Hey everyone, i know i kind of skipped over the newbie section, but i'm kind of stapped for time here and need some pointers on buying a wrangler.
i dont know an aweful lot about JK's. the only jeep ive ever had was an 87 cherokee, and it was awesome until it took the trip to the mud hole in the sky. (by way of rolling down a steep hill) lol.
anyway, im looking at buying a 2008 rubicon 2d with 54k miles on it. ive been through it with a fine tooth comb and everything looks great. the front diff cover is leaking, but i figure they could both use a good service anyway.
so i guess what i need to know is, are there any objections from anybody or any known problems with 2008's or jeeps with the 3.8 and auto trans up in the 50k mileage range?
am i buying a bucket full of problems or a life long reliable companion? it appears to have been very well maintained and cared for. also it doesnt look to have more than 5 minutes of dirt time under its belt.
any help or info would be awesome as i am looking to get it tomorrow. dont really want to debate about price and what everyone thinks i should pay, just want to know about any potential problems or bad situations i may be getting into.
Thanks all-
Tony
