Used cars to avoid (yeah.... you guessed it!)

Unread post by Carl McFly »

Got this quote from a Yahoo site..... some 'avoid these used cars' link. I had a hunch a Jeep might show up in there somewhere :roll:

"King of the off-road, the 2007 Wrangler can climb over almost any obstacle except a reliability test."

LMAO!! :lol: That's good writing!

Fixed it for you
Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty.

I work with a women who has had numerous electrical problems with her '07 Unlimited.

But seriously...their recommended alternative is the CR-V!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!? Jeep needs to spend money on a campaign that explains what a Wrangler IS and what it is NOT. It is one of the last remaining vehicles actually designed to go off-road. If you only want to tote your kids back and forth to school don't buy a Wrangler!
