My Jeep's an '08 Unlimited X and I've done a lot of work to her, and I've just recently moved to Austin an have to adjust for city driving. My rig has been beefed up a lot, but it's got a lot of miles from commuting to work, an that caused a lot of problems, mechanically and financially for me...

My question is, should I trade her in and bite the bullet for a new 2013 Unlimited Rubicon? I would get at least $20,000 for a trade in, $500 military discount, and about a $2000-2500 down payment. Is it worth it?

I'd be getting the Rubi to make up for all the off road mods I did to the '08, and lay a good base to future mods that I have planned by learning my mistakes from the '08's. Also it'd save me a lot of gas an mechanical problems, as I get about 13mpg in city and 15 on the highway, and I'd be taking a bunch of stuff off that I'd put on the '13 that I don't wanna sell to a crappy dealership...

Need good opinions on this, cuz it's been bugging me nonstop for a month now...

 

Sounds like youve already made up your mind but just need the extra push, or approval....
GO FOR IT!!! you will not regret it. I bought a '12 and traded my old unlimited. Definitely go for it.

 

This is what I'd be going for, just haven't added everything up yet...

 

Well "I" kinda have, I mean, it'd be a way better jeep than what I have, what I need is some justification as well, GF thinks I want one just cuz she got a brand new 2012 Nissan...

 

You'll have the piece of mind knowing that you gave a brand new vehicle with full warranty and way more powerful than your old one. The extra side airbags are a good reason too. Practically zero miles. Youve done your homework, you know what you want, and will be happy with it. What more justification do you need?

 

Go for it, you'll really be surprised with the 3.6 motor

 

Bump for pics of the 2013 Billet Silver if anyone's got em...

 

go for it!!

thanks for serving brother!

Sommer is the man - get yourself a new 2013 Rubi.
