Sign me up for a 3.0 diesel manual!I wish i was testing the depreciation rate of a JLU Rubicon 3.0L manual transmission with the top down.
we bought my wife’s Jeep “new” with 3,488 miles on it, got 25% off MSRP from AutoNation because it was used in their CTP program... I got about 15% off MSRP on my “new” 2018 with 57 miles on it.This is a very important point. Residual vs. MSRP is a meaningless stat, but I believe that is what the rankings track. If so, it's actually the half ton pickups that are the 'slowest depreciating', because you can get insane discounts on them (20% isn't unusual during those 'Red Tag' or whatever sales).
Good luck getting better than 10% off a Wrangler or Taco.
My local Toyota dealership just put 3 2019 Sahara JLU’s on their lot..My question is "why?". Personally, I would avoid a one year old Jeep being sold. My first thought is something is wrong. My dealer also has a Rubicon some guy traded in on another Jeep. I asked what's wrong with it and he says nothing, the guy just wanted more options.
See, I have the same thought - practically brand new (less that 2-3K miles) and it's traded in and now for sale somewhere. You have to think why? Why would anyone get rid of a vehicle so fast unless it had issues. I know there is always the case where the couple gets a small car or something and then finds out the wife is having twins and they have to get a minivan or something, but honestly, how often does that happen? I think anybody with any financial sense would realize they are going to take a huge hit by trading/selling something that fast. I just wonder what the percentage of getting rid of something because of factors not related to it is, verses getting rid of it because it's crap.
As a consumer, I'd be really scared to get a "new" vehicle that someone just got rid of unless I knew the real reason why.
I rode a Harley for a long time. There are a lot of almost new low mileage Harleys for sale, I bought a couple. I think some people buy Harleys and Jeeps because they are Harleys and Jeeps. A short time later they realize they are not Harley or Jeep people and sell their ride.See, I have the same thought - practically brand new (less that 2-3K miles) and it's traded in and now for sale somewhere.

Slip out that back Jack,make a new plan Stan,........................get yourself free .......I used to be a marriage counselorI get that - as a 60 year old, I've wanted a motorcycle most of my life. But, I always chickened out from actually buying one. I spoke with my closest cousin about that (he rides a Harley) and he asked me if I was getting any younger? I would hate to be one of those old farts that gets a bike and through inexperience/slower relexes - crashes and instead of a nice quick death, lives for years unable to take care of himself. I know, that can happen just crossing the street or slipping in the shower (done that- cracked ribs!) but for me, I feel like with my luck, I've already used up all my free passes growing up. However, I'm currently in a marriage I hate, living with a woman I can't trust and getting a bike and making new friends may be my salvation.
