In February I bought a used 2011 Jeep Liberty Jet , loaded with every option for $14k. The owner needed to sell quick, and I needed a car since my job required me to travel outside of the city. It was an impulse buy for a good deal and figured I could live with the jeep since my family owned jeeps for a long time. I came from owning a srt4 before moving to the city. No car for 5 years.
Fast forward to August and I couldn't live with the Jeep, not for reason because of the car, "Its not you it's me" sort of deal just didn't fit my style.
Been searching for cars since I got the jeep weighing my options to sell private or trade in. Researching what cars fit the bill and my driving style.
Test drove my cousins FRS and knew it was a car I could smile at.
3 weeks ago, saw a clean SWP BRZ with 15,000 miles selling for $20,400. Went in told them what I wanted for trade in on my Jeep $15k and told them I wanted 20,400 OTD price 0 down.
They came back with a lowball for the jeep and I smiled and said I am walking. they told me to wait and said they would do it. It was pretty shocking but i guess when you do your research and know what you want the dealers figure your gonna buy on the spot.
Cliff notes: Bought jeep for $14K got trade in for $15K got the real car I wanted with slightly higher car payment $20k but overall took about 2 hours no hassle. No I am worried I bought a car with a crappy resell value. But it puts a smile on my face and beats driving a used higher mileage jeep with no warranty. Used BRZ has 20,000 more on the warranty.
