I track these at Auction. Wholesale supply is way up on 392s and a lot of dealers are caught with too much money in them. The books are dropping accordingly. I don't think a low mileage unit will drop under 60k but they are trending to that level.

Dealership replaced the engine in my 22 after it blew, I sold it to them after getting tired of the jeepcares, fca, and dealership run around and waiting. Dealership did not disclose that repair to the next buyer.

Only reason I know that is (I) received a call from the new owner's lawyer asking about the history.
Mm. I wonder if a vehicle's previous owner is otherwise compelled to respond to such inquiries. I'm not saying I wouldn't; I'm just curious about implied obligations.

In addition to the above, should check to see if the engine has been replaced among other things. Dealership replaced the engine in my 22 after it blew, I sold it to them after getting tired of the jeepcares, fca, and dealership run around and waiting. Dealership did not disclose that repair to the next buyer. Only reason I know that is received a call from the new owner's lawyer asking about the history. Sounded like the dealership did not do a great job pulling and replacing the engine and it was giving the new owner trouble.
How do you go about doing this?

There was no requirement for me return their lawyer's call. He left enough on the voicemail to lead me to think he was going to go after someone (dealership and or fca). After the lack of customer service I was more than willing to help and hope someone fried someone. :)

There is nothing wrong with a used Wrangler, just make sure that you look it over and drive it before buying it. I also would take out the extended MOPAR Warranty policy on it.
