The dealership is way better than other ones I visited at the time. I should clarify. At the time I owned a 07 CR-V which was great, but even then it wasn't the best type of vehicle to take mudding. In college, I was very fortunate to have a good paying internship through my 2nd to 4th year, which isn't too unheard of in the engineering field. Anyway, I decided on an Wrangler. However, older Wranglers are hard to come by if they're in good shape. There's plenty of abused ones though. I chose to buy a certified used one from a dealer for a very cheap price. Seeing as it was an American car, the value pretty much dropped quite a bit in a year and a half since it rolled off the factory line according to its paperwork. I bought the Jeep in very early 2013 and recently finished the payments on it. It stays garaged but I take it out on the weekends for some fun in the sun, surfing and of course mudding or rock climbing.
