I'd get a 4Runner if I was buying new
Or used. Or a used GX. TJs have their charm but if I was looking for something with creature comforts and also bad on gas I would get something ultra reliable.

If you are putting down $5,000 on a $60,000 car, you can’t afford a $60,000 car.
Just an FYI our boy is a Jeep tech at a Dealership.
His thought on buying a new Jeep.
DO NOT BUY ONE.
Plain and simple from someone that deals with them every day.

I love my JL 4 door diesel, but it just doesn't put the smile on my face that the my LJ does. I would try my best to have both if possible.Pretty soon, my TJ will be paid off. Woo-hoo!
But she is a 2006 and isn't getting any younger. Parts are getting harder to find - like that heater core I still haven't bothered to get installed.
So, I went to a dealer today and talked to them about a 2023 2 Door Rubicon (in blue) that I optioned out on the website.
I'm attaching the part list I had - they say it's about 3-4 months until delivery.
I haven't committed to anything yet, but I did ask a lot of questions. I also test-drove a 2 Door with the 2.0L engine and automatic transmission. Drove quite nicely!
There are so many creature-comforts that my TJ doesn't have - like bluetooth, power windows/locks, etc.
I'm going to do a deep-dive on my finances and see where I stand - I shouldn't have any problem with the payments, but it always helps to double-check. It's also a bit intimidating as it would be the first new car I've bought in my life.
I think their website said a little over $6k for the TJ in trade - but I don't have the back seat, that's in Ohio. And it needs the heater core replaced. Other than that, she runs just fine. I think I could get more selling it private party than using it as partial trade. What do you think I could get for it private party?
Anyway... Yeah, that's what's on my mind right now. lol

The TJ is a toy. always has been. in the 19 years i’ve owned mine. it’s been a DD to a toy, to a project back to a DD. now it’s a toy again.
i do not like my wife’s JK nearly as much as my TJ.
i also think a new jeepnis lot worth $60k.
My truck dont have no cup holders. My Jeep has 4!
