Jeep Wrangler was completely redesigned and reengineered last year and the result was a vast improvement over its predecessors in every respect. And this year's Wrangler is even better than last year's allnew model. Steering responsiveness is improved with a new steering gear ratio that varies from 15:1 on center to 13:1 at the extremes of travel. The lower oncenter ratio improves steering feel, while the higher ratio at the extremes of travel maintains overall maneuverability. Power steering is now standard on all Wranglers. For the first time, cruise control is available on the Wrangler, along with the Smart Key Immobilizer theft deterrent system and a tilting driver's seat that improves access to the back. The clutchstarter interlock jumper wire has been replaced with a fuse to make it easier to use the starter without the use of the clutch for key starts in fourwheeldrive low situations. Nextgeneration airbags and selfadjusting low tension threepoint seatbelts with heightadjustable shoulder belts have been added. But the newest generation Wrangler remains true to its gritty heritage, which dates back to World War II when Jeeps served with distinction around the globe. But now it's quieter, roomier and more comfortable. It rides better. It handles better. It's more capable off road.

Buying a 1998 Jeep Wrangler

Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 1998 Jeep Wrangler, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 1998 Jeep Wrangler for less money than when it was new. If the 1998 Jeep Wrangler was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.

The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 1998 Jeep Wrangler is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.

Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 1998 Jeep Wrangler will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 1998 Jeep Wrangler is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
