How to Sell my Jeep?

March 20, 2021, 02:47 PM

Sounds like CL is the most common suggestion. Well, that and FB, but I deleted my profile there. Between the fact I tend to be very cynical at times and the fact I've been online for quite a while, I have a pretty good BS detector. Not that I'm not concerned and won't take precautions. Good advice on the "no texts".

Part of my challenge is valuation. I'll check the Jeep forums I'm a member of. Maybe Expedition Portal too.

I can get a bunch of good photos. Already have a bunch, and can take more.

I would say minimum $30-35k

Looking at the handful of similar ones on ExPo, I'm thinking $35K or so might be the sweet spot. Still need to do more research.

took my Tacoma to a grocery store parking lot -- parked it near the main entrance drive. listed a few basic details on the signs inside the glass.

the nice thing about that is people seeing it are nearby and 'real' potential buyers... vs internet tire kickers you have to drive who-knows-how-far to possibly show the vehicle to

it worked -- Tacoma sold quickly. whatever you do -- be sure to take safety precautions

This! It’s how I found mine just sitting in a large mowed grassy lot between two businesses with the “for sale” sign. I was the first one to contact him about it. I told him that I was serious about a purchase. I had just wrecked my 4WD truck.

When we met a couple of days later due to schedule conflicts, he informed me that his second contact on it offered over his asking price to get first in line for it.

Could not confirm or deny but he was true to his word on everything else in the deal.
YMMV.

Another option might be Nextdoor. I recently put up my Camry for sale there. I got my first response before I even had all the pics posted. An hour later, I had cash in hand and the new owner was driving away.

I have bought and sold multiple cars through Craigslist. No brainer. Show the car at a busy public place.

Sheeeeeet. You can basically name your price.

I’d say join a couple of Jeep forums. Look at their for sale threads. I bet you can sell that thing for top dollar in a week.

I would NOT take the easy way out (Carmax, Carvanna, etc.)

It’s good that you’re realistic about the accessories, but you’ve still got a gem.

I know a lot of things are driven by regional preferences and such, but Jeeps sell like hot cakes in AZ.
I had my old 2009 daily driver north east rust bucket with 150k miles. Ended up getting a lot more than I thought I would when I traded it in to a dealer. I am brutally honest and informed the dealer of the mileage rust torn soft top scratch and dents etc. it had a pretty hard life
But the dealer said wranglers rarely last 48 hours on their lot

2014 JKUR with 33k on the clock. With properly installed quality modifications.

That would sell in a weekend around this area. Jeep’s turn a wicked profit here. The dealerships ask 90% the cost of new for a used vehicle.

I've sold a ton of stuff over the years on Craigslist. That would include my 2005 F150 Lariat, a few four wheelers, even my Corvette. I have always stated cash only and I have never had a problem.

You have a nice jeep and they are in high demand...it would sell quickly if priced fairly.

I sold mine on Craigslist. 28,000miles, similarly setup, got what I payed for it (less the mods) they really hold their value. Get top dollar, you can......

I'd grab the title and take it to SC to sell on your schedule. Not into jeeps so I don't know the specific site I'd use but I'd start on the "Sigforum for Jeeps" site in their marketplace. I've done similar with adventure touring bikes in the past with good success.
As others have said you should be getting a premium for that unit. The targeted site puts it in front of knowledgeable buyer's.

If I had the option, I'd take it to AZ and sell it. Unfortunately, responsibilities do not allow.
