How Cars Lose Value for the Years
Did you know that a new car, truck, or SUV starts losing value the second it leaves the lot? Some vehicles can lose up to ten percent of their value as soon as the new owner drives off, with an addition 15 to 20 percent coming off after the first year. To put that in a number plain to see, if you buy a $50,000 vehicle, after Year 1, it loses $15,000 in its value. This depreciation is from expected mileage and the wear-and-tear of driving, so it's best to keep your car in top shape to avoid any further loss of value. Now, what makes Jeep Wranglers so special? ÂHow Jeep Wranglers Avoid Depreciation
Think of it this way. The Jeep Wrangler is the cool kid everyone wants to hang out with. The Jeep brand is known for its durability, and its capabilities to handle and sustain its structure over the toughest of terrains. This makes the Jeep Wrangler a popular buy, whether it's a brand-new Wrangler with six miles on the odometer, or an older, used model with six digits on the odometer. The Jeep Wrangler was built to last and keep you driving every mile of the way, and that gives it an additional resale value unrivaled in its competitors, making its later-life depreciation go a little slower than its competitors.How Can You Help Avoid Further Depreciation
The biggest factor in depreciation is age and the rising mileage on the odometer. While it's no easy task, keeping the mileage down will make your Jeep Wrangler worth that much more when the time comes to part ways and upgrade. Jeep drivers are known for upgrading their vehicles, whether it's floor liners, entry guards, soft tops, or racks on top for every off-road adventure. Keeping track of these add-ons will also add on value to your car. It also goes without saying, that regularly maintaining your Jeep Wrangler and staying on top of the simplest things like oil changes will prolong your vehicles life span which, in good condition, can help keep the value up.
