05 TJ Unlimited's Values?

poissonverte · 07-26-2007, 09:03 AM

Im probably going to sell this (after such a short time), hows the value of selling these things now (end of summer)?? Ive seen other posts at the beginning, but am curious whats up nowadays.

Hopefully, this falls under the technical forum. Not really general..

05 Unlimited auto 4.0? Nada says 17k trade-in, retail 18k. However, with all the new JK's out there, im just not sure if its hurting their resale or not.

t bought a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited down in Houston (beacuse they are about $2500-3500 cheper there) about 3 weeks ago.
Its an automatic w/ 19,000 miles on it, 4" lift kit and a full on Hard Top.

Paid $18,750 for it. They started the bidding @ $22,500

However, In Denver they cant keep the things on the lot becasue they are so popular and the dealerships pay top dollar for them.

Good luck!

Hmm. A Trade-in at the dealer I may get hosed, but i can see what they offer on it since im looking for a cheaper replacement. Thanks for the info.

How much ya owe?

04 in San Antonio 14K miles $15,500. Execellent condition after market wheels. I guess that was cheap. Listed at dealer for 18K.

Here in Fl, prices have risen slightly in the last few months, ariound here 17500 to 20K would be reasonable, depending if it's a trade, or private sale. I bought an 05 auto 8500 mi for 18k in March. I haven't seen a comparible deal anywhere near here since then.

If you have only owned it a short time a trade in would prolly be a bad idea. YOu may be stuck with it but at least your stuck with a jeep instead of a H3

Stuck... with... a Jeep? Does not compute! Isn't that like being "stuck" with a DD blonde who's old, rich father owns a brewery?

Owe 16.5 on it. Breaking even on selling is probably what im looking for. Loose out on taxes of course. Payments plus gas and insurance is killing me.
