Quick answer
A 2016 Jeep Wrangler in good condition with average mileage (about 125,000 miles) is worth roughly $13,650 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $12,550 to $14,750, or about $15,700 at a dealer. 2016 is not on our years-to-avoid list, so condition, history, and maintenance matter more than the model year here.
