Jeep Wrangler Depreciation & Resale Value

Jeep Wrangler keeps an estimated 76% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #33 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Jeep Wrangler retains an estimated 76% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #33 of 530 cars we track. That is 19 points above the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Jeep Wrangler sheds about 5% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $36,035 it falls to around $27,422 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,613, about $4.72 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Jeep Wrangler bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
