[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 443140, member: 19161"] So, let's say you decide to invest in a new motor- around $4k. Toss in the labor and you're looking at another $2k maybe? How much are you going to spend on a vehicle to replace your Jeep? If it's more than $6-7k, then I'd say you've answered your own question. A new engine means driving your Jeep for another 10 years or so, meaning that engine cost about $600-700 a year. I'm not trying to be a smart-ass or anything, but the used car market right now is ridiculous and I wouldn't recommend anyone buying a vehicle right now, especially something as popular as a Jeep. I haven't paid much attention, but I'll go out on a limb and say that you'll pay 25-30%, maybe more, than the same vehicle would have fetched a year ago. See this? [ATTACH type="full"]120176[/ATTACH] I have a 2014 JKU Sahara w/16k more miles than this. Lifted 2.5" with 35x12.5 brand new tires and shocks, and a lot of creature comforts and goodies. This dealer is relaltively close to me. I paid $35k for mine 5.5 years ago. A year ago this JKU was probably selling for $25k (high end) in very good condition. [/QUOTE]
