Is a 2013 e92 with 35k miles really worth $62k now? Market still nuts…that was $40k a couple years ago

Both cars will drop a lot once this market corrects.

People need to stop overpaying like idiots

I agree, but the e92 will be viewed as more of a "classic" in the future due to the unique engine/DCT combo and timeless looks. The LC may not age well in the looks department. I'm sure the LC will be a hell of a lot more reliable, not sure what repair costs are like on an LC but it's still a Lexus so it should be pretty reliable and likely lower cost repairs/maintenance, but I could be wrong. They're kind of apples and oranges IMO, bit of a strange comparison.

LC is insanely overpriced for what it is. Can;t wait for the prices to tank.

love that color


Got mine 2021 Rubi before the 392 was even available, but love it nonetheless

Found a great dealer on the Jeep forums in Idaho that was doing 8% below invoice on factory orders.....He still does those deals btw, if anyone is interested hmu

When everyone is doing EV or hybrid, here comes Mopar stuffing massive engines into everything they can. The real MVPs!

I haven't even taken it off road yet but it's in the plans, may need to find a local Jeep group to guide me as I have no clue where I'd be going lol.

I was a total noob myself when we took it out there....you'll be fine just start on the easier trails, you'll be amazed how capable these things are.

Nice looking Rubicon, they are great rigs. Took one over Imogene Pass last year and was very impressed.

I see a few around my area, too much power with dog shit handing is going to be a bad thing. In general,Jeep bros with all the blue line matters and punisher stickers are what would never get me in one.

Maybe you should try driving one, it’s not Jeep’s fault that you live in the Deep South. No punisher and blue lives matter stickers around here. Can’t imagine anyone driving this thing and not having a blast, it’s fucking awesome.

yeah, that's some pretty silly reasons not to buy a Jeep....although, I doubt there is many cool trails and mountains in Florida....probably a bunch of poser Jeepers
with 22' rims and 30 series tires that have never seen a dirt road

thanks! flew to Boise Idaho to pick ours up a couple years ago and drove it back home to So Cal with stops in Tahoe some trails in Mammoth and than a stop in the Alabama Hills ....what a fun way to get into our first Jeep.

here is a video I did with my drone in the Alabama Hills....place was incredible!

It’s a great vehicle. Would have kept it, if I didn’t total it. I’ll get something else for trail use. Also the larger the tires and more accessories you add, it does slow down the Jeep noticeably. Tons of fun either way but you could feel the added weight of mods.

[P1]

It was considered totaled after that? Doesn't look all that bad.

Whoopsies! I’ve rolled a couple Jeeps on the trails. Roll them back over and keep on trucking. Really surprised that totaled it.

Can nearly buy a TRX for that money, no thanks.

Well that looks like every panel would need to replaced - I can see it! Good on you for having fun with it. Curious how the insurance process worked with the circumstances? I've heard horror stories of them not paying out being off road. The ones I've rolled were dedicated rigs, and almost expected to roll at some point (stretched wheel base, one tons, coil overs, trailered to the trail, etc.).

A TRX won’t even fit in my garage, gets even worse gas mileage, and is absolutely gigantic, it’s almost 3 feet longer than a wrangler. Can’t take the roof off either. No thanks.
