Gladiator valuation.... Looked at trading

[hubbys_gran1teJT]

I’ve always been able to get around 2% interest on used car loans due to good credit but damn it’s crazy right now…
Just bought out my lease (2020 sport S) for around $33000. I couldn’t get lower than 7% interest. We also bought my wife a 2020 Grand Cherokee Limited X for around the same price a few weeks ago and the same thing. Payments are a bit high but hoping soon the interest rates come down a little and we can refinance because this is crazy! I can’t imagine people buying $50-60,000 vehicles. Their monthly payments must be through the roof! All we can do is pray now

Hi I am wifey ?

Hi I am wifey ?

@GRAN1TE JT , why'd you let this happen? How are we supposed to honestly talk about pricing if the wives start coming in here?

I just traded my 2020 gasser a few weeks ago.
2024 rubicon listed for 62,000 on sale 56,940
They gave me 38,000 FOR my 2020
Now the 2024 gasser- I requested a mopar lift (2400) 7 yr.100,000 mile warranty (3800 ),move all my skid plates ,wheels and tires ,front bumper and winch to the 2024.
I walked out $52,700 5.9% interest .
In my mind I believe I did good.

I keep getting letters and e-mails from my dealer trying to convince me to trade. With prices and interest. Plus the fact that I have my JT the way I want it, I don't see a real reason to trade.

I bought mine off the lot in 2021. I knew about that 25% of the value dropping from the Gladiator as soon as I drove it off the lot. It was a cultural thing as I had been a hardcore Toyota Fan. But, I knew after driving it on my first off road event, I was hooked. For me, it is kinda a niche and there is no other vehicle that can do what this (OEM equipped) Gladiator can do. And, this thing is loaded (minus the proximity locks and subwoofer). I don't intend to do anything more to it except replace the OEM sneakers for some 35 inchers. I did add a winch and the bumper over rider and some ditch lights. But, nearly stock and it beats out my OEM 2008 FJ Cruiser (Trail Teams) on just about any trail.

I'm keepin it!

As you can see in my signature, I have mine pretty well modded out. The 24s are not that much different from my 22. No plan s to do anything for a while so the resale value is not a factor for me. Things are going to change, hopefully slowly. My 22 will do down in value as it should. I've had it 2 years and have another 4 to go, then out. Paid cash for it and will the next.

I’m my own person, he didn’t “let” anything happen. I’ve been on this forum for years and we’ve been together for 5 years.. we don’t need to hide our finances from each other and we share a bank account. Thanks tho

I think you have bigger problems to worry about if your wife doesn’t know about how much you paid for yours
Besides, I no longer have my jt. Traded it in for something more comfortable I don’t have to modify

I would probably quit if my wife was to join any forum I am on.

For the record, I LOVED our JT. We got it together in 2019 and had many memories with it. My husband did so many modifications over the years and we had it exactly how we wanted to. It’s great if you use it for what it’s for but for us, his work schedule and so on, we never got time to really use and appreciate it the way that he has been able to in the past with his Wrangler. I also suffered a terrible work accident last year and have been out on disability ever since, awaiting surgery.. I quite literally could not get into his truck with a 3.5” lift and 38’s. It was absolutely awesome for the time that we had it but it was time to move on. (And of course we got another Jeep ?) I hope you all enjoy yours while you can!
