My brother gets a new one every few years as his dd and loves them. He gets a 4 door hardtop....never had any issues.

Understatement for sure. Of all the vehicles I’ve owned (over 120 now!) my Jeep is the winner on resale. The market is ridiculous. I finally gave up on finding one for a decent price used and just bought a new one. Had it for a few summer months and sold it....for more than I paid for it brand new. Absolutely ridiculous market in what people are willing to pay for one. Half of the used ones were sold between the time I told the seller I was on the way and the time I got there. Lots of fun though. I enjoyed mine.

I was in the market years ago, looking for a 2-3 year old vehicle to save some money with the new car depreciation hit. That's when I found out the used market for these makes no sense. Ended up buying a Sahara unlimited brand new, at a very nice discount too. The difference in purchase price between my loaded new vehicle and the asking prices of vehicles a few years older with 10-15k miles and way less options was within $3-4k. Makes no sense, who the hell is buying these things used at these prices?

I noticed that as well when we went to buy a Wrangler Sport a few years back. Just didn't make sense to buy used for the sake of a couple grand.

This is the second one I've had, and the difference in 10 years time night and day. Good vehicle overall.
