I now have... 5 vehicles. 1 truck, 1 sports car, and 3 SUV's. Picked this new one up for $11K. It's worth an easy $40k+. Still runs fine but needs some intensive engine work I am completely capable of. Gonna sell the other two SUVs to pay for this one.

Super stoked. I've been wanting this particular model for a long time but it has been cost prohibitive until this deal fell in my lap. It's in fantastic like new condition minus the work I need to do. Also is modded with quality off roading gear up the wazoo.

Been detailing the interior today. Took me about 3-4hours to vacuum up all the fucking dog hair.

It's a good day! 👍

Fine. It's a newer Jeep Wrangler. One of the better years. I have never bought a new car. Always wait it out and figure out what years have issues. The engine problem I need to fix is common but it's one of the only issues these ones have. It's a big job to fix but once your done the engine is better than factory. The cylinder head bolt threads pull out of the aluminum block on the 3.6L. Replace all 16 of them with steel Time-Sert thread inserts and you're golden.

Nice, like them or not people want them.

I like how different they are from everything else. If you ever drive one or have it's a definite "Woah! This is weird, I like it!". For me at least.

Wheels are more at the corners than anything else which creates a crazy sliding(?) sensation when turning at low speed. Super good turning radius, not so great freeway, oh well. Meant for the trails and to be street able. I'm happy.

Edit: Not a fan of the older Jeeps though. Those drive like absolute trash. JK generation is tits if you get the right years.

Fix the engine by putting a OM606 diesel or similar, and run that thing on veg oils.

That's a lot of money.

Edit: And I'm in Commiefornia. That wouldn't fly. Would have to bribe a shady smog tech every 2 years.

Do you own your things , or do they own you ?

All I'm doing to pay for it is selling my daily after making it presentable. And selling another I bought not long ago for the purpose of flipping. I've never been in debt other than right now and a couple ER bills. It's a good friend who lent me the money, not some bank. I think I'm doing pretty alright in regards to what you bring up.

However it's going to be interesting whenever I try to buy a house because I have zero credit. My plan is to establish a relationship with a local bank/credit union wherever I decide I want to buy and have them make a personal assessment that disregards all the big BS credit institutions. There is a term for the type of assessment that escapes me.

Edit: Manual Underwriting. That's the term.

Nah. I diagnosed it. Should be fine. If all goes well it should cost me about $500 in parts.
