Sorry about your baby here Jenn, but honestly, any car that has had 19,000 worth of body work done on it from 2 collisions, not to mention a transmission about to go, isn’t really worth much at all. I’ll bet her Car Fax reads like a science fiction story to any potential buyer.

Take the newer car and don’t look back.

Oh, and you might ask about the MPG on the Jeep before you decide.

Edit - see you already did it. For 4800 miles a year, the 14 - 15 mpg won’t kill you.
