Should I stay or should I go?

[CampThree]

Keep the Gator colored Jeep, upgrade the suspension and your all set. With that low of mileage it's almost new.

Not sure when your lease is up but you could maybe see what you can get if you were to sell it. If it doesn't sell strip the lift and other accessories before you turn it in. Also if you buy it out will you pay cash? Financing a used car right now is pretty expensive as far as interest rates go.

I thought that video was going to be The Clash
Should I Stay or Should I Go from 1982.

I am so old.

With that low miles they are going to want it back for sure. They will make at least 5-10k on a resale
I would buy it out and sell it myself and use the profit for my next purchase

So in theory there most likely are a few people out there that would pay 35k for this but that would require me to take the risk of unloading the 30k (maybe a little more after taxs) out of my bank, wait for the title, meet random people to show it and test drive it with them. Just not sure its worth it. If I had a hard offer for 40 I would do it but just not sure who would pay that when you can get a new one for that price

Another thing to consider, is a lot of leasing companies do not take kindly to modified vehicles... you need to look over the terms in your lease agreement...

I've thought about that, I need to take a look at the lease but since its all factory options im not sure why they would be mad.

I understand where you got the $63K number, but right now the only question is would you buy the Gladiator as it sits for $30K, which is sounds like you would. In that case I'd be buying it. I'm pretty confident you could sell it for more than $30K right now, even in this market if that's what you wanted to do.

I agree with this. Buy it, then sell it privately imo. Stock looking Sports with less than 20k miles in my area are listed in the $34k-37k range.

Your JT has very tasteful mods unlike some used ones I’ve seen. There’s not much about it that will steer most jeep buyers away unless they don’t like climbing into tall trucks or need to tow heavy.

I've put a for sale ad on a few forums and some local spots and I haven't had a bit which makes me nervous. Where would you put it for sale?

I would try Facebook Marketplace too. I guess given the Gladiator market in general, it could be tough selling like others mentioned.

Is the juice worth the squeeze I guess like Mad Mac mentioned ha.

I think its a beautiful truck and had some great times with it just think I need to learn my lesson and maybe move on, I will say this. I really appreciate all you guys taking the time writing back. I posted this on the Gladiator reddit page and good lord were people sensitive there. Very tribal and loyal to the Jeep brand. Its as if they were taking this as a personal attack. I appreciate everyone being level headed here and can just have a conversation about it.

And you'll be back... if not for Jeep, all you'll have to spend money on are hookers and drugs...

It looks like a sweet ride. I cannot really comment on the financial part because you have to be happy with what you choose and it is never always price. I just Love driving my Jeep. My family makes fun of me. If there is a big shoulder on the road, I am half in the dirt.
