I mean, do you like it? Life is to short to keep a car you don't like just because it's cheap.

If the delta is big enough you might just buy and resell. I'm vaguely curious about owning a Jeep, but not curious enough to test drive a Jeep, so I can't really help.

i really like it.

it's a gigantic box on wheels. it's the closest thing you can get to a reliable Defender 90 kind of vehicle.

i'd test drive the 2018 to checkout the turbo 4 and the diesel options, but maybe i'll sit and hold.

The Sahara is something I could see having at a second home as the country/beach/lake mobile.

the JK does not get driven much off-winter. Yes.

it's gotten to the point where I don't even mind it on the highway. it has a huge fuel tank.

There is an ever growing contingent of middle aged women in my neighborhood driving Jeeps as their primary vehicles.

Ditto. And outfitted with all the off road bolt-ons. I guess that's so when they inevitably end up in the ditch, mowing down saplings, they won't scratch the fancy aftermarket paint job.

Meh. A bunch of the women here regularly go off roading. It's not lupinsea type off roading, but it's something.
