Shopping used, not seeing much movement on prices.

[91RubYJ]

I have been shopping used Gladiators (Mojave and Rubicon), looking for sub 40k mile jeeps.

I am finding most dealers want $40k+ for these trucks, but I can go buy a brand new one for $46k. Their argument is these trucks had a $60k+ sticker, but I imagine they were sold with the same deep discounts we are currently seeing, and I can't imagine they are paying anywhere near $40k resale for a truck with zero warranty remaining.

Is the market still this broken? I know COVID screwed everything up, have the dealers just gotten to used to clearing crazy margins?

I am shopping nearly nationwide, if I can get a cheap ticket there and drive home in a.day or so, it is in the running.

I got my 23 rubicon a few months ago for $35,000 before TTL in Wisconsin with 16,616 miles.

Used Wranglers and wrangler based vehicles have always been like that. A good deal on new often makes more sense. It's the only vehicle I’ve never bought used and I’ve had four. I often buy 1-2 yr old used.

There are a bunch widely available for sub-40 here in Alaska on, weirdly enough, Facebook Marketplace. But then again, Alaska.
