Vehicle Overview
Nothing is more traditional than the smallest, entry-level Jeep model, which is a direct descendant of the military Jeep that assisted in the Allied victory during World War II. In fact, the Wrangler’s predecessors are considered by many to be the pioneers of the sport utility class, even though the term “SUV” didn’t come into existence until Jeeps had been around for decades.
Under the Hood
This Wrangler X has 190-hp, 4.0-liter inline-six-cylinder with a five-speed-manual transmission. Part-time 4WD is intended for use only on slippery surfaces.
Driving Impressions
Modern-day Wranglers are a lot more civilized than their ancestors from the early 1990s and before. Whether motoring down the highway, whipping through urban byways or traversing the most demanding off-road terrain, they’re nimble, quick, precise and fun to drive. Wranglers can get noisy, but not nearly as much as they did in the past.
Condition
Runs great and is fun to drive. You are purchasing a 2002 Jeep so expect to invest some money in replacing seals that need to be replace do to age. There is some rust but the Jeep is structurally sound.
