Hi guys. I am new to the forum. I was looking to reach out to the experts, I have a question.
I am trying to get some things sorted out. I am looking to possibly trade in my Jeep (2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392, W/AEV JL370 upgrade kit). All in when new I paid about 123K (?) around there. I have only put 4K miles on it... and because I work from home, I find myself driving my wife's SUV more than anything. So, I am wondering if I may be better off trading it in to pay it off and trying to pick up an H1 with the amount I have in equity (so this would limit me to a dealership I think). If I could pull this off, I would save a pretty hefty chunk of cash each month (car payment), and prob have the Hummer in return to play with. I understand they are slow; I get they need some Maintenace (I do my own work, mostly) ... But like my current jeep, it would sit more than be driven. However, if I do need to drive it, it would be in town or short trips under a couple hundred miles. My question is... help me with my sanity check somewhat... Would you folks do this, or no? I could keep the jeep and just keep throwing money at it. It is very nice to drive, def not slow... and extremely dependable. I should mention I am not new to Hummers. But I have only owned H2's (3 of them) in the past. I am a jeep guy... so gas milage and all that is not a concern for me. dependability is, and I would need to be sure I could get myself into something that isint a rusty mess, or a project on wheels... I was a mechanic (not Hummer mechanic though) so I am good with a wrench. But I am older now (sadly) so I am not able to do as much as in the past... but I have my son who can help me, when he is free.
I'll stop there... What do you think? In the end it bothers me to see my jeep just sit there... 4K miles on it... in the past year, I think I put 20 miles on it max. Each car payment is like a house payment.
thanks!
