I don't know if this has been announced yet, but I looked at the difference in Kelley Blue Book trade-in values for a 2007 Grand Cherokee Hemi and the Diesel on a GC Limited.
All other things being equal, the diesel vehicle got $350 more than Hemi vehicle at trade-in. How much more is the diesel option compared to the Hemi option when new? As a guess, probably $2000-$3000?
Diesel services may be more expensive, but there should be less of it.
Diesel fuel economy on slightly more expensive fuel is ~20-40% better overall. But with MDS and VCT, the Hemi is very good also.
The Ram 2500-up trucks-only BlueTEC/soot regen emissions system and ULSD fuel were extremely clean at the time, but may be 45 state-only compliant by now. It depends on which way state legislation goes.
A dealer may be the first to know pricing when it's available. Give them a call or have them call you when the pricing is finalized?
