2019 Jeep Compass Limited
Verdict #829 · 79,661 miles · VIN 3C4NJDCB3KT812471 · Stock #N/A MOOSED
“Fair price, wrong car. The Compass’s 9-speed and oil-burning 2.4L make market price too expensive.”
Pros
- $14,490 is mid-band for 2019 Compass Limited models with 70k-85k miles
- Limited trim is loaded: leather, heated seats, tech
- 79,661 miles is reasonable for a 2019
Cons
- 2.4L Tigershark oil consumption is a pattern failure; the 9-speed ZF is troublesome
- Compass reliability ranks near the bottom of the segment
- At market price, a CR-V or RAV4 of similar age is the smarter buy
Analysis
The price is fair: $14,490 with 79,661 miles sits mid-band against the $14,000-$17,000 range for 2019 Compass Limited models. The car is the problem. The 2.4L Tigershark’s oil consumption and the ZF 9-speed’s shift quality are documented pattern failures, and the Compass’s reliability record trails the segment badly.
At a steep discount, the risk might pencil out. At market price, it doesn’t: the same money buys a higher-mile CR-V or RAV4 with a fraction of the risk. Fair price, wrong vehicle. MOOSED.
Market Comparison
Market check: 2019 Jeep Compass Limited models with 70k-85k miles list nationally around $14,000-$17,000. At $14,490, this example is fairly priced, but the model’s reliability record means market price isn’t a buy price.
