Great analogy. Now quit being a hoser ya duster.
They aren't that far apart in value, especially half the value like in your stunning example (half the doors, not half the value), and I never said I wanted one exactly like mine.
I am not holding a gun to anyone's head here, if someone wants to entertain it, then fine, if not, I still have a 2012 Rubi.

It's not as crazy an idea as you think. I'm trading my stock 12 Sahara Unlimited, 9400 miles, Black Forest Green, Max Tow, 6 speed, and Leather, for my daughter's 12 2dr Rubi,Dozer, 6000 miles, 6 speed, 3 inch lift, 35's, Poisen Spyder front-rear (with tire carrier), and PS Rocker Knockers.
Both are 2nd or third vehicles for each of us, hence the low mileage.
Of course this is just a temp-trade, as she is having a child in six weeks, and a 2 door is impractical for her right now. I keep telling her it will only be for about two years, but she's telling me it won't be that long. We'll see.
The only drawback to your package , (for me), is the Auto and I'd be the 3rd owner.
I like the looks of and the driving characteristics of the 2 door more than the 4, but occassionally I need to tow something.

It may be a stretch but it's like getting laid ,you're not looking for the 99 that say no ---------- you're looking for the 1 that says yes. I've been involved in more whacked out lopsided trades with me on the good end than you would ever believe.
So while everyone else is flaming you , good luck. You never know what other peoples intentions or motivations are !!

It would be cheaper for someone to do this than to go to a dealership and do it as well. I have made much more crazier trades in my lifetime.
I am not worried about these little boys puffing their chests behind a computer screen. They just need to get some real world experience. Ignorance is bliss.
