Jeeponomics 101: Eternal tirekicking for the gutless Jeep

This :triggers: me so hard that if it is between this broad and Trump.......I'm going to seek Swiss citizenship.

Doesn't sound like a terrible plan. Maybe Austria for me? Switzerland is so damn expensive.

So how do you feel about the move?

About the Jeep?

That they have fucked up financial priorities?

My in-laws had $75k of student loans between my wife and her sister. $15k we knew belonged to my wife, the other $60k was consolidated and who the fuck knows who owed what. Their educations cost roughly the same. We paid off the $15k and $30k of the other loan, her sister and husband haven't even made a single payment. And then go buy a I guess $50,000 JL. I'm beyond pissed.

I don't really understand what's happening here... how are they all tied together. In my case, the student loans were on me, no cosign from my rents. Paid off in full in my mid twenties due to slumming it in a instead of going full

So is your wife on the note for these things? Just their parents getting burned? No payments ever, really?

Collectively, DFD would like to burn those motherfuckers at the stake.

My wife and her sister both took out loans in their own names, but their parents also took out loans for the two of them in their own names. They had ~$90k in total, but in an effort to reduce their payment and reduce their interest rate, they consolidated a big chunk of loans from the educations of both my wife and her sister. We called Navient, but they couldn't tell us how much of that new consolidated loan was from each institution. There ended up being a $15k note tied specifically to my wife's college expenses and another $75k note that was mixed.

Even before we paid off our own loans we were kicking in $150/mo to help cover at least some part of their payments, but it took us a few years before we really started chipping away at things. My in-laws had paid off about $15k of that $75k note by the time we'd paid off our own loans and that $15k loan. We then took out a private loan for $30k to pay off half of the remaining $60k balance (lower IR) and knocked that out this year.

So while we gave her parents $150/mo for YEARS to cover part of their monthly payment and then paid off $45k in principal, her sister and her husband haven't ONCE made a payment on those loans. Her folks still have $30k left and we feel like we've done our part, but rather than chip in for theirs, my BIL and SIL went out and bought a new $50,000 . Hence my .

They deserve it because they worked hard and no longer have the "Burden" of student loans where the .edu is trying to FUCK THEM.

over here as well

They vote Republican, but maybe Elizabeth Warren's student loan forgiveness plan will save them.

Ready and waiting to send an invoice to the .gov for the $75k+ in student loans we've paid off.

Fucking takers.

Oh they know, and they're full of excuses. I think they just don't GAF.

Pretty clearly. If my parents TOOK OUT LOANS IN THEIR NAME to send me to college, so I can walk into the Jeep dealer with a 760 FICO not a 680, and I buy a new Jeep instead of paying my parents back, all the while knowing that my sibling and her husband manned the fuck up and paid my parents back, I would either kill myself or just never come to a family event again.

True story:
In college I once took out a small student loan to give to my mom so she could buy her Mk1 because she couldn't have afforded it otherwise. I paid the loan back, too.

So... The Willy's package may not be as much of a slam dunk.

It doesn't come with the uprated dash and it comes with the lowest level radio as well.

43k MSRP and you get a dash from a 18k base renegayde.

You talking about the Sahara vinyl stitched dash?

The one that makes Nance blush when you take her out to Applebee’s?

Somehow the igloo cooler roof, fabric strap seat recliners, and mandatory wind advisory and ear plugs over 40 MPH are fine but cheap dash = seppuku

Nah not that.. the Gayges. and the center screen. Now the offensive part is ... it has 13k in "options" and still doesn't have a decent dash or radio.

Yep, Willys is terribad. Only would buy one.

Oh yeah. That's the tech package I think. I'd opt for that if given the choice. Its one of the few things you can't really just bolt-on change out on a Jeep. Everything else like LED lights and bumpers and wheels and whatever are all lego pieces.

I wouldn't let it stop me though. I like the Willys.

You still enjoying yours? Did you get the turbo motor I cant remember.

Yea, for some odd reason it gives you the rest of the Sahara pieces (power etc) but not that even thought its technically a Sahara IIRC

He did, that’s the best way to fly on these. You save $1250 over the V6. As the trans now costs $2750 without the 2.slow discount. I am really curious about that motor as it may fix the low end grunt issues of the 3.6

Turbro 2.0 all the way. Zero low end issues as it’s got torque for days. Plus, the 8AT is a nice match.

Just poking fun at myself.
