Hey all,
I've been looking around trying to get into a 2-door JL. Have been looking at both new and used. If you've looked at prices recently, you'll know that they are crazy. 2019 Sport S JLs with 20k miles have depreciated like 1-2%, so it makes almost no sense to buy used and instead buy new - but new Sport S's are $40-$45k.
I've found a new wrangler with only 2k miles on it that has 20 months remaining on its lease. Lease payments are $360, so it's about $7.2k for almost 2 years of use.
I want to buy a wrangler eventually, but the latest inflation data (CPI) just came out today, and they said 1/3 of the inflation happening in the country right now is happening in automobiles. It just seems like if you're buying now, you're buying at the peak.
Is taking over someone else's lease for 20 months, for about $7k, a terrible idea?
