I'm looking at getting a Wrangler to drive for a year and half and then give it to my daughter when she turns 16. I found a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Altitude with 60,000 miles for $19,500. Does that seem pretty close to the going rate on these things?

2015 Jeep Wrangler Altitude Sahara 4x4 - cars & trucks - by owner -...

Thanks

Thats a ton of money for a car with a rebuilt title. Just sayin.

Wranglers hold their value like crazy. You probably won't want to give it away and decide to keep it.

Saharas are nice and around here a 2015 would be 19k-20k ish.

2015s are popular. Have quite a few buddy's who have that year.

Didn't even notice that.

Somewhere on here is a thread about rebuilt titles and the issues they present, insurance, inspections, electrical, diminished value, shoddy work. Etc.

I'm a no go on rebuilt titles unless it was something dirt cheap.

Jeeps do hold their value amazingly well. My wife had a 97 Wrangler we paid $7500 for that was totaled (not her fault), the insurance paid out over $9K for it. We had it for 4 years and it had over 155K miles on it. It was a normal Wrangler TJ with a lift and big tires, no winch, nothing extra really.
Her 2016 Wrangler Rubicon is probably still worth what we paid for it last year ($32K). This thing is nice! It has a big lift, 35's, winch, steel bumpers, hard top, full doors, nice interior.

Pics?
If I like driving it maybe I'll get a Rubicon for me after giving one to my daughter.

A friend of mine has a Gladiator and I finally sat in it this past weekend and it was more roomy than I expected.

I'm at work today, I'll get some pictures of it though. They are fun to drive, I like driving it too. It's her baby, she's put over 12K miles on it since mid July.

What's special about the 15s?

Here is a picture of my wife's 2016 Wrangler JK.

Jeeps hold their value exceptionally well. They are also a ton of fun to drive and can go just about anywhere. We have a 2012 (same 3.6 penstar as the newer ones) ours has been very reliable and my fiance wouldn't trade it for the world. The only regret she has is not being more patient and finding a manual.

I would steer away from that one due to the rebuilt title personally.

I have a pal with on old 70s CJ5 with the original V8 that he wants to find a good home for. I am considering buying it cuz I am single and I need 4 vehicles.

No complaints on ours and the value comments are spot on. Happy Hunting!

I text them to verify about the title and they confirmed that it's rebuilt so I will keep looking. Maybe people will be selling their toys soon.

Looks good, I like that color.

One thing I've learned during this search is that a lot of Wranglers have manual windows.

Nothing really. Other than you can pick them up for a decent price and decent miles 5 years later. I dont have many jeep friends who buy brand new. Only 2 friends. A gladiator and a 2020 Ruby. Most friends I have buy used. I am super happy with my TJ. Its not economical for daily use especially with the amount I drive in real estate. My business will most likely get one in the next year or so.

Basic models are preferred for removing doors. Less electrical components to disconnect.

I like Mojito and Sarge better. That’s just me.
