Default Should I Trade up?

Ok so the question is should I trade my current 2012 JKU Sport for a 2013 JKU Rubicon.

So I just recently got back from a TDY in Italy where I made some pretty sweet Per diem. I have been debating on either Modding the current stock Jeep that I have, or trading in for a 2013 Rubi. If I trade in I probably won't have much money for Mods, but I will have a sweet new Rubicon. What are your thoughts.

Personally I think it would be a waste to trade. IF we were talking an 08 to 13...well yeah...but you have the pentastar and the cash you can drop into your 12 will outperform the rubi....and probably look better than a stock vehicle.

I agree with Joey, put all that sweet TDY cash towards parts.

Thats what I have been leaning more towards, is keeping the 12 and doing what I really want to it. Its so hard getting part over here in Germany though.

The only way I would trade the 12 is if you have an early model with the cylinder head issue. Even if it has been fixed.

Put the money to the side and wait till the new model comes out. Then you can trade and have a nice deposit. Just how I see it....

I though about that too. So many options and I can't really decide on which is best. Getting Warranty work here is going to be about impossible.
