Hey all, business ownership has eaten a lot of my time, but in the ever-fleeting moments of free time, I’ve been buying and selling some Jeeps.

I got a killer lease on a’21 Sahara 4Xe that I ordered in yellow.

I lifted it and put some angrier tires on it, but the. I was offered a buyout that paid off my lease and put $7500 in my pocket, so I sold it and drove my 95 Suburban for a while.
Eventually, I got tired of that and got an offer for it I couldn’t turn down, so I sold it and bought a 2013 JGC SRT8 Alpine package.

I put some tires on it and threw a big screen radio in it and drove it for a while. I was getting like 15 mpg and it was rocket, but the ride got old quick.
My local Stellantis dealer gave me a couple grand more for it than I had in it, so I traded it for a new Grand Cherokee L Limited.

I’ll add some pics in the next post.

My goodness this is an amazing vehicle! They’re comfortable, quiet, smooth and feel very, very high end, even without all the options of the Summit Reserve.

However, back in Thanksgiving of last year, I ordered a Hydro Blue Rubicon 4Xe. I realized I just needed to stop buying lower trims levels and expecting them to do Rubicon things.

It arrived in March, and I figured I wouldn’t take it because they wouldn’t be able to give me enough for my Grand Cherokee. Honestly, I really liked it and didn’t want to get rid of it, but my dealer offered me all of the money once again, and so I swapped it out for this:

I really love it more than I thought I would. With quite a bit more sidewall than the Sahara, it actually rides a lot nicer, but still isn’t on the same planet as the L.

I’ve put 1250 miles on it, and I still haven’t used half a tank of fuel in it. I’ve yet to put any fuel in it all.

I’ve been looking at recent lease deals on a Hellraisin Scat Pack, and that $440/mo. Deal is mighty tempting. So while I love it, I may still get rid of it for a car that’s been a dream car of mine for a long time.

So in a span of basically 4 months, those are my 4 Jeeps.
Anyone keep getting all the money for your trade and have that drive your purchase decisions or is it just me?

Its a jeep thing, I get it.

The diff between the WK1 and WK2 is astounding.

Id like a Summit 4xe L for the wifeypants if they'll make it.

I cant believe theyre still calling the new GC a "WK2" considering its completely different inside and out and stretched. It looks substantially more different from a 2012 GC than a WK1 does from a 2012.

I'm pretty sure it's a WL, my SRT8 was a WK2. I don't keep up with all the chassis designations though.

WK is 2011-2013
WK2 is 2014-present facelift
WL is the 2021 GC-L (and 2022 GC) redesign

Can't believe they still sell the 2022 WK2 along side the new WL models. I hate when companies do that. Reminds me of the Acadia Limited or Ram 1500 Classic- a.k.a. rental car specials.

I like that you've been able to make the market situation work for you. Our registration and sales tax is so high here that I can't see making a 10.5% profit over each transaction for that many transactions. I'm impressed.

That and insurance updates. Crispy must have his agent as a favorite contact. If they don’t hear from him once a month with a vehicle change, they send a car to his house to make sure he’s still alive!

Not bad. How many pairs of shoes do you have?

This was me last summer lol. Markets not quite as flippable around here as it was.

Nice GCL. HEMI?

No hemi option on limited. Only on the overland and summit/reserve 4X4s

Hell, how many times have you gone into a parking lot and looked for the wrong vehicle?

The dealer seems more interested in buying cars back from you. Are you the dealer in this case??

I am now. Now I have to figure out how to wholesale all these cars that used to be mine.

Dang 😔

I didn't miss it. Yeah, it's not fast, but the 3.6 is adequate.

Usually it's not a problem.

It's not that bad.

What was the big screen radio you put in the srt8? Looking for something to put in my Yukon.

That Hydro Blue is the best color on Wranglers. Nicely done.

For now.
