Haaaaaaaa perfect
Lol in all seriousness, these trucks are AWESOME.

I’ve owned a lot of vehicles for a 26 year old and this one is by far the best. I’ll have it until I die most likely…

Past vehicles: 2001 Acura TL, 2005 Silverado 1500, 2007 Acura RDX, 2009 Acura MDX (a Tank), 2018 Ram 1500, 2018 Corolla (EW!!), 2018 Dodge Charger RT. Nothing beats these Gladiators, nothing. And every trim is badass.

Good thing is your not done spending, add another $10,000 to $20,000 for aftermarket mods, lift, tires, wheels, bumpers,.etc.... after you remove about $7,000 worth of stuff off your JT that you already paid for only to get about $1,000 of that back when you try to sell it. Don't get so worked up, spending money on jeeps is what's it's about. That's why jeep stands for, Just Empty Every Pocket!!!

But your gonna have a blast as soon as you take those doors and tops off, you'll forget about the money and remember it's all about the experience that you can't get in most other vehicles.

This past year I’ve seen 2 friends under 40 healthy as can be lost to cancer they knew nothing about until stage 4. This year another healthy 50 year old in stage 4.

Long story short, life is short and sometimes even shorter for others. My jeep is expensive and overpriced for what it’s worth. And I love it.

I very rarely see daily drivers older than 2000 model year in this area thanks to our ridiculous "safety" inspection system and road salt. About half of the ones I do see are Wranglers/CJs. There are a ton of people who modify these and keep them until they get totaled. The people that don't, sell them to someone who will. It keeps the resale value nice and high. I bought my '03 TJ in '09 for $13,500. Sold it a few months ago for $8500, lol. You will either love it and keep if forever or sell it at some point for a much better depreciation value than pretty much anything else.

Yep, it's just money, you can't take it with you when you die so might as spend it up while your here. If you need to leave something for the family, that's what life insurance is for.

If you’re thinking you could have bought another mid-size pickup & paid less money, that is certainly true. And you would be driving a ‘lesser’ vehicle and regretting every minute of it. Buy what you want while you can.

Honestly - not to also be a dark cloud... but thus the reason I pulled the trigger --- too many lately too soon - a college team mate (from 100 years ago..hahha) just called me this am to bring up the same thing... it is all too short

HAHAHHA - exactly what I needed to hear...

You only live once!
I don't know where you bought yours, but based on prices in the Boston area I am drawing comfort from the fact that if I don't like it I can most likely sell it to CarMax for a profit if I dont' like it. ha.

Just think of the first time you take off the top or throw back the soft top on a great weather day.
You, like all of us, will own the coolest convertible on Earth. That feeling is worth any buyers remorse.

2020 Granite JTLE Ordered, switched to the dark(er) side: Black JTLE
Search for the old Launch Edition delivery threads for some real pain from wait times—especially when dealer orders started showing up on lots and our vehicles we’re still waiting on paint.

Just got the window sticker for my WIllys. 47k truck for 400/mo for 36 months 12k/yr with sales tax due at signing. Jeep MSRPs may be expensive, but I think the lease price is reasonable.

I love that - nervous about the miles!
