Replying to: artieandgumbo (Nov 01, 2006 11:33 am) Anyways! I drove the Wrangler and had the best experience ever... I live in NY currently, so of course i didnt take it off road. Here's the deal... I am moving to CA in Jan and seriously want to purchase a wrangler... The model i feel may be right for me is the Wrangler X, with regular tires (to get back and forth from work in CA) and not pay a large amount considering I am new such a type of vehicle. I wanted to know... is the Wrangler X, Auto, capable of going off road. I mean... i know it cant do what a Rubicon can... but im looking for something to take off road once a month with a close friend to New Mexico, Nevada and Arizona. Is this considered a good starter for Wranglers? Or is it soo incapable that I would be driving around a vehicle that looks like it can go off, but cant perform off? Any replies would be greatly appreciated in regards to plus and minus' of a X Automatic... I really want to jump in a Wrangler X Automatic by january after my move to CA.

Auto vs manual is strictly a personal choice. Neither outweighs the other, either on or off road. And if you find yourself offroading more than you thought, it's easy to upgrade your tires a little.

That's the stick. The carrot is to make the sale as easy as possible. Be ready with a deposit, be realistic with your trade if you have one, and make sure your finances are in order. The main problem you have at the moment is that most dealers are limited to the number of orders they can place, and they may well be maxed out with every order spoken for. You may have to wait for supply to increase and demand to drop to get the price you want. |

I sent e-mail requests to the 6 dealers in Southern California listed in the LA Times and the 3 Jeep dealers in Hawaii. Every quote I received back has been for MSRP - nothing close to invoice. As you might guess, the tone of the e-mails has been "this is a bargain"...ugh. I was looking for a blue Unlimited Sahara in automatic transmission. We had bid on the Green one on E-bay that was a charitable auction for the Tony Hawk Foundation. MSRP was $36K (it was fully loaded) and it sold for $33K. After getting all of these quotes, we realize we should have tried harder to get that car since 100% would have gone to chartity and they would have shipped it to Hawaii for free. Oh well, maybe I'll win the one on Miami Ink
