When is best time to trade in/up?
 

I'm driving an 02 GC that's getting close to 50,000 miles. I know most
fleets seem to rotate/trade their cars @ 3 years or 50,000 miles (whichever
comes first).

Is there a good reason for this? Do jeeps resale/tradein values flux much?

Thanks

For trade-in and re-insurance value your better off below 9 years and 90,000 miles.
That's about the cap.

It all depends on demand. Personally I drive my vehicles till the body rots off. :)

No doubt, lower milage vehicles bring better trade-in value.

To me the biggest factor is whether I have built up enough equity in my
vehicle to make the trade feesible.

Only if you are a giant company leasing their vehicles does it
become cost effective for a tax write off at three years, and that's
only to keep the reps happy.
