I just bought one without doing much research. Oops, anyway I believe this model is the se/base with 245 size aftermarket tires and cd player and soft top. NO center console and no cruize. it is automatic. I would like to have cruise control and some tow hooks and a center console.

my question is would it be worth it to trade it in on a 04 model with around the same or slightly more mileage if I can get the same deal on it. I am looking at the sport or X package, I would love to have a Rubi, but I don't think it would be around 20,000 range with 19,000 miles on it. What option do I need to look for that may come with cruise control. Is this jeep worth keeping for a while to see if I like the base model and trade up to a rubi in a couple years. this jeep with 19,000 cost me around 18 after I got done haggling them. Thanks for any help you can shed on this.

If you JUST bought it, keep it.... you're prolly too upside down on the note and you'll likely lose your ass.

Buy the toys you want, and add to your TJ

I just bought it yesterday. I really like the sport models better, but most of that factory crap will come off anyway so do I really need a sport? Afterall the drive train is the same at least it has the I6 in it. I may just hang on to it. I'm wondering if the cruise control off my 97 grand cherokee would fit it ? :)
