I wonder if Stellantis does end up trying to sell off Jeep, Ram, etc. who would be the interested buyers. I do not see any American auto maker being involved so i don't know who it could be that would improve sales and service.

I can see VW buying Jeep and sticking them under their corporate umbrella. .

Yeah they would be big enough to afford it. I know they are bringing back Scout so i don't know how that would effect Jeep.

The longer Stellantis products suffer lot rot the more the prices will drop. If your in the market for a new Jeep and you can hold off your will be able to save a whole bunch of cash. The only downside might be if you have a trade as they are falling as well.

Stellantis has a big problem, first the economy is in the toilet, second they also have a real quality problem and I think many are thinking twice about purchasing their products. Plus now they have a high labor costs that just compounds the problem.

Yeah, the trade-in value on the 4xe's is like hemorrhaging cash. My 4xe trade-in when my lease is up will be upside down on the residual. My '18 JLU Sport S held it's value more than this Rubi 4xe. Luckily, I'm going to buy it as I really enjoy driving it but I thought for sure it would hold it's value better than this. Silly me.

Speaking of Jeep quality: there is an shocking number of Jeep WL-L (2022+ Grand Cherokee L) sitting on competitors' lots around here. The Nissan dealer has five; the Toyota dealer has three; the Honda, VW and Honda dealers have 1 each.

That is a lot of WL-Ls that have been traded in for something else in this small market.

I don't know what the underlying cause is, but it is certainly quite strange for vehicles that are only 1 or 2 years old.
The 21-22 atlantis high vehicles (grand cherokee, wagoneer, grand wagoneer) are absolute piles of unreliable trash. The amount of raw quality issues from horrendous build quality to numerous software bugs is truly astounding. The first year had faulty PLGM's that would drain the battery flat overnight as one of their dozens of issues. Not surprised owners dumped them.

I feel really bad for those who spend 100k+ on a grand wagoneer. They got scammed big time. Even to this day software plagues those models, especially the uconnect software. I must get 2-3 tickets a week of owners complaining about the constant freezing/restarts of their radio.

In Australia Jeep sales took a huge crap. On track for the worst showing in 20 years.
I am glad for it. Maybe they will finally wake up and understand that now that there is a lot of real competition, you cannot go around fucking your customers left and right and expect them to keep buying from you. Certainly not at the high price point Jeep is these days.

Unfortunately it's still not cheap enough.

Jeep Renegade base cost: $29,000
Fiat 500 base cost: $21,000

I don't know about you, I'm not going to spend $30,000 on a shitty square box, but $21,000 isn't a bad deal for a shitty square box.

I did the opposite. I let my lease 4xe go for surprisingly a base Ford Maverick. It had standard features and options that Jeep would make you jump trim levels for. Stellantis should also take note, LED headlights are standard even on this under $30k vehicle. Maybe once its paid off I will pickup a used 2 door JL or JK. But I can't see myself getting a new jeep vehicle anytime soon.

You were leasing so you arent as vested in the Jeep brand, more options but you're in a Ford Maverick. 😴
Jeep has different vehicles besides the Wrangler to fit a 30k budget.
We'll all be dead and Jeep will still be here.
