What Owners are Saying About the 2002 Jeep Wrangler

"Last purchase of a car 2001"

"I'm eighty three and have owned this 2001 Jeep Sport Wrangler since 2001. Put very little millage on it, just drive it to the store and back. This Jeep has never let me down in any weather. For most of the years of ownership I have had several batteries, fuel pump and minor brake problem and just replaced all of the original tires. I have been tempted to purchase Jeeps new pick up but thought better of it because of my age. My 2001 Jeep sport Wrangler will do me for now and will be my last purchase of any car. "I love it"!!"

"Great estimate on my jéep."

"I love my jeep. It's one of the funnest,most reliable, mm ist versatile vehicles I've ever owned. I'm 67yrs old and still find my jéep to be exciting and comfortable to drive on a daily basis."

"I am a happy jeep driver times three!"

"My first jeep was a CJ7 and this is is my second unlimited. I feel this is the best "Grocery getter" as far as jeeps go. The wider wheel base makes me feel safer, and the extra room behind the back seat makes for perfect camping gear space. Living in the cold Wisconsin weather, the hard top is a must, along with a lift and 33" tires. One week ago I rolled my jeep. I hit snow/black ice and that was the end of my control. Headed for a field and rolled two and a half times. The jeep has some cosmetic damage; broken fenders, windshield broken and the w/s frame is bent from the roll over, hard top is toast-rear window and side window shattered, drivers door needs replacing, rear tire flat, roof rack bent, and the engine was still running when I landed. I am certain if I was in any other vehicle I would be writing this from a coffin. I am happy to say I climbed out of the passenger door (b/c I was on my side) with a mild concussion and a few bruises. I am thankful I was in a jeep. As soon as I get the jeep back on the road I am investing in the "If you can read this, roll me over" sticker... I think I earned it."
