I don't know if this would apply to you but... I don't put many miles on my
vehicles. A few years ago I bought a 2 yr old loaded Suburban Silverado with
high mileage for it's year. I got a great deal due to the mileage, drove it
for three years and it turned into a low mileage vehicle. I sold it for more
than I paid for it... that was good timing as well because I bought it when
Suburbans weren't popular and sold it when every third neighbour had one.
Made out like a bandit on that deal!
If you're buying for one year you will want a desirable vehicle that will
sell in a hurry for top dollar.
4.0, 5-speed, D44 rear axle, Hard/Soft tops, AC, Sahara or Sport
A less desirable Jeep may force you take less than you want in order to sell
within your time frame... like a 4cyl. soft top with an automatic.
