Tony,
I posed your question to a friend that has several jeeps. Here’s his reply;
“Have him buy a 2018 JK and avoid the 2019 JL (new design). He’ll have good pricing and a more reliable (proven) Wrangler. The new ones (JL platform started in last half of 2018) are troublesome because they’re first year models. The JK and JL models were made concurrently in 2018 so shop carefully. The interior of the new models is beautiful, but if they decide to do any modding (decorative or otherwise) there is a vast amount of options in the aftermarket for the “older” 2018 JK. Buy a Rubicon version if the budget allows...great for resale when that time comes.
My 2012 JK Wrangler is trouble free at 72,000 miles, with several off pavement excursions each year.”
Good luck.
Mike
