Default 2012 artic jeep

Hey guys, was looking at the above jeep today and wanted to get some opinions. Found this at a dealer for $24.,500 with only 17k miles. I don't care for the artic edition, just want a nice clean jeep. Biggest neg is the blue color to me. It drives like new and doesn't have a single scratch on it. So what do you all think? Are they hard to resale as the color is quite unique? Would I be getting a great deal at that price?

Rare colors are often better, as there are people who want them. I personally love the arctic in blue, and would've easily paid 24k with that mileage. But it's all about preference. Good luck.

its just your standard matching hard top jeep. I like to have fun with them off-road. My concern, as I had never seen one in person before, do they belong at the mall or or are they more likely to be having fun off-road on the weekends with a bunch of crazy friends?

it's basically a Sahara. Depends on what you mean by capable. It belongs off road if you take it off road. Better stock and off-road than jacked up at Olive Garden.

Not questioning the capabilities, my first impression was okay, a baby blue jeep because I didn't know anything about the Arctic. It's growing on me however. I just don't want a pretty jeep that knows how to get to the mall. I don't care for matching tops either so would just put a soft top on it.

It'll get you more than to the mall...mines an Altitude but I was wary about blue until everyone I come across has complimented me.
