used jeep quality?
I heard someone say that they've never seen a used Jeep that wasn't a
POS. Is that true? If one were buying a Jeep (Wrangler), should one
choose brand new over late model used because of reliability/defect
issues?

It is easier to tame wild beasts
than to conquer the human mind.

Re: used jeep quality?
Well, "someone" always has an opinion, so you came to the right place, the
home of opinions!
A used Jeep is like any other vehicle, if the previous owner(s) took care of
it, it will likely continue to be a good vehicle. If not, well.....
Rule of thumb, newer and lower mileage will be better than older and higher.
With short-wheelbase Jeeps, however, the buff factor comes in. Many of us
love the old CJs and will put up with anything to keep them on the road &
trail. YJ Wranglers are best after '91 (EFI engine management), TJs are
outstanding but, of course, newer and more expensive. If it was me buying
another one, I'd go for a low mileage 4.0L TJ Sport with the Dana 44 rear
axle.
