At least in 5 years you'll be able to sell it for $30k with 60000 miles. if I had to be upsidedown in a car a silver JKU Rubi is about the best one out there.

hard to imagine getting raped that hard on a wrangler. but good for you on the new one.

How in the world were you that upside down?
Are you financing 100% of it? did you even haggle at all? or just walk in and pay sticker? |

Did you read the OP? I got the $33k base model rubi for $29k initially. That's $4k+ off sticker. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

No. I initially paid 29k for a 33k(sticker) rubi. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

You... You paid sticker for a vehicle? No. I initially paid 29k for a 33k(sticker) rubi. Ok, I had to go back and re-re-read what you wrote. You financed $2,200 over sticker out the door eating $5,000 in negative equity. If such is the case, you didn't get your ass ate out like some here would like to believe. It's just that it sounds like you paid sticker on the second Jeep, plus tax, plus negative equity. The dealer will take a beating on a new car or on the trade, but rarely on both. Give and take, but in the end it's about the same. |

($35 sticker price + $2k for the trade?) wranglers are pretty damn good at holding their value. you got a $4k head start. then still lost $2k, for a net loss of $6k. then you apparently paid sticker on the new one, when clearly deals can be had, as evidenced by $4k off the first one. i'd have looked for the jeep i wanted elsewhere, or possibly private saled/ sold to a big used dealer to pay off the car completely before taking a hit on it. the big dealers that do the "guaranteed financing no money down!" bullshit would have eaten that up. |

I don't think the dealer fucked you, I do think you fucked yourself though.
You probably could have just had the first jeep professionally painted a different color and lost less money if you hated it that bad. |

It could have been WAY worse, you could have used your own money and not the banks. Worse comes to worse, let the bank have it back... probably going to be lots of that going on soon

I second what was said above. If you are going to be upside down in anything this is the vehicle for it IMO. I was just out driving new cars this weekend and a 1 year old Rubicon unlimited with 16k miles was 36.5 sticker. It was lifted and drove great but I just wouldn't use it enough offroad to justify it. I was damn tempted though. The prices for used Rubicons are insane.
Sales tax in WA is 9%, we get nailed because we don't have an income tax here. Sounds like a hell of a nice rig man. I hate having car payments but sometimes they aren't so hard to swallow when you are driving the rig you've always wanted. Enjoy it |

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? View Quote How did you do? Check your math. Cause I did. Master level trolling. It is sad that a 16er had to figure it out.

Kidding aside, I'd like to have a rubicon unlimited myself, but can't justify it not being my daily.

Have you guys priced professional paint jobs?? Holy shit they are not cheap and they dont cover the whole vehicle (underhood, door jams, floor pan, etc.....) The price of a paint job and a hard top would have exceded the whole shebang by thousands! |

Meh I get BMW owners who roll 10-20k into new vehicles here at the Audi Dealership I work at. The sales guy who sold you the silver JK isn't the one who is making the good money, the salesman who sells your old black JK for 31-32k is since they gave you 25. Rolling any negative equity into a car is ill advised, but if you are happy then you are happy.
Side note: I had a 3 series customer walk in yesterday looking to trade his car in and he owed 48k, car was valued at 16k |

Instead of being $4000 in the ditch due to depreciation and owning the first Jeep for 6 months, you are now $12,300 in the ditch before you drove Jeep #2 off the lot.
Now that you have driven #2 off the lot you are about $18,000 in the ditch and that number will not get any smaller until it is completely paid off, by that time you will have a $5000 Jeep. You asked for a salesman's opinion, you just got it. Good luck. |

How about a blue one? I'll give you $26k for your silver one, and you can roll more negative equity into the blue one.

For the dealers profit a second time, taking the initial depreciation hit on a new vehicle a second time, you probably paid ~$500 in interest in round numbers on a loan you just started over, etc. All the money you threw out the window basically |

It was when I first typed it out. It's up to you to justify cost of ownership, not me. If it's what you want and that is the means you choose to pay for it, that's up to you. At the end of the day it's still going to be a $5000 Jeep, it's called ACV (actual cash value). Not dissing you, just laying it out from a salesman's perspective. Nobody held a gun to your head to buy it, that's your decision. |

OP, do you have other car payments, in addition to this? Just curious....
