contemplating a trade - help me determine its value

[tcdawg]

Looks sweet. I think if you walk away with 15-18k and that jeep it would be a sweet deal. Its very comparable to yours as far as add ons, so really what is the value difference between a stock 2 door and a stock 4 door with similar years & mileage?

He has more $$ in mods ~$5k or so. The difference would be between a 2013 JKUR with 8,500 miles and a 2008 JKR with 76,000 miles. Stock for stock that difference is around $15k +/- a few grand ($20k vs $35k).

What intrigues you about the other rig?

Shorter wheel base is the only thing he has that you couldn't change on yours.

You have a better motor.

Personally, I wouldn't trade between those two unless it's a wheel base thing....
If it is, I would want at least $10k from the dude along with the trade.

Nice JK though. Clean and looks to have had some nice install work done. Keep what ya got! I would say this to you, you are used to a 4 door, the room of a 4 door, capability of a 4 door and if you went to a 2 door you would surely miss the room. That is my ONLY complaint about my TJ. NO ROOM!

You just don't know if your buying problems. You know your Jeep.

Even trade for my Jeep plus $10?

This is my thought:

45K yours and 25K his. Labor almost never counts in a sale. Only a few exceptions would I, and that would a Jimmy, Randy, or likes car.

Honest question, why don't you trade yours for a buggy that you can beat on? Something that's not a dig deal if it rolls over or gets a scratch.

Just remember you'll have to pay the tax on the trade vehicle thanks to the new GA law.  Threy use NADA, so likely a $18K valuation meaning $1200 tax.

Can't buy a buggy because this is my dd.

I'd be getting $17k on top of his Jeep. I just sent him a message that if he is cool with my rocker damage from Golden and Chocco then we have a deal.

I know that is the one thing I will miss, but I'm willing to give it a whirl.

damn i wish I saw this before I told the guy ok. Why didn't you pipe up earlier Will?

[Mortalis5509]

Hey ill trade u mine.

[Danny Kinder]

What's your payoff? If you can end up with no car payment and a super capable jk then I do not see what the question is.

Plus your ground clearance and cog will improve dramatically. The 4 doors have a lot of belly pan to clear..
