[QUOTE="Vman, post: 443193, member: 22091"] I hear what you're saying about reliability by the manufacturer but few vehicles keep it's resale value like a Jeep Wrangler. When you look at the reliability ratings, what kind of stands out is that the complaints made are comfort issues, "death wobble", how it handles, "noise" (i.e being a Jeep), etc. The cost of ownership isn't significantly higher than any other vehicle, either. I think a lot of the complaints are people who just don't understand what they're buying, or just aren't mechanically inclined. Looking at purchasing sites right now a basically stock Wrangler resells for $25-$35k. I mean I can't speak for everyone else, but few vehicles I've owned have put a smile on my face like my project JK. Of course, when I first bought it, it was more like a look of terror trying to drive it 70 in a straight line on the road with the steering issues it had. The previous owner clearly didn't understand how to maintain it or fix it. Anyway, good luck in your sale. I doubt you'll have it for long with or without an engine. [/QUOTE]
