Sons’s first Jeep

A very good looking Jeep. Already raised, with 5 custom wheels and tires. Runs good and was priced fairly. My son is beside himself with joy.

Safe, Reliable and FUN!

Great for off-roading! We have had very little issues with this car and even have a lift kit, huge tires, and tons of modifications! I highly recommend this to anyone!

Shake rattle roll

It’s a tight fit inside. The doors are up against you and no comfortable Arm rest like most cars. And no arm rest on the right side. Since doors and roof come off, design is different from other cars. It can violently shake when 60+ mph and hit potholes or bumps. Google calls it a death wobble. You feel like you are dying. It’s a steering dampener. It helps but when it happens—it’s scary. It’s a bit louder and rougher ride than sedans. It’s 4 wheel drive. It’s high off the ground. I’m 5’1” and struggle to climb into the seats. It has running boards but still it’s high off the ground. We got 20-22 mpg on highway using cruise at 70. Not great. Don’t know city mpg yet. If you are taller and want a vehicle to go anywhere, this might be a good car. If you want a cushy comfortable cruising car, no way.

One of a kind

I have driven and beat a lot of vehicles over last 40 years. The wrangler has been the most amazing vehicle. My next vehicle will be a Ram truck

Sad to sell.

I love this Jeep. You will not find a wrangler in better condition for the price. Kept records of all auto work done to it.

The Most Versatile Vehicle I’ve ever driven!

After driving this Jeep, you wouldn’t want to drive a sedan ever again. The Jeep is easily one of the most popular and exciting vehicles to drive given that it can be driven in multiple environments.

Very fun vehicle to own.

This Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has been one of the most fun vehicles I have owned. However I needed something better for long distance travels. A must for fun weekends with the top down!!

Jeeps are great cars

Jeeps are incredibly comfortable and rugged. They are dependable and easy to work on for mechanics. Hardly ever costs any money. Keep up on the oil changes and fluid checks and a Jeep will serve you well for years.

Great off-road car

I use this car for driving in the mountains and going skiing. It is reliable and easy to drive. It is surprisingly useful in town for hauling family and groceries.
