I should have checked with others too. After trading in my 2021 Bronco and a down payment of 10k purchased a service contract and an extended warranty on my 2024 New JT Mojave, I actually only financed around 15k for 36 months. Might explain my rate as well.
I wonder if it depends on where you live, USAA has been the lowest rate for me, by far, on my last three vehicle purchases.
Interesting and thank you for the detailed imput! Im set to pick it up tomorrow.
I understand this is a common sentiment but it defeats half the purpose of me getting a jeep haha. For reference i drove a manual for 9 years and it was totaled and since then ive been longing to get back into another. Ive driven both as well and the auto is very nice i cannot deny that but despite the manual not being as refined theres just a joy in revving through gears and really being in charge of the engine I cant get otherwise. To me its that extra level of intuitivenessFirst thing is start over and don't buy a manual.
I would not buy a gladiator manual, due to the amount of issues with it. What other clutch out there causes fires? Honestly, it would be better to just go to another brand if a manual is a requirement.
Cold weather group over LED kit hands down. You can changes lights to whatever you want after the fact super easily. but its damn near impossible to add seat heaters, steering wheel heater, and remote start for the avg joe.Hey guys! New here but I need some help. Ive been scouring the markets for months now trying to find a great deal on used MANUAL Mojaves, 22 and newer. Ive finally honed in and located 2 both equally far away (5 hours) and need help choosing.
For starters, both vehicles are black mojaves in manual with full 8.4 screens and both come in trailer tow pkg and black premium/leather interiors. Nonetheless heres the breakdown:
Vehicle 1: 2022 mojave with 15k miles for $43,092 OTD including tax/title/reg. Vehicle is equiped with leather interior, tow pkg, and LED lighting kit, no warm weather package and no bed liner.
- EDIT: Forgot to mention that vehicle 1’s warrantee, despite being a 2022, did not start until January of 2023 so it still has 1.5 years and 15k miles left on it.
Vehicle 2: 2023 mojave with 24k miles for $41,200 OTD including tax/title/reg equipped with cold weather group, leather interior, tow pkg, bedliner but no LED kit.
Both vehicles I can 100% get at a 6.5% interest rate but vehicle 2 thinks they can beat that once they get their quotes back.
So the trade off becomes $2,000 difference and I can get all the goodies minus LED lighting which is fine because I wouldnt mind putting aftermarket but on the flipside it has more miles. OR I can skip the cold weather and bed liner for lower mileage all together
What would you do? Both offers are in writing and a refundable deposit is in on one.
Ignore him. Just get an ACT clutch if the stock one starts going to shit. An ACT manual Glady is super fun to drive and quite capable.
Yeah, NavyFed beat USAA by 2% when I bought my JTM
Forgive me for my ignorance but what about the ACT clutch is better? The stock one Ill admit is a little soft but the thought of an aftermarket one has crossed my mind but not enough to do any deep dive
I ended up with the non cold weather group solely due to the mileage and they came down another 2k and came in at a lower rate that no one else came close to so all in all it worked out and im more than happy.
Rated for more torque, better feel, higher load capacity, a lot more durable. Tbh I read any of the numerous topics on this forum from guys who have swapped. I only have the driving comparisons between the two. However that’s enough for me to know it’s a night and day difference.
