I had to go re-check my math.
120k miles yr/ 5 days a week = 460 +/- miles per day........ (Unless you work 7days a week..every week) You must have callouses on your Cornhole putting that many hours a day behind the wheel of a JK. Hard to believe it's even possible to rack up those kind of miles in the Chicago area. Heck Commercial Truck drivers have a hard time "Legally" putting on that kind of mileage..
I agree with some of the others in suggesting that there are better alternatives out there than a Wrangler for that kind of use...
You must be at around 5.5% interest to have that high of a payent too.... OUCH!
So what exactly went wrong with your 2011 that they are giving you a refund? I saw you mention that something was wrong with the Stereo/Nav and that was part of why they are buying it back... seems there has to be a LOT more wrong with it to warrant a buyback..

The payment is $737.36/mo...
That's no money down, 2011 70th Edition @ $37,900 after tax, 60 months.
My company reimburses me an $800/mo car allowance, so why put any of my own money down to artificially keep the payments low? And yes, they also reimburse all of my fuel use, maintenance, car washes, etc.
I drive about 120-130k per year, so the JK force is strong with this one.
