I have a n08 rubicon 4 dr with 117,000 miles. life time factory warranty got new trans new front drive shaft new brakes trans cooler new radiator.. still owe 3200 on it.
or by a 2012 rubicon with 92 k on it get a 2 year extended warranty for 25K

so what would you do?
there is no 3rd choice

 

Stick with the 08 w lifetime warranty, pay it off. THEN buy yourself one with a 3.6......one daily driver, one for the trails. I hope you haven't been paying off your 08 for 7 years now.....

 

____ it does happen we got hit with a bunch

 

There is no way I would buy one with that high of mileage. There's no value in that just because it's a rubi.

 

I personally would pay off the one you have and enjoy it.
I would not trade 1 JK for another unless it was to reduce debt.
I tend to keep vehicles for long time, only way they make sense to me is to pay them off ASAP and drive "debt free" for as long as possible.
I had my XJ for 17 years, still have my '92 Mustang... 23 years now.

 

Wise men like this are very hard to find. Or, as I once heard someone say, "Common sense is very uncommon." ;-)

 

Very well put and totally agree!!!
All my toys I purchase, pay off and keep for a long time.
Our camper is a 76 and looks brand new.
My Camaro is a 96
My boat an 88
As long as you don't tear the shit out of stuff it will last but I think that's the problem
People tend to tear stuff up but that's another discussion

 

The fact that you have a lifetime warranty should make the decision for you. That warranty won't transfer, only one profits from that then is Jeep. Both my 2012's have had problems right after the warranty ran out. Wish I could have had the Lifetime on at least one of mine, the other has HVAC issues and I'm going to sell it instead of fixing the expensive issues.

 

and that is exactly what I am going to do.
