Went to dealer 5 days ago. Looks like I can get a properly equipped Grand Cherokee limited for $42,000. A properly equipped MOAB edition Wrangler unlimited for $44,000. The FJ, seems like a better value... But I rather own a jeep. I think parts would be much easier to come by. I might look into getting one of the older chassis's like you mentioned? We'll see.

If you go new jeep I'd skip the Moab unless you want the look-pretty goodies. You can get a rubicon unlimited for 36 ish, and a sport for 32ish with no issue. The upstream jeeps are rarely a good deal. You can build a sport into a rubicon for less than the price delta. That said, the rubicons do hold value well when it comes time to sell In my mind, the newer jeeps are worthwhile if offroading is not a priority and using the vehicle as an SUV is a regular occurrence. If you go that route, I'd go unlimited with a hard top. |

Resale here is so high on them that it seems better to go new. I should probably go back home to get a good deal on jeeps'. Back home or PA, NJ, and new england. You get better deals on vehicles like this. The midsouth is a rip-off. It's like, drive new or get raped...

While the Jeep Cherokee is NOT what I'm looking at. I think it's going to be a good value for a trail-rated vehicle by comparison. I guess I look at this vehicle like the glass half full vs half empty. lol

I own a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with the same interior posted in the last page. It is (without including the Z) my favorite vehicle I've ever owned. Love love love when it snows and love taking it off road. With the Quadra-Lift system, it's a real show off being able to raise and lower the truck with a push of a button.
It has great power, great looks (I don't like the 14 personally) and the interior is amazing. The sheep leather is soft, smells amazing and looks great! Took it out the last big snow fall. Drove by an H2 that was stuck without an issue and lots of other "SUVs" who thought they could handle the snow. I tried to get it stuck, drove through drifts and any high points of snow I could and I couldn't get it stuck. Extremely happy with my jeep and would buy it again tomorrow.
