80k for a v8 jeep is still 50k over priced

There is nothing special about this v8.
You're thinking you can buy a similarly equipped, similarly capable new vehicle with a v8 for $30k?

They should do a "the last leadership group screwed up so here's a great deal to put a 5.7 in your existing JLs for a fantastic price!" sale because it would be awesome and I'm not quite fully broke just yet.
The “The last leadership group screwed up so here's a great deal to put a 5.7 in your existing JLs for a fantastic price! Final Edition”? Where do I sign?

I'm going to knock over a grandma on Black Friday at the Jeep dealer to get one for 40k. 👵

My first Wrangler had an original MSRP of $14k. The idea of spending $80k or more on a vehicle as simple as a Wrangler is mind blowing to me.

Inflation hurts, but you have to admit it's a significant drop in price.

It is. $30k more decrease and it would be fair.

As somebody pointed out in one of the other 50 threads about this topic, the upcharge to 392 Hemi on other vehicles has traditionally been $2k to $8k, including 2026 Durango.

Jeep is raping buyers because people are dumb enough to let them.

I'm not sure where you've been, but you're thinking the top end Wrangler should be $50k? The Moab was more than that back in 2018.

welcome to inflation of recent years. We all have these examples. I bought a Subaru outback in 2005 for $21K out the door. Same car today runs in the $40K range. 4 banger, AWD base car with cloth seats. This is the reality we are all facing.
