[QUOTE="Duster, post: 448510, member: 20812"] It is kind of hard to pin these issues down. Price and mileage tend to correlate inversely. Other things enter the picture such as just what you plan to do with it. My own bottom line wish was for a manual shift. Where I live they are thin on the ground. When my 2015 Rubicon was T-boned, there was only one manual within 100 miles. It was only available because the dealer had "lost" it in their back lot, so I replaced my 2015 for a 2016 Rubicon Hard Rock, with almost exactly the same low mileage. I got really lucky. I prefer the Rubi's because they come with Dana 44's fore and aft. A basic Sport model is far less expensive, but the Dana 30 in front is a little more vulnerable to bumping around. If you are [I]not[/I] planning on rock crawling, or screaming down unmaintained dirt roads at high speeds, the 30 is fine. [/QUOTE]
