Technically you would owe capital gains if you made a profit or in this case I would probably be just added income because you did not keep it for a year. The thing is you could deduct all your "expenses". For a few thousand dollars I doubt the IRS would ask too many questions.
not sure how "overpriced" they are considering I'm paying less for a loaded Sahara 4xe with the rebate than I would for its twin in a strictly gas configuration... and you get better looking (IMO) rims on the 4xe than the standard sahara
In the future I think they’ll offer one, as battery technology improves it’ll be easier to fit a smaller battery that offers even more range in the 2 door. I’m selling my car as soon as my Wrangler gets delivered so as a daily driver the 4Xe makes a lot of sense but the smaller tank, lack of 2 door and all that extra weight kind of kill it for me. I imagine in 5-6 years the 2 door plug in Hybrid will have over 30 miles of range.
What you're describing isn't form. There are some of these that have been having issues with with failure of the electric heater and it will lock you out of electric only use, but you should be getting an error message that says "Electric Mode unavailable. Cabin heating or cooling." It may or may not trigger a check engine light to go with it.
Everybody over the past two years has been making money reselling cars. That doesn't really say anything. Given the complications of the 4XE and its poor launch, it's doubtful to say it will age well which correlates with worse resale. Resale can be properly judged when the market becomes somewhat normal again.
"its poor launch" -my 4xe has a great launch with the Hybrid mode and 4wdAuto, thank you very much! HAHAHA.
Well, I think the problem is that some of the 4xe's are FAR too frequently going into FORM mode because of mechanical/electrical/software (pick one or all) problems. Mine rarely (like once every month for about a minute) did that until this fall, and then the battery coolant pump failed and the 4xe could not be driven (both Jeep corporate and the dealer said bad things happen to the battery if you do that), and even after that was fixed, it went into FORM mode almost constantly because a "battery coolant heater" failed. Ugh. Backordered. No ETA. Chrysler corporate customer support is trying to help. Ugh again.
Well, we didn't go 75 since we were towing a 3000lb travel trailer (with similar brick-like aerodynamics), but we averaged about 26MPG on a trip to central Oregon and back, charging the battery about half the days (when we weren't boon docking).
