if funds are limited and this really is going to be your last vehicle I would not buy a Chrysler product. I would be buy something a little more comfortable and with a little better mpg. Probably a Lexus or Honda. I just bought my 4th wrangler a 2018 Rubicon Recon but if it was going to have to be something I thought of as being my last vehicle I would get something different.

 

manual with power package.... BUT there is more to this question:
what gear ratio? What else does it have, what do you want to do with the jeep?

- my story -
Bought a bare bones 2012 brand new. It was hard top (wanted that), not black or white (wife wanted that), automatic (my wife does not drive a stick), no power package (something I didn't care about at the moment - figured I'd add them at a later date) and crappy gears (3.21's - planned to upgrade those myself). Love the jeep, except I really really really wish it had power door locks. The windows I probably couldn't care less for as I live in CA and it's AC day every day but wish I could lock all the doors and or open them at a click of a button....
