What are the pros and cons about buying a Jeep Wrangler?

Question about Jeep Wrangler?

• Hi guys, I plan to buy a pre-owned Jeep Wrangler. Im a working woman, with family to look after when i go home. the facts are, i love the wrangler - BUT i know nothing about it technically. Questions popping up in my head are about the maintenance and the fuel consumption. Moreover i plan to buy one thats atleast 10 yrs old so it fits my budget. Could someone educate me on the pros & cons of owning one? what shud i look for before buying one? i heard the airconditioner is a pain. Im located in the middle east, and would desert drive about 1km to avoid the traffic. appreciate a response from someone in the ME regarding the aircon in particular. thanks guys and take care.

• Answer:

  I have owned jeep wranglers and currently own a 2001 that I bought new.I drive mine into downtown Boston Mass. U.S.A every day, about 35 miles.The gas mileage is lousy but better than a larger SUV. About 19 M.P.G. Now mine is 8 Y. O..The vehicle is perfect, but I bought it new.The air conditioning works fine with the hard top and anyone who can't understand why air with a convertible doesn't make sense hasn't owned one.My antique corvette( 1970) never went out in the summer, until after 6:00 P.M.It did not have air. my wife's 2006 pontiac solstice goes out anytime, but we use the air at the worst part of the day.You must have the air cond in the M.E.but should have the hard top and not be afraid to over charge the refrigerant if necessary.It is a great vehicle but don't expect the air to cool the vehicle in that part of the world, without the hard-top.Good luck!
