I'm not defending the prices on the Jeeps, believe me. But the top of the line freaking piece of crap Polaris is $55,000! And they're not discounting them! The prices are out of control. And that's why I drive an '01 Jeep Cherokee with 185K miles. And I would drive it anyplace.
Do they really cost that much? If nobody buys them, the market is telling you that the price is way off. They only cost what people are actually paying. 🙂

I put 200k on my 95 grand Cherokee
My bmw x3 was way less expensive than a wrangler 4xe. Jeep dealer wouldn’t come off their price so I went to BMW. No additional dealer markup or fake dealer options. Stellantis and their dealers can all go bankrupt.
with that engine, it wasnt worth it at all. also, m not american. why american people keep trying to buy brand new cars? didnt get it. ehats wrong with 22 model low milage ones?

I honestly love my 2018 frontier. So far it’s been the most reliable I’ve owned with 132,000 thousand miles on it. The mechanical issue I’ve had is the alternator going out. Overall great trucks nothing fancy just very basic with a back up camera. I only wish the back seats had more room.
@ The transmission has been great so far no issues at all. To be honest I was worried about the transmission because the stuff I’ve heard. I have a v6 not the flex fuel. I’m still getting the same mpg as a full size truck. 16 in the city maybe 21 on highway. I know this may sound kind of dumb but to me it reminds me of an old pick up like the ones my uncle’s used to have. It’s really easy to grab things from bed. I’m not having to step on my tire or climb in to reach anything. If I can’t grab what I’m wanting from one side all I need to do is walk around. It’s not all that quite on the highway. It’s gets the job done on just about every thing I need to do.
@@inunez7271 Thanks for the honest response. Being able to grab stuff out of a bed is important to me too. I know people who have had that V6 in their pathfinder and they said the MPG wasn't good but it sounds like a decent truck compared to the overengineered trucks they're selling today. Glad your transmission is doing good.
@ you’re welcome; I’m only 30 years old. I agree trucks are not trucks anymore. They have way too many computers and components. I would love to get another full size tuck or 2500. The prices are ridiculous. Just to get the things I want I need to upgrade packages which just means more money no thank you. I’m happy with towing hitch, a reverse camera of course Bluetooth radio just because it’s easier to answer phone calls. Thats all I really need. Side note if you do have kids that are still in car seats or teens there’s not be enough leg space. Especially with car seats. Overall the only complaint i really have is that I wish the back seats had more space. Think about it like the back seats of a frontier crew cab is the same as a Ram 1500 quad cab.
What many people don't understand is that these prices are paid in cash. If you take out a bank loan to pay for a vehicle, you must add 50% to 60% more to the total payment of the vehicle, so if you buy a vehicle for $60,000, in monthly installments you end up paying about $90,000 to $100,000 and the annual interest doesn't keep steady, it's keeps creeping up, so it becomes an impossible debt to pay.
And some states base the license plate fees on the "official sticker price" for your make, model and year (minus depreciation). I wouldn't be surprised if these are $3K+ in fees each year, for the first few years. Indiana charges me next to nothing, since my 20+ year old Saturns (DMV says the MSRP was like $13,755 back in the day) have now depreciated to practically nothing.
The Grand Wagooner Serie 3 is gorgeous inside. My boss bought one last year, got rid of his troublesome Escalade, and loves the Wagoneer. His has the Hemi, 6.2L. and the wood is real, and the leather rivals anything the Europeans have, possibly better. I don't like the looks of the Wagoneer, but the White/Black Roof combination on his is nice. They are too expensive, but everything is, I wish Jeep would go back to its' roots. The maintenance costs on German Cars are outrageous!

Enjoy your videos. We bought a new 2023 BMW X5 after testing driving the X5 and X5M( I was a Jeep Grand Cherokee fan, by the way, but not with their price) . Since I'm not going to drag race the SUV and drive 120+ on the surface road every day, the X5 has enough luxury and speed I will ever need. We also bought extended mechanic, service warranty, and tire coverage. It all brings the out-the-door price to around 74K with discounts. There were some heavy road reconstructions around our neighborhood for over a year and half. We ran over so much shit we changed every tire at least once at different times because the holes and cuts were so bad they could not be patched. I also ran over a crowbar once and damaged a rear wheel and fender cover that had to be replaced. All the cost was "0". Just replace a rear wheel and tire already paid for the extended warranty. Every time we buy a new or used car, we always purchase a transferable extended warranty to cover the life of the vehicle. That could be something you can talk about in your video.
I paid about $114,800 for my house in 2012. If I wanted a "JEEP", I want one like Daisy Duke (Catherine Bach) had on "The Dukes of Hazzard", or the one Pam Dawber had on "Mork & Mindy". Maybe 4WD, or maybe RWD. A simple, functional workhorse.
118k is absolutely insane for known issues with quality. Regardless of depreciation, family size, income, net worth. I could have 6 kids,wife and a million dollars in bank and still would not buy that. A RV or fixer upper home in the sticks makes more sense. lol. Wtf is the dealer smoking, cr@ck is wack.🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
A 118k vehicle is not marked to people with a million in their bank account, champ. Add a zero to that. *Poor person bleats out how they would live if they were wealthy. Doctors report a major increase in eyeroll-related injuries.*
It is like the auto industry forgot the lesson that Henry Ford taught about economics of scale and selling to the entire middle/working class with an affordable product.
The bean counters don't look at things that way anymore. It's all about profit margin per vehicle, and luxury priced SUVs and trucks are what bring them the most profit per unit sold. They could give two shits what the average middle class American wants and needs.
FYI a couple of cars you pointed at as having "flat" paint, was incorrect. They were non-metallic, glossy finish colors, not "flat," which refers to the non-reflective, almost industrial/military like finish available as special order on some vehicles.
You should be comparing the Waggoneers with GM and Ford full size SUV's. I used to work at a C, D, J, R dealership and we had Waggoneers and Hornets that we had since there were shipped to our dealership that they were first models. The problem is when someone wants to test drive, you have to jump it. When jumping a Hornet R/T, you have to charge the battery for 2 hours and then program the modules. C, D, J, R vehicles are overpriced because they are putting all the bells and whistles in the vehicles.
I will say I've almost owned almost every brand and I love my 4×e Rubicon with a Rubicon x package. Better than any car on the road. I got $13,000 off of it. I do agree with you All of the car prices are way too high!!
I just purchased a brand new 2025 RAV 4. It cost me a whopping $30,000 with some nice options added in. My previous one lasted 17 years with almost no repairs required. Try doing that with a Jeep.
My first house was 90K. A very nice 4 bed ranch all brick with 2 acres of land in 1995. Less than 30 years later a truck that will be in the junkyard in a few years costs about the same.
I get your point with the Mercedes and agree with you. But with that said, you need to research the power of those hurricane HP. They make crazy power. It might only last 20k miles but they make great power

Head over to the Acura dealership and show the MDX. SH-AWD, N/A 3.5L engine, great value and tech for money and one-ups Lexus with their fwd and turbo vehicles.
Parts delays across the board for a ton of models with no ETA. Dealers Can’t sell the vehicles on their lot. Dodge, Jeep and ram are going to the highest bidder. Stellantis has to sell the brands.
That square body would look good next to my K5 Blazer. And damn, I remember it wasn't long ago that a car that cost 100K or more would be something really special-not some generic-looking mall crawler mom-mobile.
The basic Jeep design was created in 1937. I think their development course have long ago been paid for sure. They’ve updated a few things here and there, but the essential design is still the same. They play the same design going on 100 years.
Just checked out a Grand Wagoneer on Jeep Canada to see the insane price. They are offering an $11,000 discount but it only applies if you finance it over 84 or 96 months at 5.49% interest. Doing the math and financing it at 72 months without their discount but a higher price for the jeep, you still save money. What crooks.
@@MotorFeed Yeah, offering a product at a disclosed price with a clearly-published interest rate and payment schedule is so shady and deceptive. What next? Credit cards that cost you money if you don't pay in full every month? The horror.
I'm a Toyota/Lexus person all the way through myself. Around 20-25 years ago or so I had strong leanings towards BMW and Mercedes when it came to what a luxury vehicle is and should be. They are both nice brands but just not my cup of tea anymore. As I discovered Toyota and Lexus since that time.. and I know those brands are not everyone else's cup of tea either so please spare me. With that said I look at these Jeeps, the Grand Wagoneer more specifically and its hefty price tag. There is really no way I would ever consider that option up next to a comparable Lexus with a $70-80k pricetag on it. I certainly wouldn't go after a Lexus with $120k price tag like the Jeep option even if I was flush with cash, it just would never happen. I have had a brand new vehicle before and will never go that route again because of the high prices and the instant depreciation. I am perfectly comfortable and satisfied with a gently used, certified pre owned Toyota/Lexus around $30k or under. These cars/trucks across the board these days are just not all they are cracked up to be anymore in my opinion as most brands have really gone down the tubes (including some of Toyota/Lexus) these last 3 to 5 years or so. I just want quality, a decent looking and reliable ride, nothing overly glammed up or flashy as I really have nothing to prove to anybody. The car is not an extension of my worthiness as a person on this planet.. if that is you then so be it. I'd go back to a car from the 60's, 70's, 80's if it was in good shape.
On that grand wagoneer that was really expensive you should know that when you looked and it had the V6 hurricane engine you have to look in the options because it could be replaced by the v8 so it might not really have a V6 in it it might have been replaced with a v8 in the opinions list. Just been in the car business my entire life so i know a few things
Thanks mate enjoy your channel,being a car nut and an American vehicle lover your prices are still dooo,able compared to here in Australia,and now your new presidents got some interesting ideas on import /export duty,s which will hurt the buying price here ,and yes i agree Lexus is great value and based on Toyota components generally very reliable. Drive safe bloke Kym Adelaide
prices of autos the last couple years got me thinking everyone’s pay other than mine must have increased substantially cuz how else can ppl afford these prices? I must be financially poor even tho I have zero debt cuz I can’t contemplate paying the the average $45k auto
And you can't buy any small trucks but I found out why a lot of times it government regulation and penalties on manufacturers that raise the cost all these vehicles and inflation and supply shortages and scarcity
I have owned two jeeps. This is why i will never buy another. Bought a Chrysler. It needed a new engine within the main warranty period. They denied it because all of the oil changes were not completed at the dealership. Stay away from this company!
Hahaha, when he founds a giant Sprinter bigger than the Grand Wagoneer,he says is great for your family adventures and all the stuff you can carry, so it's better. When he founds a Q8, smaller than the Grand Wagoneer, he says you seldomly will fill up that huge Jeep, so the Audi is better.😂
I've owned numerous Wranglers 4 or 5 Cherokees (3 XJs) 3 Grands (ZJ's) 1 Wagoner and a Comanche.I felt a departure starting in 2006 and a general distaste for the name now.Way to turn an actual fan. They have gotten so far away from where they began, I dont see them bouncing back anytime soon

Jeep Wranglers have the highest resale of all brands SUVs with high resale value include: Jeep Wrangler: A midsize SUV with a 5-year resale value of 91.1%. Some Wrangler models can retain over 60% of their original price after five years. Toyota 4Runner: A 5-year resale value of 73.88%. Toyota Land Cruiser: A 5-year resale value of 73.83%. Toyota RAV4: A 5-year resale value of 73.10%. Subaru Crosstrek: A crossover SUV with a 5-year resale value of 69.8%. Lexus UX 200: A luxury subcompact SUV with a 5-year resale value of 66.4%. Toyota Corolla Cross: A small/compact SUV with a 5-year resale value of 68.6%. Lexus NX 350: A luxury small/compact SUV with a 5-year resale value of 66%. Lexus RX 350: A luxury midsize SUV with a 5-year resale value of 65.3%. Lexus LX 570: A luxury large SUV with a 5-year resale value of 63%.
The Key to the Pricing: Just add a mouthful of words or acronyms for the type of Jeep it is and that means at least 10,000.00 more for each word in the title.
I'd get the Yukon Denali or even better the AT4. My most luxurious vehicle was an F150 limited and I would never do it again. By the way I bought that truck used with 10,000 miles for $41K but it sticker for $55K so that was 2014 so just look at how much the price has increased in 10 years.
Jeep prices are absurd, however you are not comparing same size vehicles. The Grand Wagoneer is a massive 3 row SUV and most of the other vehicles you compared to are just not the same size.
I'll just keep maintaining and fixing my '17 Ram, thank you very much. They've tricked people into thinking $50,000-$100,000+ is a good price for a Jeep product. Give me a break. Although I somewhat agree that you'd might as well get a true luxury brand instead of a Grand Wagoneer, just wait until you have to fix that luxury car. You're going to regret it.
Jeeps are way overpriced. When I was considering getting a new Wrangler 4xe not affected by the battery recall, it was in the mid mid 70s. I ended up buying a really nice Defender 110 instead and it's a nice upgrade and step up from my previous Jeep.

Luxury and Jeep should never be in the same sentence 😑 EVER or reliability 🤭
I paid about $114,800 for my house in 2012. If I wanted a "JEEP", I want one like Daisy Duke (Catherine Bach) had on "The Dukes of Hazzard", or the one Pam Dawber had on "Mork & Mindy". Maybe 4WD, or maybe RWD. A simple, functional workhorse.
118k is absolutely insane for known issues with quality. Regardless of depreciation, family size, income, net worth. I could have 6 kids,wife and a million dollars in bank and still would not buy that. A RV or fixer upper home in the sticks makes more sense. lol. Wtf is the dealer smoking, cr@ck is wack.🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
A 118k vehicle is not marked to people with a million in their bank account, champ. Add a zero to that.
*Poor person bleats out how they would live if they were wealthy. Doctors report a major increase in eyeroll-related injuries.*
It is like the auto industry forgot the lesson that Henry Ford taught about economics of scale and selling to the entire middle/working class with an affordable product.
The bean counters don't look at things that way anymore. It's all about profit margin per vehicle, and luxury priced SUVs and trucks are what bring them the most profit per unit sold. They could give two shits what the average middle class American wants and needs.
Local Jeep dealer has a 2023 Grand Wagoneer advertised at $15K under MSRP. Comically that "discount" is not sufficient to get the thing sold.
Bitcoin hit 95,000, which is more crazy? We are not in normal times.
Fair point
FYI a couple of cars you pointed at as having "flat" paint, was incorrect. They were non-metallic, glossy finish colors, not "flat," which refers to the non-reflective, almost industrial/military like finish available as special order on some vehicles.
The last 2 ram trucks I owned were both garbage. I will never buy a turbo engine. I will only buy naturally aspirated.
Same here. The last Ram truck I had had so many problems that I could write a book on its poor build quality and cheap parts.
Which turbo Ram trucks did you have?
You should be comparing the Waggoneers with GM and Ford full size SUV's. I used to work at a C, D, J, R dealership and we had Waggoneers and Hornets that we had since there were shipped to our dealership that they were first models. The problem is when someone wants to test drive, you have to jump it. When jumping a Hornet R/T, you have to charge the battery for 2 hours and then program the modules. C, D, J, R vehicles are overpriced because they are putting all the bells and whistles in the vehicles.
Unreliable vehicle, nothing that represents status, poor quality at ridiculous prices, Stellantis goes bankrupt.
I will say I've almost owned almost every brand and I love my 4×e Rubicon with a Rubicon x package. Better than any car on the road. I got $13,000 off of it. I do agree with you All of the car prices are way too high!!
I just purchased a brand new 2025 RAV 4. It cost me a whopping $30,000 with some nice options added in. My previous one lasted 17 years with almost no repairs required. Try doing that with a Jeep.
you can fix broken but you cant fix stupid 🤗
My first house was 90K. A very nice 4 bed ranch all brick with 2 acres of land in 1995. Less than 30 years later a truck that will be in the junkyard in a few years costs about the same.
Bought a Jeep a couple years ago. Had no idea insurance classified it as a “luxury car”.
Off road luxury, which most don’t even go off road
I really like when the salesperson says they are losing money.
Right. I know a Dodge Ram jeep GM who was making approximately half a Million a few years ago but I think hes not making close to that today.
The Wagoneer was THE picture of American Luxury SUVs in the '80s. They're just trying to return to form.
I get your point with the Mercedes and agree with you. But with that said, you need to research the power of those hurricane HP. They make crazy power. It might only last 20k miles but they make great power
I'm 51yrs old. $40,000 weekly and *I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways that I remember my past of how I struggled with many things in life to be where I am today!!!!* ❤️
Hello how do you make such?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down myself because of low finance but I still believe in God
It's Maria Frances Hanlon doing, she's changed my life.
Same here
waking up every 14th of each
month to 210,000 dollars it's a blessing to l and my family... I can now retire knowing that I have a steady income❤️Big gratitude to
Maria Frances Hanlon
I do know Ms. Maria Frances Hanlon, I also have even become successful....
Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Ms. Maria Frances Hanlon.
I really want to meet the person who paid $118K for a Jeep.
It's wild that anyone would pay for that..... 😂😂
Jeep SUV more expensive than Mercedes GLS? F. That.
Rented a Jeep for a weekend trip, and nothing in it said luxury brand.
Head over to the Acura dealership and show the MDX. SH-AWD, N/A 3.5L engine, great value and tech for money and one-ups Lexus with their fwd and turbo vehicles.
Crazy depreciation on those after leaving the dealership
Parts delays across the board for a ton of models with no ETA. Dealers Can’t sell the vehicles on their lot. Dodge, Jeep and ram are going to the highest bidder. Stellantis has to sell the brands.
I'm not sure I've ever ever seen a grand wagoneer on the road. When did jeep start making giant SUVs?
That square body would look good next to my K5 Blazer. And damn, I remember it wasn't long ago that a car that cost 100K or more would be something really special-not some generic-looking mall crawler mom-mobile.
I wonder what repair and maintenance costs look like for the ineos
The basic Jeep design was created in 1937. I think their development course have long ago been paid for sure. They’ve updated a few things here and there, but the essential design is still the same. They play the same design going on 100 years.
No Jeep should cost over $30,000 to 35,000.
Just checked out a Grand Wagoneer on Jeep Canada to see the insane price. They are offering an $11,000 discount but it only applies if you finance it over 84 or 96 months at 5.49% interest. Doing the math and financing it at 72 months without their discount but a higher price for the jeep, you still save money. What crooks.
That is some deceptive stuff right there.
@@MotorFeed Yeah, offering a product at a disclosed price with a clearly-published interest rate and payment schedule is so shady and deceptive.
What next? Credit cards that cost you money if you don't pay in full every month? The horror.
I really like the Ineos but I don't have a dealer anywhere even remotely close to me.
I'm a Toyota/Lexus person all the way through myself. Around 20-25 years ago or so I had strong leanings towards BMW and Mercedes when it came to what a luxury vehicle is and should be. They are both nice brands but just not my cup of tea anymore. As I discovered Toyota and Lexus since that time.. and I know those brands are not everyone else's cup of tea either so please spare me.
With that said I look at these Jeeps, the Grand Wagoneer more specifically and its hefty price tag. There is really no way I would ever consider that option up next to a comparable Lexus with a $70-80k pricetag on it. I certainly wouldn't go after a Lexus with $120k price tag like the Jeep option even if I was flush with cash, it just would never happen.
I have had a brand new vehicle before and will never go that route again because of the high prices and the instant depreciation. I am perfectly comfortable and satisfied with a gently used, certified pre owned Toyota/Lexus around $30k or under.
These cars/trucks across the board these days are just not all they are cracked up to be anymore in my opinion as most brands have really gone down the tubes (including some of Toyota/Lexus) these last 3 to 5 years or so. I just want quality, a decent looking and reliable ride, nothing overly glammed up or flashy as I really have nothing to prove to anybody. The car is not an extension of my worthiness as a person on this planet.. if that is you then so be it. I'd go back to a car from the 60's, 70's, 80's if it was in good shape.
I wouldn’t consider any of these with the exception of a Lexus over the Jeep,not that I would consider that wagoner either.
We have been tricked into believing we need luxury things, you need things that work, that's it.
On that grand wagoneer that was really expensive you should know that when you looked and it had the V6 hurricane engine you have to look in the options because it could be replaced by the v8 so it might not really have a V6 in it it might have been replaced with a v8 in the opinions list. Just been in the car business my entire life so i know a few things
Our local Jeep dealer is getting desperate. Offering $50 Amazon cards if you schedule a test drive. It’s cheaper to buy a Tesla.
Crazy thing is, I see more and more on the road. If I had a 100k, I’m going to buy a house.
Thanks mate enjoy your channel,being a car nut and an American vehicle lover your prices are still dooo,able compared to here in Australia,and now your new presidents got some interesting ideas on import /export duty,s which will hurt the buying price here ,and yes i agree Lexus is great value and based on Toyota components generally very reliable.
Drive safe bloke

prices of autos the last couple years got me thinking everyone’s pay other than mine must have increased substantially cuz how else can ppl afford these prices? I must be financially poor even tho I have zero debt cuz I can’t contemplate paying the the average $45k auto
I'm could replace my Grand Cherokee Altitude but not buying at these prices...no way. Might just buy a restomod instead.
Great review ! How about small basic cars ?
There aren't any.
And you can't buy any small trucks but I found out why a lot of times it government regulation and penalties on manufacturers that raise the cost all these vehicles and inflation and supply shortages and scarcity
@@lot2196 Nissan versa and a Mitsubishi have a small car under 20k brand new. Nissan 3 year 36k warranty and 10 year 100k for Mitsubishi.
I have owned two jeeps. This is why i will never buy another. Bought a Chrysler. It needed a new engine within the main warranty period. They denied it because all of the oil changes were not completed at the dealership. Stay away from this company!
Great points in this video. I wouldn't have thought the European cars would be an alternative to a jeep.
Hahaha, when he founds a giant Sprinter bigger than the Grand Wagoneer,he says is great for your family adventures and all the stuff you can carry, so it's better. When he founds a Q8, smaller than the Grand Wagoneer, he says you seldomly will fill up that huge Jeep, so the Audi is better.😂
Thank you for the video.
Please make a vid about Subaru, Mazda or Mitsubishi. Greeting from Bavaria.
If these things were half price, they’d be pretty decent
I've owned numerous Wranglers 4 or 5 Cherokees (3 XJs) 3 Grands (ZJ's) 1 Wagoner and a Comanche.I felt a departure starting in 2006 and a general distaste for the name now.Way to turn an actual fan. They have gotten so far away from where they began, I dont see them bouncing back anytime soon
I currently own two XJs and one comanche. Ive owned muktiple wjs zjs and a wagoneer. I would never EVER buy a post 2006 jeep. My wife drives my 2006 4runner and from here on out all im buying for daily drivers are toyotas(not the newest generation). But im gonna continue to hoard xjs and i really want a 5.9 zj.
Mercedes QUIETLY doubled their incentives on most of its line over the weekend.
What could go wrong? Jeep is suddenly a luxury brand
Jeep hasn’t been cheap since you could get one in an army surplus crate that you had to assemble yourself. Jeep was never bargain-basement.
If people read reliability and resale data, no one would ever buy a Jeep.
Jeep Wranglers have the highest resale of all brands SUVs with high resale value include:
Jeep Wrangler: A midsize SUV with a 5-year resale value of 91.1%. Some Wrangler models can retain over 60% of their original price after five years.
Toyota 4Runner: A 5-year resale value of 73.88%.
Toyota Land Cruiser: A 5-year resale value of 73.83%.
Toyota RAV4: A 5-year resale value of 73.10%.
Subaru Crosstrek: A crossover SUV with a 5-year resale value of 69.8%.
Lexus UX 200: A luxury subcompact SUV with a 5-year resale value of 66.4%.
Toyota Corolla Cross: A small/compact SUV with a 5-year resale value of 68.6%.
Lexus NX 350: A luxury small/compact SUV with a 5-year resale value of 66%.
Lexus RX 350: A luxury midsize SUV with a 5-year resale value of 65.3%.
Lexus LX 570: A luxury large SUV with a 5-year resale value of 63%.
The Key to the Pricing: Just add a mouthful of words or acronyms for the type of Jeep it is and that means at least 10,000.00 more for each word in the title.
Considering Luxury depression, these Wagoneers will be 50k or less within 2 years.
The x5 xdrive40i is the recommended one and it's under $68k.
They are literally twice as expensive as they should be yet Stellantis is whining why won't anybody buy our cars?
I'd get the Yukon Denali or even better the AT4. My most luxurious vehicle was an F150 limited and I would never do it again. By the way I bought that truck used with 10,000 miles for $41K but it sticker for $55K so that was 2014 so just look at how much the price has increased in 10 years.
The depreciation will be brutal on these.
Jeep prices are absurd, however you are not comparing same size vehicles. The Grand Wagoneer is a massive 3 row SUV and most of the other vehicles you compared to are just not the same size.
Insanity for a Jeep or RAM! I ordered a new luxurious Lexus LC500 coupe, with a V8. For $104,000.00. Not including the military discount.
Do car manufacturers expect us to get a 30yr mortgage to buy their vehicles? No thank you!
It was crazy seeing them not even trying to hide their greed, now it’s hilarious seeing them meet karma 😆
They can keep them at those prices !!! 🤣
I'll just keep maintaining and fixing my '17 Ram, thank you very much. They've tricked people into thinking $50,000-$100,000+ is a good price for a Jeep product. Give me a break. Although I somewhat agree that you'd might as well get a true luxury brand instead of a Grand Wagoneer, just wait until you have to fix that luxury car. You're going to regret it.
How much does it cost to service each of the vehicles
should have had the cadilac escalade and the licolon navigator on here. you can get a 2025 escalade for 81,000.
2024
Jeeps are way overpriced. When I was considering getting a new Wrangler 4xe not affected by the battery recall, it was in the mid mid 70s. I ended up buying a really nice Defender 110 instead and it's a nice upgrade and step up from my previous Jeep.
if that car can flying i don't mind that price but just like regular car in that price no way i rather buy me a house 😂😂😂
Buy a travel trailer or house in a cheap state..
If I was in the market for a new car (which I'm not), I would probably pick a Toyota 4Runner or a Subaru Outback.
