213 miles or 213,000 miles? 2012 and up had oil cooler issues. You seem like the type that wants to get yourself into a less than steller vehicle just because it’s a Jeep.

I’m not a financial advisor although I have made decent financial choices in the past, you need to look at a Honda civic, not a Jeep.

its not that i the type to get into less. I'm looking at looking at different ones, but this guy is willing to work with me on payments, where most private sellers wont do payments and I cant get approved at a car lot to get one, so its not that's less I look and ask questions and or get info on things into what I'm looking at or into. I will not look at a Honda civic I do to much fouwheeling and camping and on top of it I don't like cars so if you have to be rude to make you look good or make you feel better keep your comments to your self, just understand I have to find a way for someone to work with me on a jeep I don't have help like some, and the only thing I have is the support of my other half and my brother

It's more that numerous people told you not to get the 3.8 but that's what you're seeming to settle on. Your money, but it sucks to buy something just because you want it so bad, then months/years later you wished you had spent more on something you'd be happier with long term.

its not about the motor I ask questions so I can learn and I can look into things. its not about the motor or the year, if that's the case I wou ld go after a brand new one, but like I said its for advice in knowing what others say and see the options I'm getting into on the jeeps, the one thing I found out and learned is that the 3.8 motor came from the mini vans. but I see what everyone is saying but I also looked and asked the owner questions from what he could tell me.

My comment wasn’t rude or to make me feel good. It was to try and help you along in life. Best way to stay broke is to buy cars. If you need a private seller to work with you and take payments you don’t need to be buying a car. Sometimes a reality check is what is needed. Not saying this to offend you.

Best way to make money is to get out of debt.

The 3.6 is the same motor as the mini van as well.

i did take it as adfenceive and I do apologize if my comment back was rude, but the only way in life to move forward is to sell and buy something new and if payments is what's its going to take then we'll I will do that rout, but its life and things have to move forward and become something new, and the jeep Wrangler I have is being built from motor trany and new lift and axles, but its been a project for a while and need to sell the grand cause of history I have with it due to an ex and its not something I want to have around with my feature wife

Not sure I’ve heard of a Rubicon sport ? Seems high for the mileage but not my money.

You and this thread are a complete mess. Why on earth are you thinking about lifting a Jeep if you are also trying to work on private party sales with the seller financing.

Some people never want to succeed in life.

But you haven’t bought a Jeep yet? You’re kinda getting ahead of yourself aren’t ya? Since the title of this thread is advice I’m gonna advise you to buy a vehicle before you start buying parts. As to whether you could or should buy a Jeep only you know your financial situation. My advice on that would be if you can afford to pay cash go for it, but if you’re looking at financing or payments wait. Buy a beater daily driver and start putting away the money you were planning for payments into a separate account then when you have enough saved pay cash.
