Am I crazy?

Yeah, you're pretty much crazy. The only viable consideration is the jump to a 4-door. IMO it will be the only item on your list that will live up to your expectations. If you go for a 2012 4 door you're going to...
- Without a doubt you'll get four doors
- Get a little more power, but let's face it. It's a Jeep not a top-fuel dragster.
- I bet the better fuel economy in a 2012 will never be realized. Changing your driving habits might yield a bigger impact.

I purchased a 2011 JKU at the end of Feb this year. I paid 26K for it. I traded it in on a 2012 in Sept and I got 24,500 for it and it had 9,000 miles on it. My wife and I are definitely happy with the 2012 and the Dozer color. If you can work a deal definitely do it.

No value
I know I'm gonna lose money...
Just bought 'an 11 last April and now I want to trade it in for a '12.
The things that make me want to do it? Well, I want a four door, more power, alittle better fuel economy(I drive 60 miles round trip everyday).
I'm just trying to justify this, any thoughts?

I just picked up an '07 X Saturday. If that's what they are offering on a trade then I paid to much, lol. Before I jumped in I priced the local auctions and did my share of searches. Auctions were going for around 14k, dealers only, with around 50k miles. How many miles are on your '11?

Here are some Florida dealer auction numbers for 2011 from Florida. These are from yesterday. All of these are 2 door sport models.
2011 JEEP WRGLR4X4 SPT 6G SUV O PS PB AC RT 4X4 15,831 SILVER $24,600
2011 JEEP WRGLR4X4 SPT 6G SUV A PS PB AC RT 4X4 22,709 GREEN $23,600
2011 JEEP WRGLR4X4 SPT 6G SUV O PS PB AC RT 4X4 22,192 SILVER $23,600
2010s
2010 JEEP WRGLR4X4 SPT 6G 4SUV O PS PB AC RT 4X4 10,208 GREEN $21,400
These are auctions prices and seem to be very strong. I would imagine that the dealer would pay you auction prices for a trade-in since he could always send it to the auction if it couldn't sell on his lot. I wouldn't trade mine in for any less than the current auction price.
