I'm on my second one and looking for another one. Once you get one you kind of fall for them. My first was a 91 YJ and after I sold it I wanted it back. Finally got another project one that I have been rebuilding for two years which is an 81 CJ7. Once I get my Yukon paid off, I am going to be on the look out to get a TJ or newer. They are easy to work on and you don't need to go to the dealer for everything. You can just about build a new one from Quadratec.com or 4wd.com.

Hubby loves his, too! We bought it new in May 2012 and it's got just over 11K miles. I just wish it had heated seats.

You could get Wet Okole seat covers. They offer the heated seat and lumbar support.

It *is* neoprene though, so that's something to consider if it's going to get a LOT of sunlight (which they should)... neoprene seems to fade pretty quick as I understand it.

Heated seats? Which would only make it even more expensive, hence getting back to the OP of the thread.
The reason(s) Jeeps are so expensive:
1. They are cute and hip, and women love them
2. Men buy them for their women
3. Men buy them to get women
4. Women buy them because they are cute and hip which makes them -
5. In demand, especially with heated seats
6. They have good resale value because of 1 - 6, which jacks up the price of a Jeep.

Simple economics. Capitalism does work, even at the individual level.

Had those for quite a while in my truck. They were great. The seat belt zipping up and down cut the drivers side though.

And the fact that they have a worldwide reputation for toughness and proven offroad capability has nothing to do with it? Nothing at all?
dont mistake me, I have never owned one, and realize they make bonehead moves like any other company, but they do make some products that do exactly what they are advertised to, and more. Thats part of why they sell and have good resale.

I used them to get an idea if it was well-priced or not.
Good luck! Let us know!

Both my mother and father have had Grand Cherokees. My father had one in the early 90s. My mother had two, '98 and '01. All 3 of them spent quite a bit of time in the shop. All 3 were well taken care of. But, I have friends that have had Wranglers for years and they're still running like champs after taking severe beatings from muddin'.
