You should be able to get them WAY down from their ad price. The new interior and engine only hurts the older Jeeps resale value.

The best deal I found back then(but it got bought out from under me in Pottsville,PA) was an '07 with 30k miles, no nav for $23.5. If you are on this forum, I dislike you.
23.5 would definitely work for me. Wonder why it was so cheap?

Did you buy from a dealer or private party?

I think it was just the market area. Semi rural PA vs DC suburb. That or the dealer just had no clue what these sell for.

I guess I should add that after talking to a salesman I got him to agree to 27.5. I think I may be able to get a little more off the price. The dealer had another for similarly equipped jk with 26k miles listed for around 29 as well. Thoughts?

Get a 2012 and don't look back.

dealer... it did kinda help that I knew the owner of the dealership though. He found me one used and bought it just for me. He still made money off me though.

X2 Agree. I've owned a new 2011 Rubicon 3.8L before and after buying the new 2012 - you couldn't give me a 3.8L Jeep again.
