So I just drove a friends 2012 4door....I loved it. Trying to decide if I should trade in my '08. Here is the run down. I have a 3" TF spring and shock lift with 1.5" spacers. 34" Goodyear Duratracs. As well as Rugged Ridge XHD front and rear bumpers.

Wondering if anyone knows if my tires would fit on a non-lifted 2012. I know there is plenty of stuff out there about fitting or not fitting with spacers/rubbing or what not. Also wondering if anyone has done a trade-in and had equipment transferred.

Kind of trying to get some information before I go talk to the stealership, I mean dealership.

For more information on what I have on my Jeep see my sig.

I tried to trade my 07 for a 10 a few years back and the dealers trade vs me selling it outright myself was $4000. I sold it ordered from a different dealer and used the extra money for new tires wheels and lift. They offered 16k I got 20k in just two days of being on CL.

It might be a bit of a hassle but its always better to sell it yourself and get top dollar for it. Your much better off.

I was afraid of this.... So they will be a few grand off of KBB...

Sell it yourself. They're called Stealerships for a reason!!!

I sold my 2011 Rubi for $8000 more than the local dealer offered for trade-in and bought a new 2012 Sport for $4k under sticker. It's always a good idea to sell outright if you can. On the new ones, deals are out there if you look around. Check the new "car" sections of autotrader.com and cars.com for a radius you are willing to drive for a deal. Some dealers even use eBay to advertise new Jeeps. You can get a brand new Sport with A/C and a 3.73 rear end for under $20,000 right now.

That would be outstanding. I guess I need to shop around and then start pricing mine for what I should sell it for. One thing that I am kind of annoyed with is that the 4-Door colors...Are pretty lame for the 2012..

Thanks for the info. Just wanted to check with you guys since you have a lot more experience than I do with regards to this. I love my Jeep, but the Horsepower and the MPG just seems to enticing.

I'm guessing $18 ish is what your gonna get offered on your JKU Sahara

But is also depends what you can get a dealer to come off the sticker on a 12 or 13

$18,000ish from the dealer?

Just FYI Less than 50,000 miles, 6 month old tires, brand new brakes.
