Would anybody have issues with buying a 2007 Rubicon unlimited automatic with 150k miles on it?

How many high mileage jk jeeps are running around? What should I look for when I go look at it?

Give me your opinions.

Thanks,

Chris

 

I got a 2010 and we just turned 80,000 no problems but we change all fluid very often. And I did me all fluids as in axles, trans, transfer, brakes,etc.

 

Parts will fail eventually but if the price is right you could replace and have a new machine w a hemi on the cheap! Just saying lol

 

My thoughts are the same. Things will need replacing, but I won't be that upset getting scratched or dinged off roading. New Rubi's are 40k. We will drive it about 7k-10k miles a year. I figure the engine might be good to 200k, the trans may go at anytime. It must be highway miles to rack 'em up that quick.

I may go look at it this weekend.

 

150k seems like A LOT for a 3.8

 

You would need to tell us how much they want for it.

 

It depends what they want for it

 

Ask for a service history if it was taken care of properly who cares I've seen cars wth 750k still running strong just got to maintain it

 

Will all depend on the asking price, I would say if they are asking $12-15 ish then it might be worth getting serviced to have it checked out. if the are asking more then that say the 17-20 window then no.

KBB estimates the value of a 2007 Rubicon with hard top @150k miles in the 8-12 window

 

If you get it around 10-12, you can put a hemi in it for ~$6500 if you do labor yourself. Bit more expensive if you need to find a hemi and kit and have AEV or BO do it.
