Trade in prices going up

[Caliguy]

My thought process is this, the 392 is eventually going away, the design refresh won’t get refreshed again so high likelihood this is it. Hard to tell if there will be a 2025 392.

so this 392 will likely hold its value! Will it be a $100k vehicle in 10 years? Probably not but it will get minimal depreciation and Youll have a ton of fun owning it.

I'll just wait for one of these broke Jeepers who can't pay their enormous loan anymore and low ball them for it when I’m ready for a new one.

I hope this applies to WK2 grand cherokees too because I need to trade mine in ASAP

No, it will depreciate like every other Jeep....keep in mind that I have one on order so it isn't sour grapes.

I’ve heard the hemi will hold it’s value several times from friends because everything is going electric (ugh). It’s tempting to believe, and could be right, I just couldn't pull the trigger for a car getting 13mpg when I think gas is going to go way up in the months/years to come. Of course then I got the XR and get only 17mpg, lol. Should have got the 392….

They're right. Gas is not going away in our lifetimes. As buyers are forced towards EVs over the coming decades, the best of the remaining gas vehicles will become more and more valuable.

Only while the current "older" generations are still alive. I'm in my early 40s and will always want to have a manual transmission gas engine, but as i age out of the market, those coming in will lean more towards EVs as everyday they become more and more common.

Not completely. When I was 16 I wanted a '69 Camaro. I agree that the "general" population is going to want what's new and cool. But we're talking about what will be a much smaller portion of the available pool of automobiles, so the remaining "older" population coupled with the percentage of younger people who appreciate classics will be more than enough. Furthermore, gas powered vehicles are not going away completely within our lifetimes...so the day when only 60+ year olds are interested in classic gas powered vehicles is 50+ years away.

Don't count on it. Probably so upside down on their loan that they wont be able to sell it. Bought a pickup a few years ago where the bank was days away from repoing. I made a lowball offer, bank accepted. I paid black book trade-in value and also got the transferable Max Care warranty the the PO had bought with a $100 deductible 70K 7 year warranty.

You might be right. In fact, the world will NEED people to have and use gasoline/diesel powered vehicles as long as we need to extract oil for the other 50% of things it's used for: lubricants, medicine, medical plastics and other devices, etc. The fuel part of oil is what's left over after refining so it needs to go SOMEwhere. Otherwise I suppose it would need to be burned off without benefit to anyone.?‍
