I previously owned a 93 YJ and short wheelbase 05 TJ. I enjoyed the 2 door's maneuverability and turning radius, with the doors off you could squeeze through crazy thin spaces.

When I went to get my 2013 I went for the Unlimited 4 door, primarily over storage space. I miss the crazy turn rate of the 2 door but i have so much more room in the 4 door. Larger people can readily get in the back doors, as opposed to having to bend over and crawl in through the passenger side. I recently went and had 4 propane tanks filled, something that would never fit safely in my old 2 doors.

Ladies really didn't like crawling in the back of my 2 door, as much as I enjoyed watching them get in

2dr is more "real" Jeep even though 4dr have many advantages, too.
Mine is 2 dr.

Is 15500 a good price for a 2007 Sahara four door with hard top upgraded tires and stero and 130000 miles?

I wanted a 2dr and at the last minute my wife decided we would be better off getting a 4dr (I was just happy to finally get a wranger so I did not protest) now after 5000 miles and 3months I wish I would have went with my heart and got the 2dr. Now I love my 4dr don't get me wrong but every time I see a 2dr I think that is what I should have went with.

Default 2 door VS 4 door

This is my 5th Jeep. I originally looked at a 2 door. Fortunately, I decided to also look at the 4 door. I am SO GLAD I got the 4 door. it is so much easier to get in and out of the back seat. I can actually invite people along without a big production of getting in and out. AND there is so much more room for gear and "stuff"! I do notice a difference while wheeling, but I can live with it. I also notice a difference while cruising down the highway as the longer wheelbase is more stable.

I own a 2-dr. If I could do it over, I would get the four door. There is so muck more room, and it is much easier to bring friends along. I thought the 2-dr would be much better on the trail. But, I was wrong. The four door is just a capable and the longer wheel base is nice on steep climbs.

High mileage for the price... depends on the upgrades too but personally I don't mess with anything at that many miles... it's got plenty of life it's one owner and he took good care of it otherwise it may be on it's way out.
