Bad Idea or Not

1404 Views 10 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  UPPIDYCON
I'm coming home today & my Rubi search starts! I've found one that is a 06', very low miles, both tops w/ auto & asking $19,600. That being sad..I admit I'm known for not keeping cars very long. I have a very promising hit on my truck which is an 09 Silverado Z71 LTZ, will be making $5,000 off it. There are several reason why I considering this. 1) I miss my old Jeep a lot 2) I'm tired of big note plus insurance, looking to down size. So what ya'll think bad move or not?

Depends... I need 4 vehicles, truck to haul stuff, pull the boat and tow a jeep. Zo6 vette to fulfill the midlife madness, sport bike for the daring side and a jeep to fill my exploration needs..

How many can you get by with?
Just as a point of reference: I bought an '03 Rubicon in Sept. of '08 for $15300 out the door. It had 7500 miles on it with a 4" lift and 12.5x33's. Felt like I'd stolen it!
I just bought my 3rd Jeep after being Jeepless for a year......I couldnt take it anymore. But, I also love my '08 silverado (wife's DD...she'd kill me if we got rid of it too) and would never get rid of it.

That Jeep sounds like a good deal depending on how low the miles are and if its stock. I also assume its not an Unlimited Rubi. For reference, in July I bought a stock '05 Unlimited rubi Sahara with 45k miles, dual top, 6 speed, and in down right PURTY condition for 21k and some change.
Buy the jeep...

If you need a big truck, buy an old one... cheaper and cheaper insurance.
The question is to buy a jeep or not? Hmmmmmmm.....YES!

Well.... 4 can go down the road, one can fly across the water but can't do that without one of the 4. So that would make it 4 1/2.. LOL

Soon as I win the lottery that I never play or hit the big slot in Vegas I want my own jet. If that happens then yes I'll have a solid 5.... LOL
Hopefully my truck is getting sold tomorrow...Then can go my TJ Rubi!
