I will probably be in the market for a GCSRT-8 in the next few months.... There are some MONSTER DEALS out there right now. :shifty: What year's model should I buy, and WHY? ...... Keep in mind, my Wife will be using this vehicle also, and she won't drive anything that "scares" her. :erm: That would mean any kind of forced induction, (overly) loud exhausts, etc.... (although, I'm sure, there is a correlation between "best year" and "upgradeable".... That's what I'm looking for, even if I'm not going to upgrade myself). I just want a nice Daily-Driver that is RELIABLE that we both could drive.... and NO, I'm NOT looking at 5.7 Hemi's.... I will only get a SRT in a Jeep. :smart: Just looking for a good year model..... I know there are some "experts" on here, so I hope to get a "desirable" year. I get tired of vehicles after a few years, and want the best chance at resale. .... Thanks in advance.... - Jake izza:
2008 >...2007...2006 MyGiG Upgraded black interior Tuning is already out Oem HID's (auto leveling) Smoother front end And all the NEW features on the 08's over the previous years.....from wkjeeps.com EXTERIOR • High-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps • Integrated headlamps with park/turn lens • Refreshed front fascia and grille INTERIOR • Center console, cup holders and armrests • Four-gauge instrument cluster with LED illumination features black gauges surrounded with white pointers, silver accent field on Limited and Overland models • Heated first-and second-row seats • MyGIG Multimedia Infotainment System • Remote start • SIRIUS Backseat TV • Soft-touch on upper instrument panel • Tilt and telescoping steering column with integrated Electronic Vehicle Information Center controls on steering wheel • iPod interface • Eight-inch DVD screen with rear video entertainment system • 115V power outlet • Integrated second-row headrests • ParkView Rear Back-up Camera The reason WHY i recommend an 08 over the 09 is because you can get one for a better deal and there were a FEW upgrades o the 09's over the 08 such as: INTERIOR • New Leather interior upgrades (upper door bolsters front and rear, I/P cluster brow)..........no big deal • 9" DVD screen replaces 8" screen......1 full inch! • New performance display screen in EVIC (longitudinal and lateral g-force, 0-60 mph acceleration time, 1/8-mile and 1/4-mile acceleration time, and speed and braking distance).......SICK....only thing i wish i had but my autometer gauge does the same thing and track times are more accurate • Surround sound confirmation in EVIC (w/Kicker audio).....only a confirmation • Full iPod integration into the audio system.......cool but who cares the MyGig holds 20gigs anyways • Enhanced voice-activated in-vehicle communications system.....don't use it anyways much • WiFi internet access (Mopar accessory)....DUMB • New shift knob cap with “Jeep†name........soooooo NOT a big deal EXTERIOR • Red brake calipers replace black calipers.........WOW So all in all if i had to pick between an 08/09 right now it would be a hard choice cuz i'd go for an 09 cuz i always like to keep up with the Jones' BUT i would paint the red calipers and have to wait a long time for some decent tuning to become available........or go for an 08 cuz it will be a lot cheaper and have all the same features minus the performance center
Yeah, very cool, Paul.... thanks! :ilovesrtc: Any major issues to worry about on one of these things?
