Ok im thinking of selling my 07 to get a 2010 but i kinda want to wait to see if the 2012 will have an srt-8 JEEP. The only thing i dont like about the 2010 is theres no rear vidio. Give me your opinions.

Personally I'd keep the 07 just for the rear video. The 2010 doesn't offer anything "better" IMHO

Unless you're looking to get that 'latest version' and restart your clock on miles, I'd say stick with the 07 and wait and see about the 2012.

If anything, you can always come back to a 2010 later (possibly slightly used?).

Tub out the 07', Full Roll Cage, 426 w/ Blower and Nitrous, RWD 9 second MONSTER

Buy the 2010 and leave it stock and just cruiseeeeeeee

Thanks for the imput guys but im 67 now and my wife agrees with all of you and she even said the 2010 may not be as fast lol and even with a tune as my tuner is no longer around and im not into data logging. I do have my tune now on a disk so i might be able to load it into a new predator. Ill keep your comits in mind and thanks a lot.

Your tune wouldnt work on a 2010. Each year is specific. Plus they are vin specific. You would have to wait till the pcm is figured out!!

I prefer the new interior and mygig, but the Jeep's are too similar to take a big depreciation hit to trade up unless you want to reset your miles like Peter said.

I would keep it and wait for the new one.

Do what i an doing. Go to Mopar.com and buy one of the dvd system there that is built for the 2010 GC. It is an after market factory install. They have 2 styles, including a head rest one. a 2010 GC is actually cheaper than a 2009 GC, use that money to add the DVD player.

well said! The ONLY reason I would buy a '10 is for an inferno paint job with the new style interior!

Might wanna wait for an 2010 model anyway, especially the way dealers markup their cars when they just come out.

Like my Magnum RT back in 2005, MSRP was $29995, dealers wanted $40,000, WTF! so I waited a year a got a used one in 06 for $23000, much better.

Keep the 07 and get a 08 front bumper, grill, and headlights. You will sort of have a 2010. Just no black interior, mygig, and the performance pages. lol
