[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 459010, member: 18877"] I'm guessing that you are aiming for 2008 - 2012 for the price points you are seeing. 2007- 2011 had the 3.8 engine. It can last a long time, but it's underpowered and tends to burn oil. 2012 was the first year for the 3.6 engine and is a year we generally tell people to avoid, though if it made it this long perhaps it's fine. The one you pictured is either a 2011 or 2012 in Sahara Tan. Great color, that is pretty close to the modern Gobi everyone likes. For a second vehicle, it is going to be hard to beat half doors. You can probably tell many of us here are instantly jealous. Yes, rain may get in, but you will have an easier time finding full doors than half, and hard tops are on Craigslist and marketplace all the time. Probably full doors as well.. though I've never looked for those. [/QUOTE]
