Default 2014 Wrangler unlimited vs. 2000 XJ

I prefer to drive my XJ over the wrangler, not sure why I bought the Wrangler, it's is so heavy. I've only had the Wrangler for 48hrs and I'm selling it. Sticking with the XJ. Rather rock the 4.0 any day over the Pentastar.

The grass aint always greener, eh? Too bad you made a costly mistake, but it's cool to see that people prefer the old to the new. I drove my brother's JK a few times and there's no way I could drive one.

I was in the same situation. I could easily afford a Wrangler Unlimited but boy do they have one of the Ugliest Interiors I've ever seen. How something so FULL of bloated Plastic crap could cost so much. It just felt so CHEAP inside. I opted for a 2000XJ and it only has 90k miles on it. It looks so nice outside and inside. The Inside does have plastic, but its just better put together and a more sturdier plastic.

There is no way I buy something like that the ridiculous star on the hood would be an instant deal breaker.

That's because It's the Oscar Mike edition.
Turned it back into the dealer, Wrangler is gone.

Who the F is Oscar Mike?


Sounds like something I'd name a fish in my aquarium...

NM, just looked it up...


Wow people will try to make a buck off anything. Kinda disgusting.

Ha, agree to disagree. Nothing's changed. XJ interiors are 100 percent the cheapest plastic of the plastic with Elmer's glue as the adhesive. Super comfortable though!

Did you loose any money on the wrangler? I can't ever imagine myself making payments. I like laying cash for everything.
