The 2016 Jeep Wrangler earned a spot on KBB.com’s 2016 Best Resale Value list
Did you know that the moment you drive off a dealership lot in your fancy-schmancy, brand-new car, it automatically loses the majority of its value? It’s a scary truth we all have to face when we consider purchasing a new car, so it’s important to look at vehicles that retain their resale value extremely well. That’s where Kelley Blue Book’s 2016 KBB.com Best Resale Value list comes in handy.

Every year, KBB.com posts a list of the vehicles in each segment that will keep their value well. This year, the 2016 Jeep Wrangler made a lasting impression in the Compact SUV/Crossover segment. The Wrangler established itself as a true American icon, retaining 64.3% of its value over the course of 36 months and 53.9% of its value over 60 months.
With the no-frills base Wrangler Sport trim starting with a price tag just under $25,000, you might say that this rugged Jeep’s resale value is quite the number. Add the fact that many Wrangler owners add aftermarket parts to make it even more off-road ready, and the Jeep Wrangler will definitely get you more bang for your buck.
