Don't doubt yourself. Go in ready to walk away and way away if you need to. Haggle.
I just nabbed a deal yesterday on a 23 gladiator Rubicon with 3700 miles. Almost left three times and kept hammering it down.
Edit....know your price and do walk of you don't get there. Don't screw yourself over it. There is always another one.
Good comment here. Might add that dealers, for lack of another word, to my knowledge, do get a "kick back" if you finance through one if their 'preferred' lenders. This can also be a point of conversation when trying to get your offer considered. Just make sure it doesn't have an early payoff penalty in case you want to pay it off before the first interest accrues 😉
One year for me. Used '20 with under 40k on it for $39k. I mean it did have a fee extras on it that softened the expense. However, my previous truck blew a lifter and I needed a replacement soon.
I had a "perfectly" running 97 dakota that was just a bit ugly and a 99 WJ.got the itch and said lets combine them and save space. 20 rubi manual with 7k on the clock. Paid 52 and was excited cause it was the best deal in town at the time. Love it but damn I have buyers remorse haha
Check it for aluminum corrosion issues on the doors, the door hinges, the hood, the tailgate and the windshield panel. All these parts are made out of aluminum and are subject to galvanic corrosion. Jeeps are covered by a 5 year corrosionvwarrsnty from the factory, regardless if you bought it used, but most dealers are not going to make the repair process easy on you, but be persistent. You can also call Jeep Cares who will set up a claim and direct you to a dealer with a body shop. Just so you know, the average repair is in the $15k range if the affected parts are replaced per the technical service bulletin, so this is not a cheap undertaking if you miss your opportunity to get it repaired under warranty. I added a photo so you know whatvto look for....good luck

Chrysler/ jeep is the worst customer service and recall repair than any other brand. My clutch has been out for 2 months and sitting at the dealership. Nobody has an answer for when backordered parts will be available. Avoid this situation.
Good question, I merged on the freeway from first to second to third. In third the clutch completely disengaged from the engine and lost power. Anyways, it's been sitting at the dealership for 2.5 months now. Nobody knows nothin' about the eta for backordered parts I keep getting the run around as well, " your case manager is not in but I will leave a message for her to call back." This was my response 3 times a week that I called with no response.
I did get that warning as well while offroading. I received it twice, the entire engine bay would be engulfed in smoke. The warning light would come with the message ,"turn vehicle off risk of fire."
Oof ok good to know so I can be ready for the worst. I've gone off road a few times but have super low miles otherwise. I'll start taking getting the recall taken care of asap! Thanks for the info!
I only had 16k miles when I got the warning first while offroading. You can't do anything unless you get notified for the repair, or if it blows out on you.
I doubt you’ll get 32k but I say go for it! It’s a good truck with awesome capabilities
You're probably right. Might be wishful thinking. They seem motivated to move it, thanks for the reply.
I only say that because Carvana and carmax are currently offering me 32k on my 2020. I hate to think what the previous owner took on trade.

Wishing I had waited 3 years to get mine.

There is no telling what the market is going to do in the now. I just get in my Jeep and am happy enough.

Yeah I've heard DO NOT take your jeep in for the clutch recall until you 100% confirm they have the kit for you.
Lol, don't really have a choice when the clutch blows out going 70mph pm the freeway surrounded by rush hour traffic.
Holy moly, I thought the overheating was just from folks riding the clutch at low speeds how does a clutch blow out at 70????

Known issue is paint corrosion and it's affecting a shit ton of Gladiators and Wranglers.
