What do yall think my Gladiator is worth?

[Zachanadandy]

Checking every option on kbb for a sport s still puts it between $36-40k. There's no way you're getting $50k.

Hopefully, you saved all the original parts. Return it to stock, as much as possible, and get what you can out of it. You should be able to get more money out of the Mods by selling them separately. It's easier to find multiple buyers for the separate pieces than one buyer that will take them all.

But what is your time worth? Could you maybe get a few extra grand by doing all that work and dealing with dozens of flakes no matter what app you use to sell your items? Sure. Is it worth 10+ hours turning wrenches and God knows how many hours/ days waiting for buyers that don't show up, show up and offer 20% what you were asking, etc? To me absolutely not. I'd pay $2k extra just to make it a single, easy transaction.

No offense, just help me understand. Just curious to the OP and others who change the tailgate.
What inspires folks to take the iconic 'JEEP' off of the tailgate and put on 'GLADIATOR'? Is it just a cool thing?

It is not cool. Like taking a BMW or Harley Davidson emblem off. Not cool.

To me, it's kinda like the 'angry eyes' grill that some put on the JK and other Jeep grills. I chuckle when I see them. It's usually a high schooler.... and that much I understand. I was young and dumb, 4 or 5 decades ago. Now I am just old and opinionated from experience. Please keep it real.

I was thinking 50k would be reasonable

Are going to Finance? Check the LOAN Value that the bank or Credit unions will lend.. That is a good starting point.. 50K No way in today's market.

Yeah, but not everyone has that option. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your time to accomplish things that you may not have much control over.

What I’m more curious about is why it says Overland on the hood. I actually thought to myself that I like the fond and coloring, but I actually have an Overland. lol.

At 50K you really need a cash buyer. Or someone who has an excellent credit union. Because usually, buying new a buyer has better finance options.

My old adage was to build a paid-off older Jeep. Money you throw into it is party money, not an investment.

There are 271 other “iconic” JEEP logos on the JT, and nowhere on the vehicle does it say Gladiator. This looks 1000 times better than stock

To the OP, a sport is a sport, no matter how you look at it. Mods RARELY make you any money unless you find a cool kid who happens to love your mods. Unfortunately there aren’t many cool kids with 50k in the bank. 35 seems more realistic to me. Good luck with your future endeavors.

Got that covered too

My 2021 JTM has 'Gladiator' stickers on the right and left fenders. But, to each his own. I prefer stock visuals. And having JEEP in bold letters means much much more to me than GLADIATOR.

You may want to sit back and watch and take notes instead of throwing it out there that maybe you sell this stuff.

My hat's off to you. But thanks and no thanks.

Be well. Jeep on.

I think I’ve replaced/removed every single stock emblem on this thing already.

In no way shape or form do I sell this stuff. My signature says everything you need to know. Thanks but no thanks.

Fair enough. But this 'thing' to me is an iconic Jeep with it's heritage.

Agree to disagree. Mine will be beat to hell and have 200k miles on it in 6 years. It’ll be iconic if it’s still running before it’s paid off
