Well what are you looking to do with it? If you're interested in offroading, it's an excellent choice. If you're looking to tow a 30ft. boat, then probably not the best route.

Would you be modifying it?

Also, what do you consider a good deal? What kind of mileage and options does this one have??

its a 2003 Wrangler X black with 60K miles for 11K. 5 speed 4.0L its really clean too. Its not the best deal but from what i seen its one of the best prices around. Not sure how much modding i would do i am coming from a 01 acura cl type s so i know its a big change. But i drove one last night i really liked it.

Well....


Cons: Gas mileage isn't the best (especially when you start modding it), and they can get pretty squirelly once you start doing big boy mods, limited space, no creature comforts, and don't expect the towing capability of a truck. Don't ever keep anything of value inside.


Pros: Short wheelbase makes for excellent offroading, strong 4wd, easy to work on/repair, TONS of aftermarket goodies makes it an easy vehicle to customize.


Personally, I love mine and will probably never sell it. Sucks ass on the highway, but that's because of my mods. Great around town vehicle. Offroading is a blast. Sounds like a decent deal, I'd say go for it.
