    A good friend works on hybrids, and is seeing a huge wave of local trades that need new batteries after just 70 to 90k miles, roughly 3 to 4k USD. That is what a rebuilt / crated motor runs... no thanks. Amazing to me that the dealerships just plunk them on the lot with those kind of issues.

    I adore diesels, have owned several and have found them to be just terrific workhorses. They just go and go. Like a hybrid, plan on paying more (and getting more when you sell it), so it will take a while to get it to math out, but once it does you will still likely have many more miles of use ahead of you. I am really hoping Jeep brings the diesel JK to the US next year (I drive a lifted JK now with 35's).
