| | How uwe doo-in?!?
| Any Jeep Wranger owners?
My car died. Am thinking about a Wrangler. My budget is up to about $8,000. What I'm finding on Autotrader are early 90's models with mileage ranging from 80k and way upward.
Any words of advice either positive or negative anyone can help me with would be appreciated. Also, any hints if possible.
tks |

| try cars.com 2003 Wrangler in Texas
don't know your zipcode in Florida.
Personally, I'd go for the inline 4 liter 6.

| I've enjoyed my 09' rubicon now for close to two months. 3.8liter V6. 6 speed. 2 door. I plan on taking it down to the coast this weekend for a little sun, sand, and fun.
Im getting 18/22 mpg.

| Very nice. I have yet to strip down the back of the tri-top, but I have a feeling that'll happen this weekend. I've been meaning to upload some pics, but hadnt got around to it. Maybe I'll take advantage of the free time Saturday.
