This illustrates just how much fat is built into car pricing in this country.

Applies to 2023 model only however I still agree with your final point. Cars are overpriced (as are houses) yet while demand outstrips supply it will remain that way.

Could be free and I still wouldn't own a Jeep

Jeep died with their tough as nails I6 in the late 1990s

I know someone who had one of those, it was just as bad as the Range Rover that replaced it, always something wrong with the thing, even one of the headlights fell out onto the road while sitting at the traffic lights. Just American made junk.

I'd believe it, I have photos sitting around somewhere of our customers 1990s Jeep Cherokee where the doors literally fell off it.

We'd repair the wiring loom in the door which fell off.

That 4L I6 was bullet proof though, it was always fixing the shitbox that housed it.

That's a reality moment right there. We had an older model GC overseas and as a new hire car it was quite nice - so checked them out and gasped at the price seeing 70's and 80s asked. Thought it would be selling in 50s to 60s. Their sales results are a pity as the design of it is really good, and it's still one of the only ways to get AWD/4x4 and a petrol 6.

Edit: if only the Americans had listened to this man
