I follow carefully reports and reviews on cars regarding durability, maintenance and reliability.
To be honest, Dodge and Chrysler (including Jeep) are among the least reliable cars around. A recent study by Forbes in the USA shows that these manufacturers along with GMC top their list of least reliable cars.
A list which no Japanese or Korean manufacturer made!
Interestingly, cars manufactured by FORD for the past five years are among the most reliable.
Jeeps have been well known for their mountain and dune climbing capabilities, but when it comes to road driving, you'd better slow down before buying one and see all other alternatives.
A Ford Explorer may be a good choice if you are looking for an American car at the same price tag (or even cheaper) than the Jeep.
But for Qatar, if you can, get your self one of these:
1- Toyota Prado.
2- Nissan Pathfinder or X-Terra
3- Mitsubishi Pajero
4- Honda Pilot
They are the least to lose at reselling by order.
They are also very reliable and have a large range of options to choose from.
Hasan is right on the resale value. The 4-door wrangler should do you fine as a daily driver and work out for camping trips. I guess you gotta love the car if you're going to buy an older one. Either way, good luck finding a car that suits you!
Don't listen to Hasan. He's just lazy and doesn't like working on cars. I've got a 1992 Wrangler (17 years old) and it still beats a Land Cruiser up a sand dune! Now again, if you want a new one, go for it! They still build them with the "fun" feeling of driving in mind. The older ones are a bit more work but they have such a huge aftermarket and it's much more satisfying when you fix it yourself!
What are you planning on using it for? Off-road (camping, fishing, etc... ) or more as a daily driver?

Id watch out if i were you in regards to the resale value for sure
in addition, i prefer the older engines, 2004 and down if im not mistaken. the 4.0?
the new 3.7 feels so tied up while flooring it.
dam all the eco constraints theyre enforcing on the big boy cars nowadays
conclusion: if you want it for an everyday car, then dont want it that much, you could do better
if you are into poping the bonnet every now and then and enjoy it, go for it (preferably older) as mentioned in previous threads

I had a Jeep not so long ago and I pleased to say 'Goodbye'
All Ammrican cars have bad resale value in Qatar. You should expect to loose around 30% to 35% on the cost of the car in the first year.
Thanks DonMeister,
I am looking to a buy a new one from the dealer, the 4 door version and would use it for day to day driving and eventually also for trips, off-road.
I am also worried about resale value, any insight?

Not a good buy. I would never recommend it even as a second car for off road activity.
Wow... where do I start... haha
Give us some more information, what year? Model? From the dealer or 2nd hand?
Then, I can tell you more!
