Are you surprised that it got out of the parking lot when you first got it?

So, as a FCA man yourself, any advise you can give me on buying a jeep wrangler?  issues, things to look for, or anything else?

10k is the new 100k. Better get out of that high mileage ticking time bomb ASAP.

Mostly sorted by now. Very few regular problems. But FCA is FCA, you never know when you’re gonna get a lemon built on a Sunday by someone with a hangover.

The 3.6L likes to seep/leak from the timing cover, radiators are known to crack and leak, thermostat housings sometimes leak (but are super cheap) and oil filter housings (under the intake) leak, but mostly on FWD applications of that motor.

Rear brakes tend to wear out a tad prematurely...

I think that’s all the normal stuff.

Good to know.  When I buy one (I think its a done deal) I am thinking about putting a little picture of Sergio in the rear window.

Like this, but with Sergio’s sexy glare?

I LIKE IT

I need to find someone who could do this for me. I honestly searched for “Sergio Marchionne Bobblehead” but was disappointed to find that market untapped.

Someone on Oppo can do it. Dusty makes Oppo stickers as do a few others, in fact that JC sticker was done by someone on Oppo years ago iirc.
