Jeep Wrangler Prices

[DallasSteve]

I'm thinking about buying a Jeep Wrangler as a towed vehicle behind a motorhome. My first thought was to buy one a few years old to save some money. So I looked up the price for a 2014 Jeep Wrangler 4X4 with automatic transmission and 36,000 miles on NADA. It says the retail price should be $23,000. That seemed high so I wanted to see how much is the same car new. I went to Jeep and priced a new 2018 with 4X4 and automatic transmission: $26,500. That's before any negotiation so I'm thinking I can get a little bit off that price at a dealer; maybe $25,000 out the door. Who would pay $23,000 for the same car 4 years old? What am I missing here?

In some states (especially Montana), taxes, title transfer, and registration fees are not included in the purchase price. The seller does not collect them. The buyer has a period of time (40 days, here) to get the paperwork done at the DMV office. The dealer prints a temporary registration good for 40 days. A private party seller takes his license plates off the vehicle, and the signed/notarized title and/or Bill Of Sale is the temporary registration.

And taxes and registration vary widely too, so price before taxes and registration makes more sense.

Jeeps vary widely in price depending on the options and model. Last year in Los Angeles there were base model Jeep Cherokees that were new but last year's model going for under 17k.

We just bought our first Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Willys to tow behind the motorhome. Loved the looks, rides great, really towable and I got a 2018 that listed at $40,518 for 36K even. Took a little negotiating and even walked out once, but near Raleigh, NC they are selling like hotcakes. I also looked at used, 1-3 year olds, but prices were near what I bought new for. About to retire and hit the road.

palme1,
May I ask, is that "$36K" with or without taxes? Or, should I ask it this way, was that OUT THE DOOR pricing?

This seems to be happening with a lot of desirable vehicles. It is a function of demand. Vehicles last a lot longer now. I agree that there is some impetus to buy new. But a vehicle that doesn't get used much, there is also incentive to buy an older one that has been taken care of. 50, 75 or even 100 k miles is no big deal if the previous owner took care of it.

I just went and looked at them....wow. Upper 40s to 50K. So expensive!

There's a price point for everyone. Maybe you didn't look hard enough. One can buy them all day long under $40,000.
