Dude are you kidding me? Unless that's a mint condition Rubicon (which its not in good condition at all from what you described) its not worth close to 19k.

A good condition Sahara blue books around 14k. So yeah, if its a Sahara with rust, beat shocks, worn tires and a lift (decreases resale value BTW regardless of what people want to believe), then $10k sounds about right.

So before you spout off that he doesn't know what he's talking about, how about more details? Sahara, Rubicon, trans, options, paint/body condition, etc?

I'm envisioning a pretty beat up Sahara. Was it regeared for the 35s?

Edit: based on Sals post (and the fact he was recently in the market.....lol) maybe the values and availability of wranglers varies a lot more by region than other cars. Around me they're a dime a dozen and a few sitting on every lot. I guess if they're hard to come by in some areas the dealers are able to drive up the price.

I just did a quick search and found 17 2007 wranglers for under 19k in my area. A handful were below 16k.

LMAO dude if your werent in the rust belt I'd go wrangler shopping by you. Very few lots have a wrangler by me and even less newer than a 2007 and no used rubicons for sale either. With in 40 miles of my house all three jeep dealerships only had one rubicon a piece and those were 2011's and one was a 2 door. I think area has a lot to do with it. I spent days searching by me and had to go down to 2005's to get around $20K.

You might want to check some out man. We really don't have that bad of an issue with rust in this area..... its not until you get up into northern NJ and the NY region.

[pjmjr508]

it does depend on the area. Take a look at a search with in 100 miles of my place.

With the search being
Wrangler 2007 and newer
max price 20,000
4x4
v6 motor (to rule out the 4 bangers)
this is what I came up with.

I know right? it's not from a lack of trying though I'll tell you that much. I tell here everyday I want to move to AZ LMAO. Also keep in mind the X starts at $25K new so 3 years old depending on how you look at it and he's only down $10k still not bad.

And here is a 2009 for $14,915:
