Jeeps bring some good money for sure, I am not sure if a dealer will give you KBB for it but they should give you close to that. I would tell you to go to a few dealers and shop around but that would be hard to do having a reservation placed some where. Maybe a month or two before your Bronco is scheduled have the dealer appraise it and let you know what it will be worth when you pick it up. If it seems low try selling it privately before you pick up your Bronco. But yea you have to remember you would need to get the trade number plus the tax savings to make it worth it. I would recommend getting your Jeep detailed before the appraisal I think it makes a big impression when they see a clean truck. Just my Opinion though.I plan on trading in my 16 JK. Love it and the color actually. Plus it's a manual. But I'm a Ford guy at heart and the Bronco has way to many upgrades even though I'm going base.
Does anyone have any advice trading it in? Should I be happy with blue book or will they even offer that? I know selling outright I could get a good deal being a Jeep, but then taxes go way up on the Bronco. Any advice from you more season car buyers would be greatly appreciated.

I just traded in my 2013 JKU two days ago. I got $500 over KBB. They didn’t even drive it, only started it to verify no CEL and mileage. Damm, JKU hasn't been washed all year long. They don’t care about how clean it is, it is going straight to wholesaler that will clean and replace whatever parts, change oil, etc. The last two vehicles I traded in were also not driven. One was a quote over the phone and was honored, sight unseen until I drove on the lot and the value was honored.I would recommend getting your Jeep detailed before the appraisal I think it makes a big impression when they see a clean truck.
