Thoughts on trading in Jeep with no front swaybar

Caught the Bug
So I’ve started giving serious consideration to moving on from my 2 door JK. For the past year, it has had no front swaybar.

It drives absolutely fine but will it cause me any issues trading it in that way?

I'll be in your neighborhood next Wed. I'd be happy to drop off or meet you somewhere to give you the one I forgot to give you last year.😏

Yup... All they care about is making that sale... and they probably won't even notice. When they go through the Jeep to re-sell it, I'm sure they will throw one on, with their dime.

With everything except the most desirable vehicles dealerships send most of the trade-ins to auction anyway, they could probably give a shit if it has a front sway bar.

Agreed. I bet 90% of the salesman wouldn't even know it was missing. They'll buy it and the PDI tech will catch it when they go to re-sale it.
 
Traded in a TJ once with no rear driveshaft. The old (broken) one was sitting in the back and they still didn't notice and gave me private party blue book on it...

I bet they won't care even if they did notice.

Agreed... We are a dying race :grayno:

I'll be buying an Unlimited next but will keep the 2 door undoubtedly :yup:

Oh and OP, send it in! As said they won't think twice about making the deal. :thumb:

I can personally tell you that a sales guy will not even know it is missing. You should see the shit our used car manager brings down to us AFTER he buys it from the customer and then he get furious about what he needs to spend to get it thru inspection. Drives me nuts every time cause it’s somehow the techs fault he has to spend $xxxx amount to get it right
 
I traded in my 14’ sport jk years ago with a whoooole bunch of things wrong and they didn’t notice a single thing. I’d go for it.

Traded in my XJ for my first 2 door jk with a broken endling and a blown head gasket. Have not given it a second thought until now, still don't feel bad about it.
