I would stick with the '13 ... otherwise you may get a bad '12. Search Pentastar head problems, that should help you with your decision.

.

 

If you like the bumpers, rails, and wheels on the mw3 and don't plan to replace them, get it. Otherwise get the '13

 

New all the way

 

'13.

Why would you buy a theme Jeep, and remove the theme? That's like going to the circus and not riding the Tilt-A-Whirl.

Plus the '13's the 2nd year of a redesign...who knows, maybe Chrysler got a few kinks worked out. Sounds good, anyway.

Go Rubi for less.

+1

I've been tempted by a '12 Arctic still lingering on a local lot, but.....

 

Get the MOAB 13 it is a rubicon also and it has everything the MW3 has...

 

i don't think the moab is a rubicon

 

Go with the 13 Rubi.

 

If you wait a little longer you can get the Cod Black Ops II Jeep!

 

Get the newer, cheaper non-video-game Jeep.

If you want a video-game Jeep, wait for the CMS edition or the MP edition:

 

I'm still waiting for the Pitfall version Jeep myself.

 

As in Pitfall Harry?? If so, wow, what a blast from the past! I wore out my fingers playing that game in the 80s.

I vote for the '13 too. Cheaper and you wouldn't be paying for features that you'd immediately remove.

 

Is the MW3 used or just a left over?

I was looking at the same thing, except I was more interested in getting a good deal on the MW3. I was hoping to get a 44k jeep for like 38. That didn't happen, so I ordered a 13.

I think people have already pointed out the pros and cons of the MW3 - bumpers and rails (pro), might get a messed up engine (con). If you don't care about the MW3 badging and will replace the bumpers anyway, no real reason to take a chance on the '12.

 

Both have hard and soft tops and the same options, Rubi is 40k and the MW3 is 41k.

Definitely go with the 2013 Rubi. Plus, if you're patient and can wait for a custom order, you can buy a new one for much less than $40K. As you'll see on this Forum, ordering a new Rubi for 1%-3% under invoice isn't that hard.

Good luck!

 

OP, I would get the 2013, as everyone has said.


Also, off topic, this ^^ person has been in multiple threads and just reposted what other's have said without adding anything else. Strange

I'm gonna go against everyone here get the 12 because you can get a better deal on it or for the same price as the rubi and it has leather and everything else the rubi has. So your getting free leather and the black wheels and other cool stuff that came with it. Find out when it was produced my take on the head issues is that they are mostly from early produced models like from 2011 my 12 was produce in June 2012 so I felt confident grabbing it at a great price. But the leather for free is the catch for me the car is sweet well they both r but if you can get the features for free why not?

 

I'd say the 2012 MW3 as well, the Bumpers and rock rails are serious money buying them after market. Plus you get the full monty warranty from Jeep.

 

That and you will be one of only 3000 people with that car it's a cool feeling I wish I could have afforded one I woul have definitely done it

 

I'd go MW3 hands down. The resale will be higher as well if you leave your badging alone. Keep the bumpers. If Not, go 13.

 

Remember the '12, even though new, has already depreciated a year. You're better off with the '13 unless they make you a hell of a deal on the '12.

 

40k out the door.

 

Ya keep the badges on even of you don't play they basically mean you are a badass and could afford them lol

 

Thanks for all the advice!

I love the color of the mw3 (silver, matching hard top and fenders) and really think i will just take off the exterior badging. I have no problem with the build # badging and even the MW3 on the seats (i love the white stitching) but god i hate that they put call of duty on the headrest.

I do like the rest of the add on's, bumper, hood etc. So i think once the badges, tire cover and headrests find a new home in a box i'll be good to go.

Thanks again

 

Do it up you can send me the headrests lol

 

My vote is go with the 13

 

40k out the door.

I'd pass especially since you don't really like what makes it "special". Order a '13 exactly how you want it.

 

I'm probably the only one that is happy for you!

My neighbor has one and I play the video game series. As long as you are keeping most of the mw3 package, I think it the better deal.

 

As pointed out, most the COD package price is actually because of the bumpers, hood, etc. Not the badging. So really it is a matter of how much you want to spend, what you want to do with it and how you want it to look. The AEV gear on the COD is nice stuff for sure and that one is cheaper. Equipping the 13 with similiar items will set you back a few thousand dollars. I had the same choice and ended up going with a 13 because I wanted a particular color and I also didn't want my Jeep to look like a bunch of others, at least 3499 not including the ones that just AEV themselves out. Get a better deal on the 13 if you can and add some of your own flair.

 

Got my wife the 2 door black MW3 about 2 weeks ago. Price was right and she loves it. My daughter drives a 99TJ. Buy what makes you the happiest.
