Market Highlights
- The TJ Enthusiast Market: By 2026, the 1997-2006 'TJ' Wrangler has solidified its status as the most desirable modern-classic Jeep. Its compact size, coil-spring suspension, and simple mechanicals make it a favorite for those who find the newer JL and JK models too bloated or complex.
- Southern California Premium: In Santa Ana and the surrounding SoCal region, 'rust-free' TJ Wranglers command a 15-20% premium over East Coast or Midwest examples. Buyers are willing to pay more for a chassis that hasn't seen road salt, ensuring the vehicle's longevity as a lifestyle or trail rig.
- Sahara Trim Desirability: The Sahara was the top-tier luxury trim in 2002, featuring body-colored fender flares, unique green/tan interior color schemes, and upgraded seats. This 'classic' aesthetic is highly prized by collectors, keeping resale values significantly higher than the base SE or Sport trims.
