Depreciation Insights-
Understanding the Jeep Wrangler depreciation rate helps you gauge how much value you’ll lose or preserve over time. Typically, a new Jeep Wrangler loses around 15‑20% of its value in the first year, then roughly 10‑12% each subsequent year for the first five years. For the older 1998 models, depreciation slows considerably once the vehicle surpasses the 10‑year mark, primarily shifting from “new” to “used” pricing dynamics. Consequently, a well‑maintained 1998 Wrangler may still retain 40‑50% of its “original retail” price after a decade, especially when equipped with desirable off‑road features and a clean title.
What Is a 1998 Jeep Wrangler Worth?
Answering “what is a 1998 Jeep Wrangler worth” requires evaluating several variables: mileage, condition, trim (Sport vs. Unlimited), and additional accessories. On average, respected online markets list buyers looking for a 1998 Wrangler in good condition at between $4,000 and $6,500, depending on mileage (typically <10,000 mi) and historic maintenance records. A model with low mileage, a meticulous service history, and aftermarket upgrades (e.g., upgraded suspension or power windows) can fetch upwards of $7,500.

Key price drivers include the presence of the 4‑wheel drive lock (for genuine off‑road capability), the type of axle protection (snorkels, armored bumpers), and whether the owner kept
