Hey the Suzuki isnt a Land rover, but its a lot better than most of the Soft Roaders mentioned before. It has a low range gearbox, and a lockable diff. Better ground clearence too. Its a better choice if you need to go off road.aerodynamic wrote:

10k off? go for it man! such a great deal!trex1210 wrote:
Well now we are leaning towards the Jeep Patriot. There is a new used in my town that is $15,697. That is $10,000 cheaper than what I was willing to pay. With the extra 10k I can put it towards a small lift on the Patriot bigger tires (both winter and all season tires) and maybe some extras. plus I have 6k right now that I can put on a down payment. Personally I like the fact of not spending 25k.
This is what the interior looks like

and this is the exterior with a small lift and bigger tires.

I was surprised when the salesman told me to test drive the 09 silverado i wanted, thought you had to be 21 to test drive, but then again I was with my mom ;Dtrex1210 wrote:

Wat? I've never heard someone use that word to describe a Jeep before. It's not an AlfaZimmer wrote:
I would never get a Jeep. But it's up to you in the end. Even though you're saving $10,000, in the long run that could seriously backfire on you. Jeeps are known to be unreliable, and...well.... when buying a new car, reliability is everything.
But if you think it's the right choice, go for it
Nope zimmer's right here. I've rolled two jeeps. Rollover is way too common.DesertFox- wrote:

TJ/YJ were great. All these new bourgeois models they've come up with are actually quite bad. They're just Dodge platforms rebranded, in truth, and that will show at 80k.DesertFox- wrote:

Apparently a few of these new ones are based on the Dodge Caliber platform, but I agree about the quality of the older ones. I have a '96 XJ that's got about 130k on it, but is starting to show some age. My dad has a '03 Grand Cherokee that's still pretty good, too and it's done about 110k I think.TSI wrote:

Need to ask if it is a manufactuers warranty or a dealers warranty - big difference.@Dilbert, I have no idea the warranty on it. I am going to the dealer on Tuesday during my lunch break to go over the details about the vehicle.
