New to Jeep - Need advice on '03 Wrang X

['03 Wrangler X]

Hello Everyone,

I'm contemplating getting a used 2003 Jeep Wrangler X. It only has around 40,000 miles on it and is in great condition.

I've always wanted a Jeep Wrangler, but truthfully I don't know that much about them. The price seems right. I'm just not totally sure. Can anyone give me some advice before I make my purchase?

Specs:

2 door
5 speed manual
6 cylinder
4 wheel drive

Thanks!

hard to say without knowing the price but it sounds like a nice jeep to me. welcome to MJR///Kevin

['03 Wrangler X]

$13,999

I just need to know if there is a model type of something else I should be weary of when I look at it this weekend.

Sounds like a good price to me! My dad bought his '01 wrangler APEX (it's an "X" package with a different interior coloration) for 13,000

Where I live, and '03 wouldn't be priced under 16K. Especially with that few miles on it. That's just my $0.02, but it sounds like a good price to me.

Snatch it up. It sounds like a good deal and you'll really enjoy it!

Mine is an '04 X model!! Definitely worth it!! You'll love it. For the price, it's a steal!

Look for a Dana 44 rear axle.... I think X models do NOT have them... You want one.

for 14 bills, I would snatch it up
sounds like a good deal to me.

The 'X' is the first in the line up, next is the 'sport' and it too does not come with 44's. If you planning on doing serious off road stuff, like these guys in this thread, I would agree with Mat. But jeepn is fun no matter what you got.
