Based on your post it looks like you came out $4,000 in the hole.

I think it really depends on the rebates you get on them, that can eat up.a.good bit of the depreciation. The guy I bought my Rubi rails from had a Sport S with a soft top and didn't have the upgraded slush mats or tinted windows. Also his bed wasn't line-xed either and came with only a soft top and no Max tow package, all options mine came with and mine came with a hard top when I purchased mine. He got his last June and paid $46,000 for his. Now his does have power windows and Locks, which I priced out can be added to mine for around $800 total for windows and Locks or $500 just for the locks. Either way he paid $46,000 for his and I paid, $36,800 for mine.I would not have paid almost $10,000 more just to get the power windows and Locks.

Looking at it like that he's probably pretty upside down on his considering I could have bought one exactly like he bought for only $2000 more at my dealership when I was getting mine, but I wanted that Max Tow option so I could get the 4:10 gears and upgrades for towing, that's going to be worth more on trade in or sale than power windows and Locks, which like I said can be added for $800 at my local Freeman's car Stereo. It's basically all about timing when buying new, you got hit them when they are offering those good rebates.

No, no matter what you buy, you're going to have to factor in taxes and fees, that will vary by state, and whether you buy it out of state or not, like I did.

Then you can't actually say I bought something for X, when not factoring in tax, title, registration. The total is skewed.

Wow.... Just simply wow.

If taxes and fees vary from dealer-to-dealer, and state-by-state, how does THAT not skew the numbers? Comparing the initial negotiated purchase price, prior to taxes and fees, is the ONLY way to honestly compare the vehicle’s selling price on a national scale.

I think it’s only skewed when someone doesn’t include what they had to pay in fees made up by the dealer. Taxes, title, and registration are a separate cost. Unless you work those costs into your loan. Either way when buying any vehicle not putting money down will give you negative equity.

I was talking about prior-to taxes, doc fee, registration fees, etc... I was, however, including that stupid ripoff $1,500 destination fee that Jeep charges.

So, $46K (incl. dest fee), out the door, before local taxes and registration fees, bullshit dealer fees, etc... Because everyone has to pay those regardless.

That's all depends on your market your in and what vehicle your buying and also rebates. Mine with warranties and all out the door at $36,800 got $39,050 invested. If I put another $800 into it adding power windows and Locks I'm at $39,850. Can't find a regular sport with Max tow, they want let you build one on the website now, it's got to be a Sport S. Compared to this which if I added power windows and Locks would pretty close to similar

I'll bet I could pull $41,000 for mine right now if I parked it and put a for sale sign on it. That would put me $2000 in the good. Just talked to guy again last night who offered me $40,000 for it and he's still serious about wanting it. If you keep it stock it's not appealing but minor work can make it seem like it's worth more than it may really be.

A Sport Max Tow and Rubicon differ by about $9k. I'm seeing Sport S models for $8k below MSRP in my area but Rubicons, none that good. When I was shopping for a JT could hardly find any Rubicon with even $1k off but Sports were regularly $4k off, and that was before the holidays. So in reality you can get a Sport Max Tow for about $15k less than a Rubicon, but that's just the offerings in my area. Currently seeing Rubicons "advertised" at $8k below MSRP as well as Sport Max Tows $8k below MSRP, so it's possible to avoid the "$15k price difference", but Rubicon will still be several thousand more expensive. YMMV.

The whole reason they start with such a high MSRP, is because they already have every intention of knocking thousands off of MSRP to make sales, once they’re on the lots!
The discounts were baked into the MSRP from the git go! ;{

Most of the Gladators around here used are within 1-2000 of new. I just bought a new 2020 white Gladator rubicon sticker was 58370.00 paid 50280.00 + tax With that said there are a bunch around here that they will only nock off 4000.00

Cars are a horrible investment but as you know jeeps do tend to sell for a bit better price. So much depends on where you live. I am on an island and you can add 10K dollars to the figures you have stated here. Our Jeep Sport S sell for 57K and Rubicons are 72K out the door. Resale is good here but you still take a bath on accessories and shipping. Dont stress it, enjoy it, trade it, and move on. Everyone's needs are different. So good luck to you.

Nothing like a thread on used vehicle value when the vehicle is still very much in its first model year
