Who is actually buying used?

[JTBurns]

Wranglers have among the best resale value of any vehicle, trucks, in general, hold their value better than most vehicles. This vehicle is both, and most used out there are close to the price of new. There may be a few deals out there on used, but I'd say buy new.

Mines used. i got a sport s max tow, 7inch display, and cold weather package. The original sticker prices was just under 46k i got it for 37k. So it was a big enough drop for me. It had 22,000 miles, but its a certified pre owned so the power train was extended to 100k miles and the bumper to bumper was pushed to 38k miles.

We've has something happen locally that is unusual for us.
People ask us (strangers) how we like ''this truck''. My usual quick answer is, have you ever had a jeep or a pickup? While they ponder the question, I smile & make my get away.

This only happens when we are out in our sidecar.

@jaytea you get a plywood award. Very interesting stuff. Thank you. Gotta be internal incentives in answer to your question. We would almost have to know the historical rhythm of niche market vehicle ownership curve to see how JT compares. Which one of these markers signifies the future barn find? Which one of these markers indicates the future ho-hum recycled at 200K models? And at what mileage can I get a 4190LE for 25K OTD!!

I bought mine used 1600 mi, on Trucktrader. Already had Clayton 2.5, 37, Falcon, and 17K in receipts. for other stuff. Bumpers, Wench, 67, Now 10K and perfect. Still smiling. Not much over sticker. Just a wealthy guy.

What really chaps my ass -- you find this truck -- looks great, has potential.. it's been on the lot for a while.. and when you call about it -- it just sold this morning, but they got a lot full of new trucks..

B you just opened 10 minutes ago.

When I was looking to buy the new ones were cheaper than the used ones. That was at the end of September

I got lucky in January 2020. I picked up a used Overland with all the trimmings interior wise for $32K, It had 1700 miles on it. The story from the dealer was the guy bought it without telling his wife and tried to make it work for a month or two. They had 3 young kids so he ended trading it in for a, wait for it, mini-van. Ouch!

Thats as much as I got on trade in for my 2017 RUBICON JK. Thats the deal of the century!

Ever wondered how colorful the Gladiator used market is?

Color	# of units
Billet Silver Metallic Clear Coat	382
Black Clear Coat	539
Bright White Clear Coat	578
Firecracker Red Clear Coat	298
Gator Clear Coat	46
Gobi Clear Coat	57
Granite Crystal Metallic Clear Coat	101
Hydro Blue Pearl Coat	65
Punk'n Metallic Clear Coat	37

So, is that saying us Snazzberry Pearl owners keep our rides, or there just aren't that many with our color?

The more probable answer is that they didn't make that many. You would have to divide this number by total number of units produced in the color to know the truth , and then divide by number of total units ever produced for that year

 

[jaytea]

"Snazzberry Pearl Coat" is a color only offered in 2021.

601 new units on the lots nation wide.
6 Used units on the lots nation wide.

versus something like "Sting-Gray Clear Coat" for 2021

832 new units on the lots nation wide.
6 used units on the lots nation wide.

Give me a second - I'll drop the color popularity numbers in a bit.

I'm pretty sure the used Sting Gray were 131, not 6.

 

[jaytea]

131 was collective # of units USED, or CPO for 2020 and 2021.
6 is the current total of used 2021 units in Sting-Gray Clear Coat
or 125 units for 2020....

The number reported above, 95, does not include CPO - but explicitly "USED".

Well I was looking at new Mojave’s all up and down the East cost for one with the options I wanted , found a bunch , then I stumbled upon a used one with 2K miles and and a small dent in rear bumper , exact color I wanted, optioned the way I wanted , 12k off sticker , I jumped on it , I can live with the first dent being put on by someone else
