Carmax doesn’t give me an offer. It says something like “your car is rare so please make an appointment for an appraisal.”

Yup! I special ordered a loaded Rubicon gasser April 2020 for 7% below invoice. Only thing it didn’t have was a diesel motor and body matched hard top. April 2021 I special ordered a loaded rubicon with diesel and the one option the first didn’t have, body color matched hard top lol. I special ordered it from the same dealer, same 7% below invoice. Put 7k miles on it and they gave me 2500 over what I paid them for it. Couldn’t be happier! Best part is because I’m located in FL my trucks 57k trade in was a huge tax deduction on the new one. I paid about $400 in taxes only as opposed to $3500ish. Though I started my payments over (cool with that) I am only $4 more a month than the gasser.The market in my area is still super hot for jeeps. Toying around I called a few dealers and can get close to 55k trade in for my Mojave. Almost makes me want to custom order one with all the bells and whistles and break even on a trade.
Anyone have any recent success stories?
You traded you Gladiator in for a Soccer Mom Car.well, I jumped...
I traded Super-Duper-2 in on Thursday on a 2022 Chevy Tahoe RST Diesel order.
Found a dealer that would order the Tahoe at MSRP (only one of five that I visited, one wanted $5k over MSRP, one wanted $15k over, two wouldn't even order one).
They gave me $52k for the Gladiator.
Let the waiting game begin...
Well I didn’t trade mine and came away with $2800 more than I paid for the Durango. Paid cash for the JT and banked the difference.I don’t think this is as good as everyone thinks it is, unless you are pocketing cash. Here’s why.
You may be getting a ton more for your trade than you were, but your also paying a ton when you go to buy another one.
The prices on all these vehicles are absolutely insane now. 45-50k for vehicles with 70k miles on them. I saw a new bronco at a dealer for 90k. 90…k.
I saw a blue power wagon for 46k that has 72,000 miles on it.
so really, I don’t think it’s much different. Now if the buyers market wasn’t marked up as much as it is now, then I might agree, but they still have to sell all these vehicles they are buying for more than they bought them for.
just my opinion.
Wow, that’s rude.You traded you Gladiator in for a Soccer Mom Car.
