...well sort of. It's technically MY Jeep in MY name but my wife has claimed it as her own. We did own a 2003 Jeep Liberty that was nothing but problems. Bought it 4 years ago with 55k miles on it for $10k, we put another $5k in repairs (most of which I did myself). She wanted another Jeep and I told her when she was pregnant, I'd buy her one.
So here we are!
2015 Jeep Patriot - 18 miles on it when we took it for a test drive, bought it that day too.
Altitude Edition (we didn't need or want all the extras, and any Chrysler sunroof is a POS, I've gone through SIX between two cars).
2.0L (meh, I wanted the 2.4L but whatever)
Automatic CVT
Tax, title, car, and all the extras it came out to $23k. Price was $19k. $3500 trade in and awesome credit has me paying $95/mo more than our old Liberty!
I've owned nothing but Dodge/Plymouth/Jeeps my entire life. I come from a Neon background (400whp SRT4 is my toy, getting big boy upgrades now). So 4 cylinders are my comfort zone.
It's going in Tuesday for some Teflon paint treatment and remote start. I did drive it through some nearly knee high snow drifts without traction control on, this thing just plows and handles pretty well actually. I'm not going to be like a car editor and compare it's handling and power to a Lexus or Porsche but for an entry model, low end vehicle....I'm pleased.
