Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Depreciation & Resale Value

Jeep Wrangler Unlimited keeps an estimated 68% of its recent market value after 5 years — #95 of 530 cars VINdown tracks.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited retains an estimated 68% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #95 of 530 cars we track. That is 10 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 Unlimited sheds about 14% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $45,855 it falls to around $30,997 by year five — a five-year loss near $14,858, about $8.14 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Jeep Wrangler Unlimited bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
