What do yall think my Gladiator is worth?

[Hootbro]

Obviously by me saying I got 45k is not the same as 50k so you could have answered your own question without bothering with the condescending question.

Sorry you feel that way, was not my intention but sometimes tone and inflection gets lost when writing things out vs. verbal.

So sounds like a made out good getting away from the jeep community

Best wishes.

You asked on the JT forum, where we pretty much all know you can get a brand new rubicon or mojave for what you estimated your used sport was worth. I'm not about to doubt you found someone uniformed enough to simply look at msrp of a new one and think $45k was a deal. I guarantee if he joins this forum after his new purchase he'll have some serious buyers remorse but that's not your problem. You got more than it was reasonably worth in the current market. That doesn't change the facts. Congrats on the sale.

No need to get emotional and start name-calling. It's just that people are buying brand new 2024 and 2025 Rubicons and Mojaves for the price he supposedly got for a used Sport, so it's human nature to be skeptical of the math.

Yeah, I paid 10k more and got a 25 JTMX full warranty. Could have done a 24 for less than my 25 but not in my color choice

I just assumed the buyer paid the seller $10K cash, then financed $35K with a bank (or some other combination of numbers).

Financed price is never the full price of a vehicle. There's always down payments (and/or trade-ins, at a dealership).

And here you have to deal with sales tax, including when you sell one, the buyer pays the state that sales tax upon title transfer

Vehicle value threads almost never go the way someone expects them to go. Just too many variables. Opinions are cheap, finding the person to cut the check is another story.

You got to find the buyer that just wants turn key and those are few and far between. They are assuming liability for your mods and bear that burden should it go sideways as the dealership will not touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Another thing to consider is your larger tires won’t be looked at as an asset if your financing or someone is financing the vehicle because the vehicles gotta have tires on it anyway. Changing the gears will get you no more money or value at a bank, especially if you didn’t elect to put lockers in it at the time of the install. Essentially any added value, you’re trying to give to your mods a banker will not lend on those so your buyer needs to have cash for the offset in any perceived value..

I have a 24 overland. Unless they tricked me

This is why you got the feedback you did and why your mad about it. Guess the buyer now has a not “Overland” Sport.

Comments like these always make me shake my head. What is the point of this? Do you believe the forums feelings will be hurt by you leaving? Is it one last childish “nanny nanny boo boo sticks to you like glue” thing?

Bit of advice, if its causing that much aggravation, edit your original comment and delete it. That way you won’t get any more comment notifications and we can continue on down the road. When you get to the “reason for deleting” question feel free to say we were big bullies about the value of your not “Overland” Sport.

And FYI this place is absolutely tame compared to sites like pirate4x4

After two weeks on marketplace. My gladiator sold for 45k to a private seller. They were able to get a loan as well. So for anyone coming to this thread for advice on selling theirs, don’t let the nay sayers discourage you.

There are always 'one-offs' out there. The exact right person at the right time who was willing to pay above a normal price because things timed out right and they wanted THAT one

So the buyer paid for the accessories and modification so they wouldn't have to do it themselves.

Same thing with dealers adding a lift, tires, winch and adding 15k to the price. They eventually sell. Around here the dealer sits on them a while, but they will sell.

So banks are lending more than book value for used vehicles... Interesting. That flies directly in the face of the tightened lending requirements that have been all over the news the past 6 months+ due to lenders taking an absolute bath on COVID era inflated prices and loans.

Buyer probably put like $10k down. Or it’s all made up to “save face”. People are weird and this guy is obviously a loose cannon with how he lashed out and started calling people poor and crap like that.

Supposedly. Yeah i got on here just to lie and get all yalls feathers in a ruffle
I asked for advice on selling and got ridiculed
I sell for more than what yall thought and im a liar.

nah, you just gotta ignore many. You do you man. Per book values it prob was high compared to what new goes for, but the people that beat other people down just kills me. Im dealing with the same thing on a certain pet forum because I lacked little knowledge and made a mistake leading to the death of the baby amphibian.

Ignore the lamies, soak in the info from the genuines.

Did you feel attacked? I cant say i grouped you personally. I even called myself a part of the group. Are you in?

 

[ShadowsPapa]

No way I'd want to be that buyer if they got a loan for the full asking price. If they are in an accident and it's totaled, the insurance will go by the FMV of the vehicle at the time, not what the bank loan is.
The buyer must have crazy great credit to get a loan like that for over market value - LTV is horrible in that case.
He's got negative equity right out of the gate, up-side-down and in my experience, interest rates on used vehicles are greater than on new - although if it's a 24, it might not be different, depending on the bank. Some lump 1 year old in with new.
Buyer must have some bucks, as they are in a horrible spot right now. (unless he knows that and has riders on the policy to cover the added stuff)

You think they are in a horrible spot, but they are driving this thing now and probably smiling.

Until they realize how much they overpaid, or God forbid it's stolen or in a major accident. Ignorance is only bliss if you remain ignorant.
