Jeep resale beats Tacoma, and don’t buy a BMW.

Interesting. I’m surprised both Jeep models beat the Taco fit resale. Not surprised that BMW sedans make up most of the “money put” category.

The Best resale:



The Worst resale:

 

Sure, believe that if you want. I'm thinking there is some skewed data there.

 

yeah i gonna have to say bullshit, have you looked at the price of a nice condition 1st gens or 2nd gens compared to jeeps of similar years, its not even close i would say.

 

I’m the first to admit the TFL guys are industry shills that generally hate Tacoma, but they do quote a study that came to these conclusions.

Is there a competing list?

 

I don't know if you could really put together a list that truly compares them as similars, short of comparing actual precentage of resale compared to price paid new. And i still highly doubt jeep would win that one. The hard part is jeeps come in like 400 different configurations per model and tacomas come in very few by comparison.

 

Here is the study they are referencing. Both 2019 and 2018 lists are linked below.

Feel free to pick it apart with your own data or “butt dyno” type truths.

My buddy just picked up a 09 jeep Unlimited Sahara for $15k with 120xxx miles... His brother got a 2nd gen 07 taco with 160xxx miles for $16k lol

ok I guess I see the difference

 

Why does Tacoma World love TFL? Never even heard of them until I came here

 

They are like an oozing sore I can’t stop picking at. I feel drawn to them because I know they hate the Tacoma.

 

I thought the Wrangler comes in Sport, Sahara, and Rubicon 2 and 4 doors with occasional special editions? Tacoma has SR, SR5, Sport, OR, Limited, and Pro, some are available in Access Cabs, Double Cabs, 2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive, manual and automatic so there are quite a few Tacoma configurations.

 

The “Maserati Quattovavole” is a most exciting sounding name for a car, but every Maserati looks like a Chinese knock-off of a Ford Probe to me. I can’t understand the appeal. I question that they are actually built in Italy, because they are so totally bland to look at.

no thanks.

 

Maybe Jeeps hold great resale value because so many parts are brand new, even on used ones. Ya know, part breaks and you replace it. Repeat constantly the entire time you own a Jeep. BMW? Toss in the trash can as soon as your warranty runs out.

 

lmfao!!!!

 

Tables have been added to the original post for ease of reference.

 

Can you imagine some guy drove that off the lot after dropping a $100K on it.

 

I don’t think they hate Tacoma. I think they agree with some users here that the powertrain sucks. Other than that I feel like they think it’s pretty solid and best in the segment. I think they, like some of us, feel this truck is capable of more.

 

I’d take that all day over my taco...

 

Driving one... they can be a fun car. Quick and fun but the best thing going for them is the exhaust sound. The sound is so sexy in sport mode when getting on it, similar to what one would want from Ferrari sounds imo. Take out that sound, and an optioned out Camry would be plenty similar.

But, are they worth what the sticker price is, hell no. If I had to put an msrp on one, I'd knock $30k off without a doubt and that's still leaving room for reasonable cost of the badge tax. I refer to it as the Fiat...which it is. It's not the quattro, but a new top of the line Ghibli, but same shit.

But on the same token, plenty of people willingly spend $60k and even more on a Gladiator because it's a Jeep truck. They look cool once you dump $20k in mods but...that's crazy money. Plenty of people who want to buy them second hand keeps prices high. You can find out of warranty $70k+ BMW/Mercedes/Maserati etc all day for cheap since nobody wants to take the risk of very expensive parts breaking. Add the fact that stuff isn't built to last and that's going to continually get worse.

 

KBB has the Tacoma above the Wrangler:

Just can't like your Tacomas, without bashing everything else ever made, priceless.
