Very reliable car, excellent resell value
I owned one for 7 yrs, Sport in red, bought brand new in 2000, never let me down on the road. I sold it to a Indian young guy in 2007 at $9800 with 60k miles on it. I have to let it go because I need a bigger car for the kid. Still feeling sorry.
If you have no family, just go for it. Don't buy Wrangler with a lot of after market part. Most of them were abused by the aggressive owner.
