Hey guy and gals, new to the site and the world of jeeps and I want you to talk me out if something. Lots of words, but short story is at the bottom.
First off, I have loved the four door wranglers since they have come out and wanted to buy one. Recently, I have decided to buy a used one, since they are significantly cheaper than new and it is what I can afford.
Anywho, back to the original piece. I keep scouring the internet and lots for a 4 door, 4x4, manual trans, with absolutely no luck. So I decided automatic is fine(if i have to). Now, I can't find a 4x4(in my price range)! Who in their right mind would think that would be difficult? I keep thinking of just buckling down and getting the 2x4, because they are significantly cheaper.
I am looking to finance 20k out the door, that is at the most, I want to spend more like 18-19k. I found a low dollar 4x2 for 16k and another one with power windows and whatnot for 17k. Found pretty much what I am looking for for 22k (2008 4x4 manual trans). I am trying to keep my payment at pretty close to $300/mo, which is why I set my range at that.
I do not necessarily NEED 4x4, but I don't really need a jeep either. I plan on daily driving it and camping and minor off-roading, but I want the capability of going in snow and the like.
TLDR: Cannot find the 4x4 in my price range, keep finding 2wd. Do not need 4x4, just want it. Not looking to spend a fortune on a used truck.
What do you guys think? Should I save up more for a down paymeny(have $1000 now with great cosigner)? Should I just buckle and get the 2wd?
