Well, it's his money, so we should let him spend it the way he sees fit. However, you might point out that the Wrangler, even during these times of high gas prices, continues to command a high resale value. That would seem to bely his anecdotal testimony that they spend their time in the shop (or at least it offers a counter-argument that the fun-factor easily offsets the inconvenience of occasional repairs). Here's a typical article from August 2008 ...
Top 10 Vehicles with Highest Resale Value (Forbes article at MSNBC)
Wrangler was number 4, and all of the other vehicles are really in a much different class.
Oh, and if he's serious about off-road (since he mentioned it, I assume this is the case), then you might also refer him to a couple websites--he can pick them--one selling Hummer parts and another selling Jeep parts. It won't take a reasonable person more than a minute or two to figure out which vehicle has the increased attention of the after-market manufacturers for mall crawling, and which is the true, off-road vehicle.
