Thats what I love. Jeep dealers are always claiming how great the resale of a Wrangler is. Then when trade in time comes they lowball the crap out of it. I was looking at trading in my 08 for an 11 a couple months ago and had the same problem with trade in. No where near what KBB was. So I said screw it and took the extra $$ I would of spent and got F/R D60s and some other stuff.

There is no dealership in their right mind that's going to give you over $20K for a used JK with mileage on it. Remember...they DO have to turn around and resell it.
I think you should have been happy with $17k.. that's pretty awesome trade-in for a Jeep that is now 4 model years old.

I agree I bought my new loaded 4dr for 26k there was an '08 4dr with miles on the lot for 27.5k! Why in the hell would I buy used when I could get branded new. They must have jacked the price up because of winch and bumper. Crazy.
