Igor Katsubo, an automotive expert for Za Rulem magazine, has discussed the downsides of owning a used Jeep Wrangler. In the secondary market, buyers can find several Wrangler variants priced around 1.3 million rubles. These are typically three-door TJ and YJ models from the 1990s. Prospective buyers should remember that a Wrangler is a convertible, and winter driving can be quite cold without proper heating and insulation.
Some people may not appreciate the interior, which is simple and practical, reminiscent of the utilitarian layout found in the Lada Niva. The Wrangler is not a city car for daily commuting or routine shopping trips; its strengths lie in challenging off-road terrain and outdoor adventures.
Earlier, it was noted that for the price of a new UAZ Patriot, a buyer could consider a used Land Rover Discovery or a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport. The market offers a restyled fourth-generation Discovery from 2009 to 2013, with diesel options such as a 2.7-liter engine producing around 190 horsepower or a 3.0-liter engine delivering about 245 horsepower. Its ground clearance reaches 240 mm, making it versatile for city streets, highways, and off-road expeditions alike.
The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport shares its roots with the L200 pickup truck, and models from 2010 to 2015 fall into this price range. Most configurations feature a 2.5-liter diesel engine with approximately 178 horsepower, blending passenger comfort with rugged capability.
Further details about the Vehicle line, its features, and practical considerations can be found in related automotive reviews and buyer guides that assess long-term reliability, maintenance costs, and on-road vs. off-road performance. These resources highlight how legacy SUVs balance everyday usability with the adventure-ready traits that attract enthusiasts. Notes from automotive journalists emphasize the importance of evaluating rust prevention, drivetrain wear, and parts availability when considering older or specialized models in the used market. In all cases, purchasers should weigh comfort, monthly maintenance, and the intended use to choose a model that best fits their lifestyle and geographic conditions.
