Where a lot of Cherokees in the yard come from individuals who just want them out of their yards, you can sell a junk Wrangler on Craigslist and still get considerably more than the boneyard would pay.
On the other hand, Wrangler people are mostly mall crawlers anyway. The people who do their own work and would want cheap parts are going to gravitate toward the other models.

Nice generalized silly stereotype regarding mall crawlers. Most who talk s*** about mall crawlers are just jealous because they can’t afford a bad ass Jeep. That’s like saying most who buy Miata’s and BRZ are just street drivers because they don’t autocross, silly. Even those of us who do off-road spend more time on pavement because we drive on roads to work. Top down, doors off.
