Its tough to get money back from mods. You could start in the mid 20's.

Agree with this.
Although the JK is a hot item, and has been selling quickly off the lots, it will be shown with many other used JK's, most likely a few lease returns, and most of which will be stock. I know when I traded the wifes 99XJ on a new 07 JK back in Oct 06, it was stock except for the wheels and tires. First thing the dealership asked me was do I still have the original wheels and tires. Her XJ had low milage. Since I had the stock wheels and tires, they gave me top dollar. Had I not had the originals, they would have given me $1000 less on trade in.
I would say if you plan on selling it to a private party, I would start at mid twenty's like ZoSo said.
At any rate, prior to selling, especially to a dealership, invest in a detail including an engine and undercarrage steambath.

I would figure out what KBB trade-in is, and then what the price of a new one is, and target that delta.

KBB should be you bottom #, and the other # will help you steer clear of the folks wondering if for a few more $$$ why wouldn't they go new with a warranty.

When figuring out the new # I would use 1% below invoice, as these deals can be had, and with 2011 orders now going in, dealers will soon be working on 'moving' their on lot inventory.

Question: Are you updating to another JK, or just trying something else out?

2 car seats will fit back there no problem!

If you want to sell it ....I would put it back to stock and sell off the aftermarket parts.

Tough to sell it with all the mods.


Never been offroad? With those mods and you didnt try it out? Take it off road first!!!!!.... you won't want to get rid of it!

i love my 2010 sport unlimited is not the best car on gas but is fun as hell to drive it you should just make it stock and trade it for a 2010 with power windows and think is the 24s package or just way a few months and get a 2011 the 70th year anniversary

Take your stuff off and put them on a 2010 or '11 auto with all the buttons.
Then add a 4" lift, 5.38's and 37's and you will forget how hot
it is over there in Bama-land.

Dude... seriously, I have fought thru this before.
But I just cant seem to sell the damn thing.

Good luck
