Don't buy a car for resale value. Buy to enjoy. I think most cars bought now will tank in value in the next 5 years, because (these are my opinions): 1. we're one or two technological leaps from electric drivetrains that go 1000 miles on a charge and be charged in 15 minutes. It's...

Look at Sept 2017 vs Sept 2018 sales. About flat. 15,714 vs 15,983 wranglers sold Look at Oct 2017 vs Sept 2018 sales. Down a tiny bit. 13,391 vs 13,318 wranglers sold. This is a pretty abrupt deceleration in sales from previous months. There could be any number of reasons.

I'm not so sure feature-stuffing and appealing to a broader set of customers is going to make the old jeeps go down in value. As an example, mid-late-80s porsche 911's used to sell for $25k in nice shape 10 years ago. Now we have these paradigm-shifted new 911s watercooled (996, 997, 991)...

Anyone know of Sept and October's sales numbers were constrained by supply or demand? Wranglers are still niche vehicles and sooner or later the market is going to be saturated with people willing to pay a premium to get their hands on a JL and sales will probably settle down into past...

last month the Aug 2018 JL sales were over 20% over the Aug 2017 JK sales. this is a huge month-to-month slow down, with Sept 2018 sales just about the same as Sept 2017. I know this isn't too popular of an opinion, but I think Jeep was pretty conservative in the redesign and it won't attract...

this was a dealer ad, btw

I noticed on craigslist a 2014 2-door JK sport offered at $23k. 45k miles, looks stock and clean. in 2014, these were MSRPing at $22,395. So even with a few options and a discount, this 4 year old car has lost maybe only a few thousand dollars (assuming the seller gets close to asking)...

is the 2.0T a direct injection engine? DI engines tend to be noisy in a way that is not unlike diesels

which one of these products offers the best sound deadening?

I was joking. but maybe? ;)

So much for freedom. We have to make ourselves small and inconspicuous to the police state. I find this repugnant.

on another brand's diesels, the particulate filter will clog and fail prematurely if it is only driven on short trips. $3000 part I think.

A power washer will fix that up, clean as a whistle :)

and since the Ranger is pretty gigantic, it seems likely it's going to be a bloated barge.

a fella could drive over a miata on one side...

man, you gotta be kidding me. some car makers started reversing the trend and making these smaller and pocketable. whyyyyyyy

I rode in a Fiat 500 Convertible that had this exact same kind of sliding power accordion top (smaller scale, of course), and it really didn't feel like a convertible - more like a giant sunroof. I think people should definitely try before they buy with this.

I guess "getting reamed on option pricing" is a jeep thing now, too.

A key is the difference between a man's car and something pussied up. Really? REAL men use crank starters on their cars. You must be a real nancy boy twisting a key and letting that electric motor do all the work.

jeep will make some of these options incrementally standard in future model years to keep the sales rolling. it's a game as old as time. though kia is known for stuffing their cars with standard features.
