Why are Jeep Wranglers so %#$%ED expensive?

All you have to do is look at it for more than 15 seconds to get a pretty good idea that a vehicle with a short wheelbase, narrow width and a high center of gravity will have a tendency to roll over easier than a passenger car.

I didn't read it anywhere, it came up during a car conversation my friends and I have regularly. If you think about it though, the Wrangler is the smallest of the bunch you listed. So obviously it wouldn't tend to roll over as easily yet I heard its the easiest truck on the market to flip over.

Trucks and some cars flip over for a reason, its natures way of weeding out the fools who take sharp turns over 70.

I feel your pain dude. I want a Wrangler so bad! in the spring of this year i went car lot hopping and i was absolutly shocked on how much they cost and here in Boulder Colorado a Sahara is about 24K :Q I told the guys at work and they didnt belive me until i brought up the dealers website and showed them. It fricken sucks that such a basic vehicle cost so much, my 11K GEO has more in it than a 24K wrangler, except for the 4X4.

Jeeps are a dish best served when covered in mud. I hate seeing people buy new Jeeps and then just leave them as Tarbabies they afraid to get dirty

Sweet, I knew I remembered that being on the list, hehe - I lost the list for a while and had my thread locked when I asked about it.

I personally think Wranglers suck.
