My dad's wife is wanting to sell her 04 Rubicon and my dad is asking for rough ballpark where to start KBB is saying $12-14k dependong on condition at her mileage (69k). That seems a bit high to me, but it is a wrangled. Thoughts? I've seen quite a few sitting on car lots so the competition might be tough, at least you might be able to play the 'winter is coming' card. |

Yeah, that's their dealership. They're not big fans of them
I know I could probably sell it down here in tidewater to some of the military guys, but he's looking to sell up there for now. |

There is no such thing as "it seems a little high for a used Wrangler". You'll get exactly what you want.
Google "How Do Used Jeep Wranglers Avoid Depreciation So Well?" and "Do Jeep Wranglers really hold their value?" and see how many years running that a Wrangler has been either #1 or #2 in their category and you'll shit yourself. It's the same reason you won't be going to a dealership and negotiating $5k off a Rubicon - even if you pay cash - because a guy will arrive 10 minutes later and pay full retail price. The only vehicle close to it in the last 5 years was the Tacoma, and it was 1.5% difference. Don't even look at how many they build a year, it's absolutely staggering, and they still fly off the lots. All that said, someone will happily throw $15k in your lap for a nice used Rubi vs. spending $23k on a new base model. |

Craigslist seems to have gone down hill as of late. I have a feeling he's going to be asking for my help. |

I know VA has 4-5 that I know of, and it wouldn't surprise me to find out there were others. They can definitely hook you up. I'm not 100% sure where you are or I could be more specific. |

It's got lights, bumper/winch combo (synthetic, which is a premium), fenders, tires, rock rails, tire carrier rear bumper, and a River Raider snorkel. None of that stuff is expensive whatsoever, aside from the River Raider snorkel which is over $500, plus another $500 for installation if you aren't comfortable cutting through the firewall and hood. How modified is your Rubi? I can give you some more info based on that. I just threw out a set of tube bumpers I couldn't GIVE away. There are so many parts available for free or cheap you'd be shocked.

This thing is 100% bone stock. 4.0L AT. Driven by a middle aged woman.
Hard top installed 99% of the time, but they do have the soft top too. |

I'd list it on novajeepers.net or jeepforum.com
$12-14K seems reasonable to me based on mileage, 2 tops and it's a Rubicon. |

Take the vehicle to Carlotz. They put it on their lot and sell it for you. They get a fixed commission of about $900. They deal with the buyer and can even arrange financing. All you do is swing by and pickup the check. I sold a BMW 528 that way about 18 months ago, and it was a great experience. No dealing with tire kickers on CL.
