The decision will be dependant on reliability over the next 18 months and what new cars are released between now and then

why buy a city car when you already have a car ? even though it is a 4x4 , and new lets look at the real side of that , firstly , buy new drive it out and lose money in value , then each and every year the market value will drop , mmmmm where if you like a car , and has been LOOKED after well ,
there is a funny thing between mecs saying : there is no reason a car should wear out , if the thing has been serviced well and looked after well. the only thing to think about is , PARTS , the older the car , the harder to get parts , but that doesn't seem to fall onto a jeep , except if you live where I live where everything is hard to get
I don't live by the jones effect.

I usually get bored of a car in around 8 months and stop planning or doing stuff to it.
I am going to keep the JK for quite a long time (until I need something larger)

I've had mine for 2.5 years and planning to NEVER sell it. There simply isn't anything quite like it out there to compete with.

It's on the cards right now.

6 Speed Auto and LS Conversion (so much cheaper than the HEMI alternative)

But.... I may need something with 4 doors in the future.

I've had the Grand for 6 years and 110,000k's and given the tens of thousands of dollars spent on it and the fact that i just fitted a draw system (another $3,000) and the GVM Upgrade ($1,100 ) i don't think it will be going anywhere in a hurry.

Plus i haven't seen anything else that's better!!!!!

The xj limited that I placed for sale on here :- 16 years been doing a bit of work on it lately & think I might keep it the devil I know, plenty of 2nd hand spares available these days.
