Jeep Wrangler Prices
I'm thinking about buying a Jeep Wrangler as a towed vehicle behind a motorhome. My first thought was to buy one a few years old to save some money. So I looked up the price for a 2014 Jeep Wrangler...

Went through the same thing when buying something to tow. During our Big Adventure, we didn't tow anything. We ended up spending $3000 on rental cars. During the six months on the road, I did and informal poll of what class As were towing (looked at every class A going by) and 95 percent were CR-Vs or some flavor of Jeep. So of course, when it came time to buy, I started shopping for one of those. Talk about sticker shock. A ten year old CR-V with 200,000 miles and a beat up interior for $18,000??? No Thanks.
I got a 3 year old Equinox for the same price. Underpowered, but considered to be one of
If you found numbers like that, while shopping for a CRV, you must of been online shopping using the zip code for a remote Alaskan Village, or maybe an island in the south Pacific? Last summer I bought a three year old CRV with 28K miles, in excellent condition, for exactly $18K. It was from a new car dealer, detailed, inspected, 120 point checklist, and had full service records. Here in the Mid-Atlantic, ASKING price for a ten year old CRV with that kind of miles is in the $6-8K range. If you drop back to a 12-15 year old unit, you can find ones with half that mileage, in very good condition, in the $3-5K range. Not to mention that a CRV will be running long after any small GM SUV is just a memory.
