DR JK of my own, daily driven, it will go were ever I go. Ahhhhh.

Cheers!

Re: New Jeep - maybe
 

well it will be my daily driver that is for sure and im looking forward to it. After speaking with a few people they say the fuel will be more but as long as I drive have decent its not that bad. And I don't drive with my foot into it anyway.

Re: New Jeep - maybe
 

You will love it .beleive me the gas aint that bad.I've had many 4x4's and this one is the best ive had.it gets better mileage when you knock off the 4 inches of mud.lol

Re: New Jeep - maybe
 

LOL.....I know I will love it only two more days then I get it !!!!!!!!!

Re: New Jeep - maybe
 

jeeps are all about muscles, off road cruising and ruggedness in life. power too..if u like these just go for it.
