Welp, yesterday was a complete waste of time. They tried low balling Kim on her cobalt for trade in price. They said they would give her $1,800 for it, which was 20 minutes after the sales man said private party was $5,100 for her car. We just put over $1,000 into it in the past two months getting ready for inspection and winter so we walked out.

A few month ago (prior to sinking $1,000 into it and the check engine light being on) another Jeep dealer in the area said they would give her $3,250 for it. I feel insulted by the $1,800 they offered Kim for the car.

I know exactly what you are going through Matt. My WK has always been the DD, but I did wheel it occasionally. Nowadays its more of like "keep the jeep healthy" than "lets wheel the crap outta it" type mentality since I paid it off last month.

I need this thing to last for sure. I myself need to buy some UCA's I think, just as preventive maintenance since my stock ones have 100k on them 50k of that is being lifted. Maybe I will be able to get some new wheels and sell the spacers and JK rims to offset the cost. It will make the jeep safer, or at least thats what I will tell the wife

Ill still take it wheeling... but wont be as brave lol. Either way I need to get another vehicle in the near future (hence my "minivan vs suburban" thread). The key is we're also putting our house up for sale in January... so its a spider web of "what ifs"...

Oh... and btw we're looking for a larger house because baby #3 is coming this June (just told the families Sunday). Lol so ive got A LOT on my mind im trying to figure out now especially since my son has a Nov birthday so he'll be in daycare longer than most kids.

Wow dude Congrats on #3!

Still getting my bearings with #1 my 3 mo. old!

Congrats on the #3 bro!

[Matt]

Thanks man! My son just turned 3 and my daughter turns 2 in June.... around the same time #3 is due.

Lol im definitely the "oldest" 28 year old I know.

If we get a new house, a 3rd vehicle is out of the question for a while and we'll squeeze the car seats in the Commander. Im most likely going to get the SA rear bumper so I can carry around the full sized spare and get cargo space on the roof back.
