Just don't get a Land Rover.

9 minutes and he never did. Make it over

My wife has had two LR3's - her favorite vehicle she has ever owned.  Just wouldn't own one out of warranty and it definitely wouldn't leave the street.

There was one feature on the selectable 4WD system that I wish they would incorporate into the Wrangler.  It had a Rock Crawling mode (yeah, I know) that change the rate of the accelerator pedal.  It would take a 1/2" of travel in RC mode to equate to 1/4" of travel in normal mode.  The idea is that you can ease the throttle better.

That is on my JKU auto when in 4wd low as part of the drive by wire.  They started that in 07 or 08.

It's all a dead point now. The ya-hoo that agreed to buy the Jeep at a price HE suggested backed out last night saying that price was out of his budget. Make sure something is in your budget before throwing out a big number and agreeing to buy it. I hate selling stuff......

Sorry to hear that.  I normally require $500 or $1000 unrefundable deposit before considering a vehicle sold.  Otherwise, it goes to the first person that has the money.  I've dealt with people like that in the past.

When I sold my 911 last year, a guy sent me a $500 deposit and backed out of the deal.  I was having seller's remorse once it was sold and wanted to keep it.  The guy told me to keep the $500 but I told him that I really wanted to keep the car and sent it back to him.  LOL - changed my mind 2 months later and sold it anyway.

Dude, if you sell that and get an FJ, you have no choice to shred your man-card.  //LMAO//

EDIT:  Just realized this is the 10A for sale on JKO.  Damn that's nice.

One thing was driving that decision- FJ was half the price of my sale price of the Jeep.

I hear you.  I have just barely under $50k in my '14 JKR and I know there will be another $10k going it in over the next 3 years.  But it will be paid for by then and no longer be my daily driver.
