Yeah I missed the 2WD posted. Whoops.max225 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2020 3:53 pmSD is in fact in my search radius... but I haven’t seen anything decent down there yet.

Truthfully I haven’t been looking at the links you’ve posted, so not sure how these San Diego offerings stack up against them. But if you find something here that’s decent it’s a quick flight and easy trek back home.
The one you linked is a 2wd bromobilethat’s priced about 8k too high.
I mostly just want you to come down here so we can rebuild the German-Russian relations.
It appears to have push button start in that pic? SO I would assume so... when you say keyless entry do you mean like an unlock button on a fob or the walk up to it shit?max225 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2020 2:44 pm https://www.southcountychryslerdodgejee ... 0b281d.htm
A 2 Door 2020 is around 28.3k... which is nearly what an FJ runs with 80k miles... UGH.
Does anyone know if the Wrangler has Keyless entry at least standard? :aincare: about the rest. I can't deal with using a KEY to do shit.

So... Mini looks like it lost 8k since I purchased it... I haven't learned my lesson.

Alignment is still off, after 2 trips to the
the steering wheel is still cocked to the left a bit when i go straight.

Yep. This is what happens when you get the car you WANT BRO. My all in was 25k for the car + 2.5k in cali rape tax... 27.5k... Private party is listed as 19k according to KBB and 17.5k trade in... so could be as much as 10kDesertbreh wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2020 6:46 pmwutmax225 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2020 6:45 pm So...

Y'all got that cheap cheap gas
we got a lot better, we're in the "mid 3s" for premium... for no reason whatsoever. Which is much easier to swallow than closer to $5 where we were not long ago.

So I am officially scheduled to travel to Europe 2/9>2/21 so it seems that a move is unlikely on my end until then. Mr I KNOW WHAT I HAVE BRO here has had his car listed for a month now... If it doesn't sell by the time I am back I will make him an offer he will likely refuse once again.
I think my upper limit is 28/29... which seems far off his price still.
