yeah... it is unlikely anyone would account for that.That's been my experience with Vroom. First quote was $40K on my 2018 Sahara. It went down to $38k and today was back up to $40k. The problem with Vroom is they don't account for extras. My Sahara has Rubi wheels, tires, Mopar steel bumper and aluminum side steps (about $3k).
I got offered slightly more than I paid for my sport S by Vroom so I could sell and buy a new one, but I would end up losing anyway because of taxes/license/fees. Sure I would have a brand new Jeep, but at 2 years old my Jeep is hardly old. So I am keeping it. It is good to know it keeps its value, so when the time comes to sell in about 5 years I'll get some of the money back.
I thought about trading for a Rubicon. I would only sell if I really needed to, or if it made more financial sense. At this point it doesn't really, upgrading it becomes more cost effective. I am looking for at least 4k in taxes/title/fees if I went Rubicon + the extra 12k or so, add to that the 3k I paid in taxes when I bought it. It makes no sense. I can get front/rear lockers for 3k.
My sport MSRP = 39K
I paid = 31.5k (before taxes/titles/fees)
Vroom offer = 32k
