Do you off-road? If so its fine.
>>14767968
>Base model sport
>35k CAD
Shit, I know the CAD is weak right now but damn son, thats like 23k USD over here.
You got fucked getting the gussied up wheel/tire dealer pack
>>14768173
>wheel/tire was cheaper from dealer than anywhere else
forgot to add i got A/C and the hardtop.
$31k cad before wheels
>>14768198
Why did you spend $4k on wheels, are you wealthy?
>>14768208
idk they look nice? not 'wealthy' but have enough to spend 4k lol
>>14768198
>Still got fucked on price
>28k USD with A/C, Hardtop, Wheels.
>>14768216
what wheels tho? those arnt normal 'jeep dealer' package wheels.
also pic related
>>14768208
Look at the one behind it. Same thing without wheels and hardtop.
imo looks horrible.
Congrats on your cop/thief magnet, op.
>>14768198
>A/C
>an option
Apparently it's still 1975 in canuckistan. But seriously OP, if you have the money for a new car, and wanted a jeep, good for you. It'll be fun and you'll enjoy it. You've just got the usual post-purchase panic that we all get. Go drive around--that'll cure it.

>2016
>buying a jeep
>ever
You done fucked senpai you paid for a overhyped weak and terrible off road vehicle
My best friend bought a v6 tj after years of wanting a v8, I called him an idiot and he still agrees that it was a shitty impulse buy. Have fun with your shitty low end Mercedes transmission
>>14767968
>ask /o/ AFTER you buy the car
if you actually care what do we think about the deal, why not ask us beforehand, not after
>>14769095
validation senpai
It's fine. If it's what you really want and what makes you smile driving down the road, keep it. Something to keep in mind: it is a thief magnet. With a soft top, people will knife your windows to get at things inside. I never leave my doors locked, and the only things inside are a cheap radio, jumper cables and a tow chain.
This lack of security can be stressful during stops on long trips with household goods (shotgun, cooler, booze, etc.), grocery shopping or going to the movies or parking it on the street.
I wouldn't have bought the huge mud tires, but whatever. Remove the spare or find a better way to secure it, or it *will* be stolen.
Obviously, don't listen to 4chan. Congrats on the purchase and don't forget to wave.

>Have fun with your shitty low end Mercedes transmission
As long as OP changes the transmission fluid every 40k miles, it will be fine.

I got the hardtop and I'v never considered jeeps as thief magnets but that's good to know.
Thanks

i'm on here literally 5 hours a day during work, people always make a new-car-validation thread and since i finally bought one i wanted to do it too lol.
>>14769062
>>14769143
Thanks for the heads up
>>14769054
>>14769043
desu have too many 80s cars and it's my first new car purchase. It's the only 2016 non-coupe vehicle i actually wanted so i'm sure i'll enjoy it.
>>14769043
>It's the same for jeeps in the US too...
Iv only ever seen A/C an option on jeeps, i almost left it out because i already live without A/C in my fiero and its not a big deal, but w/e.
>>14767968
You paid 35k for a 2016 jeep that looks exactly like a 2001 jeep... okay... good job buddy...
>>14769517
>not knowing the differences between 2001 and 2016 jeeps
(i'm not saying they're good differences so your point still stands)
I understand that completely, i wanted a TJ but my family wouldn't agree
I like those wheels OP. Nice jeep, I really like them but they're just impractical for my life so I don't think I'll ever buy one.
Sweet mall crawler bro
I firmly believe that no car is worth more than $10,000 other than supercars, which might be worth $20-$25,000 so I'm obviously retarded and shouldn't be posting in threads like these.
>>14767968
is 35k a shit ton of money to you? Are you going to have to cut back on your spending because of it? If so, yes, you fucked up.
>>14769788
I have similar views.
I don't understand why people spend $60,000 on BMW M3s that can be beaten by a $10,000 motorcycles..
no fuck those wheels dude
the more shit you do to a stock jeep the shittier it gets to drive
>>14767968
does it come with doors?
>>14768216
are you fuckers not aware of the exchange rate?????
>>14768198
>>14770335
well good thing i have 2 daily 1980s beaters and i walk to work. also live in rural area
>>14770369
Yeah thats why i posted the pic >>14768229
Awful "bro" wheels OP. Would look much better with some Rubicon take-offs or something like that.
>>14770510
i guess
but honestly no idea why you don't like those 16" stock wheels
there are a shitload of jeeps in my city, and 90% of the time they are lifted 4 doors with those big stupid tires that are spotless always
>>14767968
Buddy just got the rubicon for that.
>>14769043
A/C is still an option on many entry-level cars in the US, including the Wrangler. Doesn't make sense if you live somewhere permanently cold, or if you can just drop the top during the summer months.
>>14772209
Thats a good deal, but still usd-cad conversion fucks us up in canada
>>14770349
Lol ya
I have a 2014 "Sport" with the 6-speed and it can be fun. I just wish stability control could be disabled without also taking out the ABS. Also, the 3.6L Pentastar engine (which is apparently like, the best modern wrangler engine) requires revving to get any useful power, which isn't optimal for a heavy, relatively-tall, short-wheelbase, 4WD-thing, but it's fine.
The Speedo stops at 100, but I've gone just over 115 according to ECU data.
>>14774050
The 3.6 fucking blows compared to the 4.0 in the TJ.
grats man, enjoy your new car
>>14775056
3.6 Vs 4.0 (Last Generation)
285(JK)-315 Hp Vs 177-190 Hp
260 lbs Vs 235 lbs
>>14775056
Yeah I dont think so man.... they really arnt comparable.
I dont own a jeep but I know the 3.6 is much much more powerful.
Granted its not an inline 6 and wont create torque down low as fast but its certainly far more powerful on the higher end.
>>14774050
but how does it handle at freeway speeds
youll get a lot of pussy but youre paying more for less so you can offroad. /thread
