Wow, it looks good for having gone nearly 1/4 of a million miles! My 2008 GS is just over a grand away from 100k, but my rear bumper cover and quarter panel got ****ed up by someone who was apparently unfamiliar with the basic rules of parking a car (1. Don't hit the cars parked next to the spot you're aiming for; 2. If contact does occur, take responsibility and leave a note on the car you hit)

Having said that, based on a quick autotrader search I would be surprised if you got any more than $8–9K for it. If it were me, I'd keep the GS and get a V8!

Is there any particular V8 you've got in mind?

From what I've witnessed (through several friends), run as far away from the Jeep as possible. Those things are ticking time bombs.

ive heard that about the older models, but the 2014-up have been good...even with nitrous. We sold my Wifes CTS-V to buy our new house, and we want something fast again..

Another CTS-V sounds much better! My friend has a 2015 SRT8 with less than 20k on it, and it's already been to the shop 4 times for different issues. On top of that, he installed an aftermarket exhaust, and the whole thing wouldn't turn on. When he finally got it running again, it's been dash lights galore ever since, haha. They're sweet looking, but man... I'd be weary.
