So I've had tons of friends in the jeep family, always wanted to join. So I've been looking. Found a 2010 unlimited Rubicon with 94,099 miles for 23,000. Is that a good deal or not?

So the 3.6 is the better engine. See it more in the sportsNot a lot of JK input on this TJ forum, but some. That might or might not be a good deal, but I wouldn't buy any JK prior to 2012 with the 3.8L minivan engine. It's too gutless. I've had the 3.8 and the newer 3.6. There's no comparison.

I did make the mistake once. 2012 JKUR with the new motor. After it went into limp mode the 3rd time, the dealer's mechanic told me to get rid of it.I wouldn’t buy a JK unless it was a 2012 or newer... then again, I wouldn’t buy a JK at all Almost made that mistake once.
The 3.8 engine that came in the 07-11 models is garbage.

It is not a good deal. But again it depends on how you want to use your rig. 3.8 vs. 3.6 engine is very different.So I've had tons of friends in the jeep family, always wanted to join. So I've been looking. Found a 2010 unlimited Rubicon with 94,099 miles for 23,000. Is that a good deal or not?
That's exactly what drew me back to a TJ/LJ. Simplicity, capability, relatively young (compared to Toyota 80 series) combined with some modern safety and convenience features.You made the right choice. I can't say I hate them entirely, since they're still Wranglers. However, I prefer the ability to wrench on my own Jeep without having to rely on a ton of diagnostic machines, equipment, and other electronic b.s.
I've owned or extensively driven both and while I dont see as big of a difference as others suggest, there is one. Agreed that the one the OP posted is not a great deal, I would keep looking, but would not rule out a pre-2012.It is not a good deal.

Truth!Not a lot of JK input on this TJ forum, but some. That might or might not be a good deal, but I wouldn't buy any JK prior to 2012 with the 3.8L minivan engine. It's too gutless. I've had the 3.8 and the newer 3.6. There's no comparison.
