Word of advice. Mods/accessories/add-ons aren't usually worth anything to a dealership when you are trading in. If it didn't come with the vehicle, don't include it in the trade. Either remove the items and sell independently or sell the vehicle privately to someone willing to pay for the vehicle as is.

^^ What @jludave said. You MAY get a small bump from a dealer on a trade in, but no where near what you have in it. Either remove the add-ons and sell them separately or sell the Jeep as is yourself.

Remove all mods before you sell to the dealer. Most dealers will actually offer you less for a modded vehicle.

I’ll probably sell it to an individual, the better question is what is a good asking price?

I would at least get a baseline dealership cash price (Carvana, Carmax, Vroom, etc.). Who knows in todays market, but I would think private party at the price range you're in would significantly limit your buyer pool.

Whatever someone is willing to pay.

Truthfully, with the mods you've added, you can ask for whatever you think is fair. But in the end, the final price will be what the buyer is willing to pay for the vehicle and how you modified it.

Good starting point......Blue Book + 5K

Thanks everyone lots of good info here!

You could put it on Bring a Trailer and set the price that you're willing to accept. It's a lengthy process, though - they'll make you have the car professionally photographed from every conceivable angle (or you could do it yourself - have a look at the photos on other cars that they have listed). Or, list it in all the usual places and see what you get for it.

On the down side, if you would have listed it a few months ago when 392s were impossible to order, you would have gotten whatever you asked for it (within reason). Now, you'll probably get somewhere around MSRP for it.

The mods are totally dependent on the buyer. If the buyer wants them, then they'll pay for them. If they don't, then you're way better off just bringing the car back to stock and selling the mods individually.

I was thinking that, when I checked BaT, they just had a AEV 370 392 not make reserve end at under 80k.

I was going to suggest $8-10K over current blue book, and only sell private party. Even w/o the mods, I bet you could get someone to pay that for a 392. Depending on your area, they can be hard to find.

Having said that, I'm also not opposed to what some people have suggested about taking the mods off (that you can) and selling those separately. Would still put the jeep up for $8-10K over blue book though. If someone bites, you could always use the mods as a way to sweeten the deal if you need to negotiate. "What if I throw in an LP6...?"

 

[AcesandEights]

As an example, the only thing that would add value to me as a prospective buyer is the 4.88 and winch. Anything else would be a detriment to the value. So, if it were me, I'd KBB it at good or very good and then deduct 10% for the stuff I don't like about your build.

You have to realize too that your price, if more than KBB, will be close to new. If it were me, I'd much rather have a new vehicle with no mods than $10k in mods I don't like.

Another thing I forgot to mention is timing is everything. Right now, anyone can go and order a '23 392 for under invoice. Things have softened, interest rates are high, and the economy is crap. If it were me, I'd keep it for a year, or until Jeep stops taking orders for 392s again, and then sell it. It's very highly unlikely that 392s will be available after '23. In fact, it's a bit of a miracle that Jeep is still selling them in '23.

A dealer near me made out like a bandit. He had a 392 XR get delivered right when Jeep stopped taking orders, he listed it for around $160k, and he got it. Then, a few weeks later the '23 orders opened up again, and he breathed a sigh of relief because he would have had to sell it for around MSRP. The buyer probably feels like a dumb ass.
