I'm going to buy a JK Wrangler for work use, no question. But, still on the fence about going with a used/new 2012 or 2013 Wrangler because of the Pentastar head issue and I can save $6k out-the-door vs new if I go 2011. I don't need power (not towing) but really want the new interior hence the 2011.
So, at a down-south dealer I found a great-condition 2011 JK 2dr S-package, dual tops, 4spd auto with 14,000 miles for $20,900. It's at a foreign car dealer (not telling what state) and that's their cash price to get it off the lot (beyond 100 days and because the hard top has a leak that wets the front floor on both sides).
I think the price is good -- they know new Wranglers are hot with the 3.6, but is it worth it to go with a 2011 to save that $6k? For those who traded up from 2011 are there any regrets? It's still under 3/36 warranty so I could seek a dealer about the leak or fix it myself, no worries. I'm wondering if I haven't thought about all the angles of 2011 vs 2012/2013. Thanks for any "think about this" kind of feedback.
P.S. Yes I've driven 2011s, 2012s and 2013s both auto and manual. No different feel for the way I drive.
