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."
"very good and well made"
