  1. Leaking axle seal?

    Hey all, I also had this issue, just picked the truck back up from service after 2 weeks. My leak was fairly bad, it was running down the tire when stopped and slinging all over the fender liner when driving. They replaced the axle, same as everyone here. I have two questions as all this is new...
  2. Jeep Gladiator April 2019 Sales Report

    Gladiators have already arrived and been purchased by several people over the last week or two. Just check the forums.
  3. Jeep Gladiator April 2019 Sales Report

    It's delivered/built. Can't sell a car until it can exchange hands.
  4. Dealers to avoid - Charging over MSRP

    Ya'll realize that those chats are outsourced right? No one at the dealership sees those messages. It's an outsourced chat agency, probably low price in India or the Philippines. If you actually want to annoy the dealership, you'll have to go inside, email, or call directly.
  5. Interesting Deal

    Wow, they must be getting desperate to sell all those old 2018s on the lot.
  6. Looks like a lease on a Gladiator will be $143/mo

    This is a two year lease. 3504/24 = $146 per month. That's a $289 per month lease that you paid half of at the beginning. Still a decent deal, but they certainly cherry picked the numbers to get you excited.
  7. Get ready to get reamed....

    Casually using the word rape in a post title is gay.
  8. TODO: Request Better MT Towing Capacity From Jeep

    I don't want to bust any bubbles, but a lot of development costs that go into a vehicle involve certifications, weight ratings, towing tests, etc. If jeep could have easily squeezed out any more towing performance out of the manual, they would have done it in a second. There was an article...
  9. Love the Gladiator but just too Expensive

    Why are ya'll looking at the 60k version? I could afford any version I want but I'm only buying the base sport model with one or two options (35k). You're looking at Rubicons with all the options you want and of course it's very expensive. You should set a car buying budget first and then see...
  10. So at the end of the day why the Gladiator? Pickup is better

    Actually, removable top and doors are objective, not subjective. Objectively, you can remove them. Now, while emotional appeal and desire of a vehicle are subjective, the fact that they exist is objective. One can even argue that emotional appeal is the only thing that matters when it comes to...
  11. What would be (or is) your favorite "edition?"

    I would love to see a half door soft top Willy's edition. The price would be the same as the base Sport S, and would have the same features as the base Sport S except for black wheels, M/T tires, and a limited slip.
  12. Who's going to buy a Sport S now, then a Rubicon in 2 years?

    I have two kids, aged 12 and 13. In fact, it was them that made me more financially responsible. I used to not really care what the future looks like. I never want to put the burden on my kids to take care of me.
  13. Who's going to buy a Sport S now, then a Rubicon in 2 years?

    It's not a joke, you just don't like the reality of the options presented at that price level. For $16,500, there are plenty of cheap, reliable transportation options, and that's brand new. Extending to lightly used or CPO yields hundreds of choices. Like I said before, it's your money, spend it...
  14. Who's going to buy a Sport S now, then a Rubicon in 2 years?

    I forget where I originally heard considering a vehicle versus annual salary vs monthly income. Possibly something from Dave Ramsey, or somewhere else. However, I think it makes sense. It's very difficult to purchase a home outright. Homes also usually appreciate in value. Vehicles are...
  15. Who's going to buy a Sport S now, then a Rubicon in 2 years?

    I don't own a home, it doesn't make financial sense in the city. I rent a two bedroom for 15% of my monthly take home after taxes. As was said above, most home calculators suggest staying under 30%, but to me, spending 1/3 of your income on a mortgage would make it very difficult to continue...
  16. Who's going to buy a Sport S now, then a Rubicon in 2 years?

    Guys (and girls), look... If you want to spend your money on something that is really important to you, far be it for me to argue against that. However, if you're going to look for financial justification, there is none. Here are some important financial facts for you to remember. 1. Any time...
  17. how dealers can sell below invoice price

    There is a little more to pricing than the above, as well. A simple understanding of the process is that a car dealership buys a vehicle from the manufacturer for X dollars (invoice). We can extrapolate that buying in bulk gives a discount (X - discount) and that the manufacturer gives...
