One thing to remember is a Wrangler is highly prized for its modification allowing for each owner to instill their own sense of individualism on them. In other words, you may find yourself voiding any warranty when you start adding modifications like lifts or other drivetrain upgrades down the road. I'm actually approaching the end of my 2005's factory warranty expiration and strangly, looking forward to its end so I can begin my modifications that would have voided the original warranty. Extended warranty likely makes sense on other vehicles but Wranglers exist to be modified so you might want to reconsider...though, seeing your post was in Nov. it may be too late..in which case, you might want to have modifications done using Mopar parts put on by the dealer to ensure it doesn't risk voiding your lifetime warranty. Good luck and let us know how you like your new Wrangler when you get it!

I really could not agree with you more! As a present Mustang owner (highly modified one too) and a past Wrangler owner, I can relate.
 
What always strikes me as funny though are the people that lease these things and then want to modify them.

Not even a hint of a waste of money in my case.
 
If it is for you fine, whats that got to do with what these things cost?

Auto makes sense for both off-roading and commuting. Stalling on a 30% icy slope can really ruin your day.

How about $825 (plus tax) ???? Auto eats more gas AND once you learn to drive stick it BECOMES AUTOMATIC. DUH ! Not to mention it's 400% more fun to drive stick.

Auto eats more gas
 
Oh, I don't know about that. The 2008 Wrangler 3.8L EPA on the window sticker lists 15 mpg city and 19 mpg highway for both the 6-speed manual and the 4-speed auto. I remember my previous vehicle was actually rated 2 mpg higher with the auto than the 5-speed I owned.
 
I will say that on certain vehicles a manual is more fun to drive than an auto. I don't think it would be very practical on something like a 300C.

The relative merits of auto vs. manual can be discussed elsewhere...
