Re: Used Jeep Wrangler price suggestions
It turns out I couldn't make it all the way out there, and my friends were only willing to go a few miles out, so I sort of had to settle.. I paid a bit more because of the year and miles, but still less because it's an I4. It's an '02 SE with 57000 miles on it. I paid almost 13k for this thing because they threw on some bigger tires (mud tires) (the stock SE tired looked pretty terrible especially on a white Wrangler, I admit), and the sound system seems alright, and they got me slightly tinted back windows (soft top), and overall the deal isn't terrible, but I'm starting to see a few little things..
I guess a little part of the roof light cover fitting is loose, so the speakers mounted up there, when the bass is loud it makes a clicking sound that is somehow annoying despite the loud drive. I guess just replace that little light bulb fixture up there? How much would that cost?
Also, they didn't give me a manual for it or anything, but I suppose you can find that kinda stuff online nowadays? Or order it, at least.. Anyone refer me to something like that?
And the last thing.. Probably the biggest deal.. I think they filled the tank for me, and it still showed around.. 1/4th full.. Pretty low.. So I drove to the gas station, and started pumping, and after a few seconds it clicked.. Assuming the tank is full.. But still, the gauge is reading 1/4th full, and I can see that being a really annoying problem.. Maybe I'm being retarded and forgetting something, but.. Filling a gas tank always felt like such a simple thing to me.. I checked jeep.com, and it says there's no recalls for it, as I noticed some other Wranglers do have the gas tank display being bad as a recall.. Any suggestions, or a cost for repair of something like that?
None of this stuff is a dealbreaker for me yet, but of course I wish I could have mentioned it to them and paid less, or paid the same after they had fixed it all. I'm sure I'll find a few other quirks with it, since it's a used car and all, but at least the engine sounds pretty nice, and the transmission doesn't feel flawed at all yet. My friend who knows stick transmissions a bit more than me says it idles a bit hard, but I think that's normal for a Jeep.. At least, my mom's jeep did the same thing
