About to be a noob, need advice!
Hi All,
I'm shopping around for a jk unlimited and came across this one - https://www.chernerbrothers.com/inventory/used-2008-jeep-wrangler-unlimited-x-4wd-convertible-1j4ga39128l526739
only reason I'm hesitant is because I've heard the 3.8 engines dont last as long as the 3.6 and have oil consumption issues. Any insight on that?
I'm also more leaning towards this one - http://lafcars.com/mobile/VehicleDetail.aspx?InventoryId=11292229&Guid=10401 d64-3172-4906-b322-732845
I know it has been in an accident and repaired but it looks like a great value. Opinions are appreciated!

Both my 3.8 burned oil. Not sure about longevity but my jku has 190, 000 miles on it with no engine issues. It is gutless though even with the 6 speed. The 3.6 has more power and the newer interior is nicer in my opinion.
