Funny after mths of reading about jeep renegades and following the forums and test driving - and having deposits on TWO renegades - I ended up empty handed.
Last night, after some hard negotiation, I purchased a 2015 GLA250 benz, very good deal, used with ridiculously low miles (9k), for 32,800. 208hp (250+ torque), 8" clearance, 4matic with off road package, heated seats, leather, and humongous dual panoramic power sunroof. Great sight lines and road feel. Not to mention they gave my girlfriend 6,800 for her basic trim 2009 forester with 108k miles.
And the GLA gets 32/24 mpg.
I know you guys want to stay jeep but I was a few hrs from doing paperwork for a 28,130 trailhawk with cold weather group. No sunroof, no leather, 180hp (ugh), and 29/21 mpg.
And resale on a renegade...?! In 2 years these things will be everywhere, my warranty will be expiring, and that trailhawk will be lucky to fetch anywhere even close to 15k. Theres a reason the jeep liberty was rated worst resale value a few yrs ago...and these things will be as ubiquitous.
I think jeep is unreasonable on their prices. Greedy by about 15%. My buddy has a newer Willy's jeep. It was 30-something grand. IT ALSO HAS 285HP. Come on jeep!!
My fathers an Audi guy (Q5, A4) and he convinced me to research the Q3. Well I didn't go q3, but I'm just saying look at a few other cars, especially since these trailhawks are close to X1/Q3/GLA250 territory.
Anyways, been fun hanging out here. Best of luck, do your due diligence, and remember: THEY want YOUR money!! You have the power.
