Thinking about buying a 2012/13 JK unlimited

[dhcomp]

For $30k you could drop it at a shop and do the whole wallet-job thing. Half that really. I'm not being totally serious, because I caved and got a new vehicle recently, but it does seem like it could be done. Part of my motivation was to get an easy family hauler too. K5 can't do that in a way that suits the wife.

This always seems to look good on paper.

But, doubt anyone would loan on it.

Plus, you'll still have a really nice project. You can make it reliable, but it will never require as little effort/attention/upkeep as a new ride.

I love my burb, but recently stepped my DD out of project vehicle category.

There are only so many hours in the day.....

He lives in Canada. Daily driving that in the winter means rusty ****.

Thats also what buying a boxed frame jeep means

Yeah, but it's a newer vehicle with no soul. It can be replaced.

I still say rubi. You get way more for the money. The Sahara is like let's paint the fender flares and throw in leather seats. Both of which will get destroyed if you ever decide to make it into a toy.

You could buy this

The shop my buddy works for built it for a dealership, it's been sitting for over a year they want $72,000

There was an AEV built JK like that here in Lex a year ago. Sat at the dealership for a long time for something like $55,000. Finally disappeared. I'm sure one of the horsefarms around here has a real nice little pickup on it.
