Angry Trade in Value

Just for fun I brought my 07 Jeep 2 Door X to the STEALERSHIP to see what they would give as a trade in on my jeep. They offered me $15,000.00 for the jeep. Are they F***ing crazy.

I have fun just driving through the lot to watch them come running out, but I don't stop. Too bad my dealerships closed up.

They offered my 16 for an 08 hardtop with the locker/swaybar and new rubi tires.....I wasn't even near tempted to trade up...Who would? I don't understand. I'd listen more around 22-23K....

Well what did you pay for it in 07? I know the new price has gone up since 07 and the value drops the most during the first year / few thousand miles of ownership.

Also, what could they sell it for? They are going to add in their cut.

I paid under 15k for mine in July 08 with 10k on the odometer. I might trade up if they gave me more than what I originally paid for my JK. I've added some components since I bought mine.

Sad thing is, if you took the trade and they gave you 16K, they would probably have it on their lot the next week asking around 20K for it.

I bought my 08 2dr in Dec 07 and paid 19,000 otd, I just traded it in on an 09 4dr and they gave me 18,500 for it. I couldn't have done better if I tried.
