Hey Bros! Help choose a Jeep. I found a good car https://incacar.com/used/cars/jeep/w...bicon-1420461/ . What is your opinion?

If you're gonna spend $17k, surely you can find a nice JK rather than an '04 TJ.

Last year I got our Rubi for $18K, 2008 with 72K and in great shape. Value varies by options and of course, your own preferences. A 2004 is valued around $10K here in Fl.

That's an awesome 2004 TJ, but I think a newer JK would be a better option. I know the TJ's are in high demand but I've seen plenty of them in my area ranging from $8000-$10,000 range.

That price for a 2004 makes zero sense. I bought a 2014 JK Willy's edition with 54k miles for $17k. If I was to spend $17k I would insist on at least a 2012 to get the pentastar engine.

maybe if it was an LJ Rubicon with some high end mods it would be worth their asking price, but that seems super high for what you are getting. you could easily get into a nice Rubicon JK for that type of money...
