Hey all,
A dealer in town has a used 2012 JK with 9400 miles on it..its a 2 door sport s and its got all the goodies including the connectivity group..so its loaded. I test drove it and it felt fine. I used to own an 08 JK, so im used to how they are. I was told that this was the dealers loaner car for when customers dropped theirs off, and they used this for the day. they are asking 21,995. I noticed a small crack on top the tailgate door..looks like someone dropped something heavy on it and the paint is cracked like a 3 inch mark. I asked if they would fix it and the jerk said 'not for that price were selling it!' but then later said ok when i told him I would never buy a car with a potential rusting area right in sight.

anyway, Ive been reading all the posts about the ticking engine noise and how its a hit or miss with their replacing of the head, and it might be holding me back a little because what if it happens after the warranty how much does it cost to fix type of worries. This is the perfect jeep that has everything I want in it and sill under bumper to bumper warranty.

What do you think for that price? thoughts on 2012 JK? or any other advice is appreciated.

I found this forum to be very helpful..I dont even own a jeep yet but I read a lot of the posts and learn. Thanks for all great advice.

I paid $32 for my loaded Sahara unlimited12k miles with navigation, electric doors and remote start hard top, no issues or paint chips

 

2013 JKs are starting at @ $19,999 with O miles right now up here. Not sure where you as I'm on my mobile but keep looking. Looks outside of your town as well.

 

Are they all 2wd without roofs or doors?!?

 

The tick is covered to 100K drive train warranty. I wouldn't worry about that. Yes there are some tick issues, but that percentage is low and it is covered under warranty.

 

Canadian dollars.

 

That's probably not a bad price as long as they fix what's wrong with it but around here a 2013 2 door sport s will run you around 25,000. Just depends on your budget.

 

2013's are starting at 17999 here for a two door sport.

 

Save, beg, borrow or steal. For that much $$ BUY NEW.

My '12 (see window sticker) (albeit with manual windows and 130 radio) ran me $25k.

 

I am willing to bet that they are including any rebates in their areas.

For the OP, I would buy new or not at all. If they are asking that much for a loaner that is ridiculous. Who knows how well the borrowers treated it, and the warranty is only going to last for 3 months. I would buy a new sport and get a lifetime warranty; it would be a much better investment IMHO.
