Coming from somebody working on the wholesale side of the auto industry, this shortage will not last a few months. It is predicted to return to "normal" in 2025. The supply chains have been hit hard, there are no materials, and most new manufacturing is moving very slow, if at all, because of this. If you can get buy without the Jeep by all means sell it, in fact those values are going up weekly on the used market. In 2018 I paid 29k for mine. Granted I have added at least 8k in upgrades, but I could get every dime back I put into it where I live. Not worth it for me, as I am in this for the long haul.Kelly Blue Book says my 2018 Sahara with every major option on it and only 6,200 miles is worth $45,000 to a dealer. I paid $38,000 four months before the pandemic hit.
I added about $3,500 in Katzkin leather seats and a Mopar lift.
I barely drive it. I am tempted to get the cash and run. Perhaps wait a few months for the market to cool off and see what else to get.
I still have the OE wheels and front bumper. I may swap the Quadratec wheels and steel bumper and sell them separately. I never got around to installing the winch.
Thoughts?
