Default #1 in Resale Value!

Gotta love our JK's! KBB rated our beloved rigs #1 in resale value:

I've often wondered how mods play into resale value... do people actually buy modded jeeps?

How long did it take you to get that thing cleaned up? Test out the TW's yet? Good to hear about resale, but I plan on keeping mine for a hell of a long time.

I dont know, I sold my Dodge ram megacab last week for a $3500 proffit after driving it for 3 years adn 30K miles. Seems diesels have gone up over the last few years. I wonder if I will be able to do the same on the new 2012 JKU I am picking Saturday.

The TW's did good! Love the fact that they're fully greasable. Clocked 1k miles so far and no complaints. The tires and lift did awesome! Didn't get stuck in anything for once (except for when I decided to test out my snorkel and got stuck in the middle of a giant puddle lol) Jeep was fine though. Tough little machines.

Great pic of the little Sport that could: No Mall Crawler there! Now...why exactly did you feel compelled to go into that little puddle? Um....better check your diffs.

Default woot

I owned a 2004 Infinity FX 35, cost about $50,000. Traded for 2007 JK, got $24,000 for it. That piece of crap lost $25,000 value in 3 years.
My amazing 2007 may have lost $3,000 over the past 4 years. But I'll never know because i will never sell her!!!!!!!!!!!

One more reason to love jeep, as if i needed another

I did if the bottom wasn't all mush. A hard bottom and I would have driven up to the windshield thru it! Hell that's what snorkels are for
