Default Jeep Value's Up !!! What's Your's Worth ???

Thought this would be fun. Just for grins I recently went to Kelly Blue Book (KBB.com) to see what my Jeep was worth and was pleasantly surprised. Given the current economic condition of our country and several other factors it appears that some used vehicles have actually increased in value. I know Jeeps have always held value well but going to KBB put a smile on face. I actually have two Jeeps my 08' Sahara and my Wife's 11' RHD.

So for fun, list your purchase price and current value. Be honest when filling out your KBB information.

Here's my round about numbers.
my 08' Sahara purchased used in Dec. of 2010 listed in Excellent Condition.
Paid around $26k and put down $4k and currently owe around $18k.
Current KBB private party value around $29k and trade in around $27k.

My 2011 RHD doesn't give used values because its too new.

So...... Whats Your Jeep Worth ???

Or just full of crap. Most dealers don't care about KBB unless they are using it to sell you on the vehicle (get it, teh prices are high). Dealers will use auction prices - Manheim etc....

I like fact that they show the values up there but reality is that they are off.
In good condition mine is $28,500.00 or +$2,400.00
In excellent condition it's at $30,600 or +$4,500.00

It's only worth what someone will give you for it, and no one is going to pay a premium for a used vehicle. See the Jeep recycle section and your local craigslist.

Got my 2010 2 door for 15k, had 25 miles from it being delivered. KBB quoted me $22,000 for excellent condition. Not bad.

Just wanted to note that the KBB "excellent" category means showroom condition, which most vehicles are not. "Good" is a realistic category to use, unless you've really messed up your Jeep.
