AWESOME!!! But then I hear a lot of people on here worried about their Jeep getting broken into because of the lack of doors or soft top. I've owned a Miata and never had an issue no matter where I parked but I didn't leave the Rolex sitting in the front seat either.
I just transferred from a 17 year old cherokee with 159k, valued at virtually nothing to a 14 2 door sport....and my premium went down by $6. Same high coverage, no fault policy. I was shocked.
I just paid first full 6 month premium on '14 JKURX that replaced '11 Kia Forte Sport. The premium was almost $40 cheaper. I was so shocked the I called my agent to be sure the coverage on the policy was correct.
Interesting... After calling my Insurance agent to get a quote on my future JKUR my premium is actually going up slightly from my 2012 Mustang GT. Which is weird. I will say that my Mustangs value was probably just over half of what my new Wrangler will be worth, so maybe that's why... But whatever the case its still a fraction of what I was paying before I turned 25, so I'm happy!
With the resale and insurance situation, driving a new wrangler is actually reasonably economical as long as you do not drive a lot. Really depends on your commute. I was going to have a Jeep or some kind of 4x4, i really do not think the actual cost of my jeep vs say a colorado or frontier is that bad.
Yeah, I am lucky. My JKUR is my econobox, relatively speaking. 72 K10 with a 396 and a 65 GTO with a 505 are my other choices, so I feel pretty eco-friendly and financially responsible whenever I jump in my Jeep. Everything is relative!
i have my JKUR and my TJ both full coverage and they are $600 yr each. i was shocked that the new one was not more than that. my truck on other hand is $900 yr 09 f-350. before anybody said tht i can get cheaper. tht the cheapest rate possible for me. no wrecks and clean record. but my age is killing me
I have to say I was pleasently surprised when I insured mine...in California where they rip us off for EVERYTHING it was 514.00 a year 1,000 ded 100/300/100..shocked...was expecting at least 800.00 per year being its new,expensive, 4wd and California!...and like someone else mentioned i have a 23 year old Cherokee also and that is only 32.00 a year less to insure??? figure that one out!

FWIW we pay almost the same for all the Jeeps the car and the house...confusing I know......the '14 JKU POLAR is actually the third in line cost wise, but all the premiums are within about $8 of each other..vehicles all have the same coverage......The house, than the '13 Chrysler 300, than the '14 JKU than the '12 JK than the '04 TJ...
Insurance went waaay down from my previous vehicle, '07 Pontiac G6, when I bought my '11 JK. Yes I had a G6 Between my TJ and my JK. I really don't know why.
I just updated my insurance... I'm paying LESS for a brand new JKU than I was for a 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup!
