I agree. Too much. I have no idea what the your $ is worth compared to mine up here in Canada but when I was shopping for a Rubi back in August. 2008's were going for about 28000. Which in US$ would be less.

If it's a dealer that is selling it my suggestion is google "used 2007 Rubicon". Then look at whats for sale and after looking at a few you should get a good idea what the going rate should be for a 07.

Good huntin'!

Miami used car values are always distorted, but it should be somewhere in the low $20s. Probably mid $20s in Miami.

And a lift and 35s would not increase its value on the used market and blue book is almost always a few thousand thousand dollars too high...

sure it would. your telling me that stock rig would be the same price as a lifted with 35s and aftermarket bumpers ??? maybe not to the average buyer... but the right buyer would pay more for the modded rig.
