OBX?I suddenly find my self in the same situation. I have been all in on a badlands for months. I want the MGV and do want the 12” screen. Also want the signature headlights and the LED tails. But its an extra $7k to get to that 12: screen.
So now I am thinking maybe it makes more sense to get the Black Diamond. I wont be doing any serious off roading, maybe hit the beach or something, dealing with snow in the winter but thats about it.
If I take the High Package out of the equation the price difference is still pretty big.
Badlands - 2.7/auto/mid = $48,575
Black Diamond - 2.7/auto/mid/advanced 4x4 = $43,325
Savings = $5250
I was probably going to get new wheels anyway, thinking the fifteen52s. So $1250
New tires, 33 or 35” = $1250
Dont like the black diamond grill so new grill = $500
If the jeep market is any indication I will be able to find headlights and tails for around $1000.
Not sure what a 1-2” lift costs? $1500?
I still end up ahead and honestly I would have spent the $2500 on new wheels and tires on the badlands as well so that doesn’t count in my numbers.
Plus I am sure I could either find a trade partner or sell the Steelies, the headlamps and the grill.
Damn I think I just talked myself into a black diamond.
