buying new Jeep - help !!?
 

I am shopping around.. have done some homework and know the basic
differences between a Rubicon.. and the new Willy's few questions.

- what are differences between the X,sport,sierra and then rubicon ? I know
axels, gearing, some features but is that about it ? Engines are all the
same 6cyl

- I can get a yellow rubicon for $28.4k a Willy's for $22,2k and a Tomb
Raider '03 for $29.5k What do you think of these prices ?

- I am leaning towards a rubicon.. what are some of the features that would
make one $23k vs.$28k ?

unfortunately I wasn't given any brochures on the Rubicon so I'd know the
difference. maybe I'll check the Jeep site now..

thx
dave

****This is how I see it...
The X is essentially a base model with a 4.0.
The Sport is a step up with full hard doors, trim features, better value
option packages.
The Sahara is more or less a top of the line Sport... all the bells and
whistles.
The Rubicon is built for more serious off-roading - lockers etc.
The Tomb Raider is to the Rubi as the Sahara is to the Sport.

Or you could save 20k to 25k and buy a use CJ in great shape. Pay less
license taxes too.

then you can accessorize and build your own.
