Used Car of the Day: 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Recon
Sometimes, when new cars are too expensive, you can buy lightly used for a little bit less money. This 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon might qualify.
For $43K, you can get into a Wrangler with a manual transmission and the Recon package.
Other features include power locks and windows, keyless entry, remote start, leather seats, heated front seats, automatic climate control, the usual Rubicon off-road features (front sway-bar disconnect, front and rear locking differentials), LED headlights, black hardtop, and steel bumpers.
The Recon package adds things like 35-inch tires, a winch mounting plate, aftermarket skid plates, a four-inch lift kit, premium audio, new springs, and 4:10 axles.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- NotMyCircusNotMyMonkeys does he think hes getting 55B a year?
- IBx1 And the only thing they will have spent money to advertise was a desperate grab for ceo compensation
- 3-On-The-Tree Lou_BC, I think the great highway mpg is a combination of a low curb weight at 3200lbs, weight distribution with the engine up front and transmission and transaxle in the rear. And the great LS3 V8 with the 6 speed at 80mph it’s only pushing 1700 rpm’s on the tach, which is barely working.
- Stanley Steamer I think Ponch and Jon riding ahead of that thing could do a lot more on their own for recruitment. For one thing they could invite the public to watch some cool motorcycle tricks. The kids love that.
- IBx1 Of course; legacy automakers only want to sell you the king crab and porterhouse dinner when all you wanted was a light, trusty BLT.

Second picture: Do you like pegboard storage? (I don't.)
I learned a long time ago to never buy a heavily modified vehicle. Far too many people lack the necessary mechanical engineering skills to know when they've screwed something up.
