From the mileage standpoint for 2k would be worth it to start out fresh.... From a model standpoint I've got no experience with either of them...

I'm a Ford guy if I had to choose. But my experience is the one talking now. If Ford looks good all over and that is what SHE wants. I'd go with it because if something happens to that Jeep... Guess who's gonna hear about it for the next 27 years?.... YOU! :smiley_coolpeace:

We have had 2 Jeep Cherokee's and ran them into the ground. (6 all told in the family over the years) Great drive train and solid motors. If I haden't needed a truck next, I would be looking at another.

I'm not a big fan of paying depreciation and love letting someone else pay for part of my vehicle.

I bought a 2007 CTS-V in 2012 for $19,000 that had 68k miles on it. MSRP in 2007 was $62,000. The way I look at it is someone paid me $43,000 to put 68k miles on my car. I've put 72k milles on it myself and KBB trade is still $11,700. So I only paid $8,300 to put the same miles on it that the other guy paid 43k to put on it.
