Default Advice

Looking for help, having a tough time deciding. Though I'd try this out. First time Jeep buyer.

I'm looking at the following:

Both are Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Limited's. Just about the same exact features. Two different dealers, but got them both down to the same exact price sale.

Option 1: 2014, 34k miles, one owner, minor damage on Carfax, moonroof (which I'd like)

Option 2: 2015, 42k miles, one owner, clean Carfax, new tires, new rear brakes, no moonroof

Again, same exact price, the although older model has less miles. Newer model has new tires, etc. Wanted to see if anyone here had a preference or could shed some light, knew of issues with either year that might help steer my decision, etc...

Thanks!

the one that hasn’t been wrecked would be my obvious choice

i always say buy the newest thing you can afford do not worry about miles but i am from ohio and our cars rust to pieces in less than 10 years no matter how many miles and how good you treat them

how bad was the damage? id like a moonroof and if the damage wasnt bad id take the moonroof one but also begs the question how long you olan on keeping it because i mean leaky leaky..... but i would pick 2 more because new tires and brakes and those add up big time
