Reasons to Buy Used Jeeps

They Are Reliable

In terms of reliability, what are some of the factors that come to mind when you think about used SUVs? For us, we think about how long the vehicle’s various parts will last before needing to be replaced. It is a common misconception that adventure SUVs wear down quickly. The fact of the matter is that this idea is completely false.

Jeep vehicles are not made to break. You can find models from the early 1990s still roaming the streets when Jeep season comes around. According to RepairPal, the average Jeep reliability rating across all models is 3.5 out of 5 stars, which is above average. Some vehicles have higher reliability ratings than others, but that’s the overall score. As for annual repair costs, the average cost across the brand is about $634 compared to the average $652 for vehicles from other brands. This number includes the estimated cost of regular maintenance. Owners of Jeep vehicles can also expect to make only 0.3 unscheduled visits to the repair shop per year compared to the average of 0.4 visits for other vehicles. As for severity, only about 13% of repairs made to Jeeps are considered to be severe.

They Are Cost-Efficient

Used Jeep vehicles are very affordable. Depending on which production year, model, and trim level you choose, you can easily find a used Jeep for under $15,000. If you want a newer used model, you will pay more, but it is still a lot less than the initial sticker price. Plus, as you can see in the previous section, repairs and maintenance are generally less than other vehicles. This makes buying a pre-owned Jeep a very good decision for your bank account.

They Are Very Customizable

At this point, you might be worried that buying a used Jeep means that you can’t customize it however you want. Shake that idea from your head because used Jeeps can absolutely be customized. You can add or eliminate almost anything. Want to put a snorkel on so you can traverse through streams and rivers? Do it! Want to install maximum trailering tow hooks to pull your recreational toys anywhere? Do it! With Jeep, the sky’s the limit for customization.

They Have Dual Citizenship

In this case, dual citizenship refers to the type of driving. Jeep vehicles are very well known for having good road manners inside the city, and they are even more well known for their off-roading prowess. While there are certain trim levels to look for if off-roading is something you will frequently do, most Jeep vehicles can handle camping and hiking adventures without anything added. If you are interested in the enhanced off-roading models, look for the trims known as Trailhawk or Trackhawk. These are better suited for spontaneous folks who enjoy heading out into the wild on a whim.

Check Out These Popular Models

One of the most popular and highly sought after used vehicles is the Jeep Wrangler. Depending on the trim level, new models can get pretty pricey. If you are looking for the incredible off-roading power of a Wrangler at a fraction of the price, Orange Coast is the used Jeep dealer to visit! While our inventory for used models changes every day, you can almost always find a used Wrangler in great condition. We usually see Unlimited (4-door) models more often than the regular 2-door body style, but that just means you’ll have more space in the back for cargo. If you enjoy going on adventures with friends or family, this is a great option. It is even a good choice if you have a lot of gear or equipment to bring. For example, solo filmmakers and photographers don’t have to leave any important equipment behind with a used Wrangler Unlimited from any model year.

Another incredibly popular used Jeep model is the Grand Cherokee. It is almost the same size as the Wrangler Unlimited, but it is generally better suited for families. It boasts a more suburban-friendly appearance with its curvy lines and smooth shape. You can generally find one of these models used for under $25,000. As a mid-size SUV, it can carry up to five people with plenty of cargo room in the rear for backpacks, groceries, or luggage.

If you are looking for a used compact crossover, then the Jeep Compass is a solid pick. Its petite frame makes it perfect for driving in large cities, and it gets great gas mileage if you have a daily commute to undertake. As for off-roading, some models may be equipped to handle light adventures. For example, you can go camping or hiking without a second thought in one of these beauties.

For those among you who are looking for something tiny and sporty, a used Jeep Renegade might do the trick. As the smallest model in the Jeep lineup, this petite SUV is classified as a subcompact crossover. It is sportier than the Compass, and it is ideal for singles or couples who enjoy adventures more often than other people. It is also more or less in line with the Wrangler when it comes to off-roading prowess.
