Tell you what, we can go halfies on an offroad vehicle. I can have it in winter and you in the summer.  We'll meet in Edmonton to exchange it

Don’t worry, you could just get a 0% intrest loan for 96 months to make it happen.

I tested drove a 2 door for $36K USD   one almost exactly like that but it had AC . Still n ot worth it.

The base Wangler is still only 28,000. Its just that no one wants the base.

I still maintain that Jeep needs to find a way to make a s ub wrangler.  Something between a Jimny and a JL.  Bring the fun back to Jeep, the new JL’s are so serious.

If you’re looking for a good value in a new car, I’m not sure Jeep is where you want to spend your time.

I’m also Canadian, which usually means a swift dick-punch for pricing.

This is the correct “100% new” Joop solution that’s not spelled “Illegal Mahindra”.

Is that Canada munnies? In which case that is about what I’d expect a new Wrangler to cost.

But yeah... even basic cars are ‘spensive these days.

Seems to be a common theme lately (of which I have participated). New cars and trucks are freaking expensive.

Someone needs to run some data analysis. How much inflation, year over year have new vehicles been increasing?

They’ve probably been increasing at the same rate, but our brains don’t register it as a lot until it hits a certain point.

And we seem to be hitting that point with a lot of cars - wrangler, mustang, ranger, GTI, etc.

The fact they charge that much for it down here in the US is amazing. Is there any other mass-market vehicle on sale today in which A/C is not only an option, but costs 4 digits?

Yeah yeah, specialty vehicle, I know.
