Quoted:


Before we get into details I must preface that this is not a daily driver. It's a third vehicle and a weekend toy only.



Back in August I got the bug for a Jeep JK Rubicon. The dealer had a base model in black for the sticker price of $33k but sold it to me for $29k. Got 3.9% for the amount financed of $32,634.



Long story short, the black paint was driving me nuts as its hard to keep clean and shows every imperfection. The soft top was something else I came to dislike too. What I really wanted was a Billet silver base model Rubicon (JK) with a hard top. Started shopping around and last weekend I found the same dealer had exactly what I wanted! A Billet silver Base model Rubicon with a hardtop. Sticker price was $35k.



Payoff for the black rubi was $31,453. They gave me $25k for it. Total financed for the trade and new rubi was $37,300 at 3.39%.





How'd I do?

I'm no car salesman but I'm going to go with bad.  




And if having a perfect paint job is important to you then maybe a Rubi isn't your best option.

Used, 1 year old, low mileage, let someone else take the big hit.
I've never paid that much for a car in my life.

You just did to a jeep what idiots did to the housing market.  You are upside down.

You got fucked.....Hope you decide to keep that Jeep until the wheels fall off as if you trade it on something else, you're going to be fucked harder.

Wow, yes you did badly. You NEVER roll negative equity into a new car loan. You're now stuck upside down pretty much until you pay off the loan. Better hope you don't hit hard times financially because there will be no getting away from that car payment.

This.

You went upside down. The dealer didn't fuck you, you just wanted a different vehicle and were willing to pay more to make it happen.

Enjoy your Jeep!

Nah, the rubi is perfect for what I want. Dana 44s and lockers.....this isn't my first rodeo

The color and soft top wasn't cuttin it. I have a silver Jetta that hasn't been washed in almost a year and you cant tell. The hard top is quieter and more robust in my opinion.

Not sure if it's any different for cars, but sales tax is 8-9%

No, you read wrong. I want low maintenance.

Dirt, scratches and dents show less on silver than black by a long shot.

Yes you read that correct, $90k. $90,000.00 US dollars.

Considering what they gave you for your trade in you did alright on the deal. I wouldn't make a habit of getting negative equity but it could have certainly been much worse.

You are upside down in your new jeep because of your old one. You knew that already.

Yeah pretty much, and I was willing to absorb the extra cost to get what I wanted in the end. Selling the first jeep then buying the new would have been ideal. But overall I'm happy with the payments and the changeup. The first jeep was a pretty damn good deal to begin with.
