Incompetent CEOs always do the same. They promise to the board to increase profits. Their only strategy is to move their cars into the luxury segment where profit margins are higher and where they think there is less competition. Once this strategy is started it takes 5-10 years to change because you can’t develop new models overnight. Then inevitably the economy slows down, competition gets harder and their cars don’t sell. Happened twenty times before, will happen again.

Which is now $30k more at $110k with no additional upgrades. Nice job Jeep. You have pushed your customers to Bronco or true luxury brands.

its not just Jeep. All manufacturers have increased their prices and dropped their quality. Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Hyundai these budget brands are no longer budget brands. If you don't believe me just go look at their prices. A camry is now 35k and thats an entry level (this around the price of a hyundai tucson SUV). a bone stock 4wheel drive toyota rav4 is now 40k and is built in cambridge ontario. where a car is made is a big factor as to the quality of the vehicle. This is why vins that are japanese-made are worth more than vins that are north american-made. Im not a jeep fanboy by any means. i support japanese brands because of their reliability but i'm realizing that as long as im in north america, these cars are all the same NOW. in this present time. 10-15 years ago was a different story but now i see just as many hyundais and toyotas broken down as much as the american cars are. so will these prices ever come down? well as long as an entry level hyundai tucson costs 35k an entry level wrangler will continue to cost 50k.

I can understand a CEO wanting to rebrand his company and make it into a luxury brand but he needs to understand what he's dealing with - IT'S A FREAKING JEEP FOR HEAVENS SAKE. Never in the history of America has this line of vehicles ever been considered luxury or even upscale in the least bit. It's usually been associated with affordability, outdoorsy and fun loving people or even serious off-roaders. Before the CEO gets his wish granted, he needs to fix the dependability problems which are currently at horrible levels and actually use parts and trim pieces that are associated with upscale luxury vehicles. This is not going to be a brand to achieve luxury level classification before 2030. No! It's going to take a decade or more of solid performance on their part and get it to the level of at least Toyota before the public views it as such.

At least other manufacturers have updated their drivetrains to justify their costs. I am a Jeep person. Most Jeep Wrangler owners have been repeat buyers in the past. Now we are priced out. They have to cater to a clientele that expects more for that price. The current wrangler is not much different than in 2018.

I really want a new gladiator Mojave with the 6speed manual. It's worth $39,000. To bad they think it's worth $66,000. My current truck is a 2018 Silverado 2500 high country diesel. I got every option and paid $60,000 o.t.d. for it brand new.

The dealership I purchased my 14JKR off the floor called me a year ago asked me, if I still owned it, when I replied how many miles it had, service record and condition actually sent a sales rep to my house and made an on the spot offer to buy it back for more than the initial price I paid in 2014 and I could "Get into a new model for only $50K or take the cash offer. I kicked him off my property. Car salesmen are evil crooks.

Jeep quality is terrible. I know several people who bought Jeeps and have had constant issues with them. Now in 2024, Jeep is pricing its vehicles as the same as Lexus. They need to cut prices across the board by 60%, otherwise they will continue to rot away on lots.

I bought a used 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Sport S with the technology package with only 20k miles in 2020 for $27k from CarMax. Took it in to the dealership for oil change, tire rotation, etc. and the dealership offered me $36k. I turned down the offer because I’d only be getting back my $9k down payment and be without a vehicle, and I knew I got a great deal on the Jeep in the first place. Fast forward almost 4 yrs. Still have my Jeep and only have 46k miles on it. I’m 56 yrs old and I’m retired, I have never owned a brand new vehicle because I refuse to pay the outrageous prices of a new vehicle. I’m a person who will drive the same vehicle for decades until the wheels fall off. I’m pride and joy is my 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

Make no mistake Jeeps have been junk for years. I had a 1998 Wrangler that I bought brand new and it was the biggest pile of crap I've ever owned BY FAR. Now that Stellantis/Fiat has had at them they're pure garbage. At their quality level Stellantis wanting to market them as an up scale brand is laughable. With the quality you get a 30% reduction in MSRP just isn't enough.

I see a lot of people blaming the automakers🤦. I'm sorry, but it's really the consumers' fault. You all wanted to pay over MSRP are you really shocked that they raised their prices. People need to start asking what's the price of their vehicle rather than their payment every month.

I had my 2023 stolen it was a Sport unlimited V6 and I loved it. Now I could only find the Sport with a 2 litre turbo. I had to upgrade to a 2024 Sahara to get the V6. It was $12000.00 higher. What helped was Chrysler has a program if your vehicle was stolen you get a $5000.00 rebate on a new one. I applied for the rebate and am waiting for it. They contacted me and said it is coming.
