There are exceptions but I'd buy new if I needed a car today. I would pass on a used Wrangler or any other used car now. 100% the safer bet is to buy a NEW Wrangler at a good discount.
Used prices are nuts. Some people will get hurt bad when the car market returns to normal. Anyone buying a used car today will be in deeper water as far as residual value when the market returns to normal. For a JL, figure 30% depreciation in addition to the normal depreciation.
Most new Wranglers "ON THE LOT" might be discounted less today because it's available NOW. Anyone "needing" a vehicle "today" will probably pay closer to MSRP for the convenience. I have actually seen over MSRP.
Different story for someone who can afford to wait for a ordered vehicle. Someone can definitely still get a healthy discount from one of the forum dealers mentioned if they are willing to wait and or travel. 3%-5% under invoice with Affiliate or Tread Lightly should be pretty easy and common. 6%, 7%, 8% under invoice is not as common but very possible . Maybe a little more travel and time. Just weigh your personal time and effort to see if it's worth the return.
