For me I already owned a MY 20 and sold it for a profit a few months ago to a dealer, so I'm very patient 😂 I wasn't driving it since I'm working from home 100% since COVID hit. But, eventually we'll need a second vehicle again, so I'm keeping an eye on things.
Same. I sold my 2020 Sport S at the peak of the used price insanity with the intent to likely order a 4xe this Fall. If they don't have it, though, I'll probably just wait until next year.
I can't imagine they won't have it, though.
Absolutely -- if you can find somebody willing to trade and is paying these crazy used-car prices AND will negotiate on a new truck, it's pretty much a steal.
This is awesome. I nearly did the same thing but after I sold the Sport S, I decided I wasn't quite so keen to part with the money again for another truck. Gonna sit on it for a few months and decide what I want to do.
If somebody had had a lower-trim Rubicon/Mojave on their lot, I'd have gone...
I sold it to a dealer, believe it or not. Private party I imagine you could get even more if you found the right buyer?
All I did was get a Kelly Blue Book Instant Cash offer, then drive it over to the local Jeep dealer that popped up on the offer I got. They did a quick inspection and wrote me...
I sold my Gladiator last week for a couple of reasons:
1) I sold it for more than I paid for it (tax/title/fees included) due to the insane used car market.
2) Since COVID hit, I've transitioned to 100% remote work. Even with the restrictions lifting I won't be going back into the office...
Ok, I sold it. $44.4k which was $2k over MSRP on a year and a half old JT. I paid $38k for it. After considering taxes and hopefully a prorated refund on the extended warranty, I'll make a bit of money on the whole deal.
Super excited! I'm gonna sit on the money and hope the 4xe is announced...
This is pretty exciting -- I think I'm going to take advantage of the crazy user-car prices right now & sell my Sport S and then wait for the 4xe Gladiator. Seems like there's a good chance it'll arrive with the 2022 model year. I can live a year or so without a 2nd vehicle.
Just got another KBB instant cash offer. Now it's up to $44.4k. This is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
I'm emailing with the bulk dealer I got the Sport S from with this idea of upgrading. We'll see what numbers he comes back with. I just want a really basic Rubicon with a few...
I got yet another email from KBB that my JT's value has increased 5%. I checked Vroom/Carvana/KBB Instant Cash, seems the best offer I'm getting is $43,740, which is pretty damn close to what I paid for the thing (out the door + extended warranty) a year and a half ago. I think I'd be out about...
I just plugged my VIN into Carvana online, they offered $42k. Still damn close to what I paid for it, but that $2-3k gap is not nothing. I'd be paying that + the difference for the Rubicon upgrade. I think my extended warranty is transferable, though, so curious how that would affect trade-in...
I think this has got to be the reality of the situation. Why in the world would a dealer give me essentially MSRP for an old car and sell me a new one on their lot without charging the same premium? There is no gain for them.
I think the only way to maybe do this would be to sell the car to 1...
100% my feeling, however I know that the used car market is pretty crazy right now, so I think used cars in good condition are potentially selling for like-new prices.
I emailed the dealer I bought the Sport S through, gonna see if he can give me a quote. I got it at 6% under invoice, so if he...
I'm purely speculating here, but I keep getting emails from Kelly Blue Book that my 2020 JT is increasing in value. Right now, it says a fair trade-in value is $44k. I paid $45k for it after tax, fees & warranty. In theory, if I could find a dealer willing to trade in for $44k, I could upgrade...
Wow, love the blue Mojave! Kent is indeed a badass. He even called me up months later to see how things were going with my Sport S.
Wish I could have gotten a Rubicon or Mojave, just wasn't in the budget this time around :) Maybe in 5 years I can reach out to Kent again and talk about a...
This all seems incredibly unlikely, especially since my dealer installed them before I even took ownership of the truck. I think I'd have a pretty strong argument if this scenario ever transpires.
That, and I very much doubt I'm going to blow a tire because I have a slightly heavier vehicle on...
That's news to me, the dealer I bought from were the ones to offer them and install them! I'm not too worried, the stock wheels/tires were considerably less substantial than these Rubicon Wrangler wheels/tires, for what that's worth.
Is there any actual ratings/data to look up to back up this...
