How to talk my parents into a Jeep Wrangler?

My dream car has always been a Jeep Wrangler and I was just wondering if any of you had any advice on how to talk my parents into letting me get one.





Their main concern is safety...





Have any of you ever talked the parentals into something that seemed impossible to talk them into?How to talk my parents into a Jeep Wrangler?
Since safety is a concern, do your research on safety and show you parents its good points in safety. Unfortunately the bad points have always been glorified, where is has been proven that Speed, driver error, and alcohol is the cause of role overs and the safety role over tests have always been over exaggerated by extreme maneuvers. Where a safe driver would 99.9% prevent or avoid the problem.The wrangler has major improvements in preventing role overs and major safety improvements over the Willey's which was prone to role over's do to it's stiff suspension, short wheel base and narrow width. Also try www.allpar.com and search jeep safety should have info on the jeep


Good Luck and enjoy your JeepHow to talk my parents into a Jeep Wrangler?
Well if they wont let you have one then go out and buy one your old enough too. I went out and bought a 78 cj5 when I was 15 to work on paid for everything myself and now being almost 18 I still drive it to this day. If you dont want to buy it by yourself and your parents wont buy it then hold off on it your still young and will get another chance to get your dream jeep.
First you must do understand sales technics. Find another vehicle that is different (but you still like) and comparable in price. This way you are presenting a option, this or that?


Then you need to learn all you can about Jeeps. Things like, how they were the GI's best Friend during WW2. In bad weather how you will be safer because of the Full Frame construction and while it doesn't make one invincible, it does give you the ability to get out through bad driving conditions safely.





Good Luck
If the main concern is Safety, then the point that they're perfectly stable on the road should help.





Here's a list on the crash test ratings of Wranglers of various years.

I think you should be thankful for whatever they buy you!
First. get a job. Second save about $20,000.00. Then go buy one. Oh yeah. Get a license to drive.
As for their concerns about safety, the wrangler actually did OK in all the crash test(with the optional side airbags) so it really shouldn't be a concern. You didn't mention the other concerns they may have. Reliability is pretty good, maintenance costs are average, insurance is a bit higher than the four door family car.


If they are paying for it then you should listen to what they have to say. Dream car or not, they don't owe you a jeep(or any other car). Be happy with whatever you get. All I got was a diploma for my graduation.
Ask them if you can borrow their check book and then buy a Jeep with it. Very easy. They are your parents they should pay for it.
