It has already been published how much used cars have increased in price. A couple of weeks ago, I was offered $30,000 for my 2015 Laramie with 53,000 miles. The dealer didn't have a Wrangler ED on the lot I wanted, so I refused the deal. Similarly, I decided to leave the truck and specially ordered a Wrangler Rubicon ED from another dealer with a 7% discount on the bill.

For the sake of smiles and giggles, I went to the VROOM today we will see what they will offer for Laramie. Their offer today at the current mileage is $30,722. This is 72% of what I paid for it 6 years ago. I called the dealer I ordered my Jeep from, and they said they would beat any online offer by $750,00. Because of these guys, it's hard for me to justify keeping the truck.

Last week I sold a 2015 Wrangler Unlimited Willys (to help pay for the Rubicon I ordered). It was a car I bought at a Copart used car auction two years ago for $10,000. It had a redesigned name, so I put it on the Face Book Marketplace for $22,000, which was 20% cheaper than the Kelly Blue Book. Two hours later I had a loyal customer.
