I went on Jeeps website and speced out a base 2-door JL as close to my TJ as possible. The price was $40480 for the AT and $35,980 for the manual. The lowest priced 2-door JL on a dealer lot within 100 miles of me is 46k + dealer BS and TTL. So it ends up being 50k OTD.
Of course, the JL has more standard features than the TJ and more features = more cost.
I would really like to see a base 2-door sport built like a TJ. No frills, manual windows, manual locks, snap in carpet, no rear seat. Just a blank canvas that the owner can use to build the Jeep they want.
Priced at around 25-28k, I think a Jeep like that would be a big seller.
50k OTD for a 2-door Jeep is why TJ's are holding their value.
