Just FYI, Jeeps built after roughly 2000-2010 are terribly unreliable and can turn into serious money pits. Unless you're looking at older Jeeps, I'd stay away, especially if buying new and plan on keeping it.
Brother just spent serious money on a transmission in a Jeep with 100k. Estimates ranged from $8000 - $13,000 to "repair" which really means replace. Unless you constantly off road or need it for winter driving, a Jeep would be bottom of my list.
Buddy just spent serious money fixing his wife's jeeps transmission also. Funny coincidence.
They have several known bad transmission series. Known to fail as early as 60k miles.
Good info, and pathetic they're that bad.
I'll look into a Bronco.
There are 2 types of vehicle wearing the name of Bronco...
The Bronco, and the Bronco Sport.
Do not be fooled by naming, these are not the same vehicle at all. They are completely different cars in fact. The Bronco, being a decent offroad vehicle, the sport, being family commuter garbage.
Thanks for that.
Watch for an idea on older jeep prices when reasonably maintained. And this one has some rust issues, It just popped up and made me think about this thread.
