Used Jeep Compass for Sale nearOmaha, NE

How much does the Jeep Compass cost in today's market?

Used Jeep Compass prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Jeep Compass's current nationwide average price is $19,426, and its lowest point over the past year was $18,989. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Jeep Compass a good car?

Yes — the Jeep Compass is a solid choice if you want Jeep styling, available off-road hardware, and a value-focused compact SUV with broad appeal.

The all-generations owner rating is 4.48/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the Compass for its comfortable interior, useful features, and overall value. Many also highlight its safety features and off-road capability, especially in Trailhawk versions. Across the model line, the Compass also earns credit for blending style with everyday usefulness.

Expert reviews rate the 2023 and 2017 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs show up in the newer expert-tested years: steering and handling can feel less precise than you might want, and some trims climb quickly in price. The powertrain also draws criticism in earlier versions, even as later updates improve refinement and everyday drivability.

34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Jeep Compass models reliable?

Owners and experts consistently point to the Compass’s comfort, value, and improved interior quality as recurring strengths. The model also earns praise for its safety features and, in Trailhawk versions, its off-road capability.

• Owners rate the Jeep Compass between 3.67 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is best managed by choosing a well-maintained example and checking service history closely, especially on older model years.

What should I look for when buying a used Jeep Compass?

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 81.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Forward emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a driver attention monitor come standard.
• Infotainment: A 10.1-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5 software comes standard, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: Fuel economy is EPA-estimated at 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined for all trim levels.

Which Jeep Compass trim should I buy?

The 2024 Jeep Compass offers these trims:

• Sport: The entry trim gives you standard all-wheel drive, the turbocharged engine, a 10-inch infotainment screen, and a strong value proposition for shoppers who want the Compass’s core strengths at the lowest price.
• Latitude: This trim adds more comfort and convenience equipment, making it a smart step up if you want a better-equipped daily driver without jumping too far in price.
• Latitude Lux: This version brings more premium features and opens the door to additional tech and comfort upgrades, making it a good fit if you want a more upscale feel.
• Altitude: This trim adds a more distinctive appearance and can be paired with more advanced driver-assistance content, giving it broad appeal for shoppers who want style and substance.
• Limited: This is the best-value trim for many buyers because it layers in more of the Compass’s desirable tech and safety features while staying below the highest-priced versions.
• Trailhawk: This is the off-road-focused choice, adding a low-range transfer case, a rock mode, Falken all-terrain tires, metal skid plates, and 8.6 inches of ground clearance for buyers who want the Compass’s most capable setup.
• High Altitude: This top trim adds the 10.3-inch digital instrument panel and a more fully equipped cabin for shoppers who want the most advanced presentation.

What Jeep Compass do most buyers choose?

The Jeep Compass years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-volume model years tend to draw more shopper attention because they usually offer a strong mix of availability, pricing, and newer features. That gives you more choices to compare and a better chance of finding the right trim and condition.

What is the Jeep Compass's resale value?

Most Compass model years are down year over year, and several recent years show double-digit drops. That pattern creates more room for used buyers to find value, especially if you’re shopping newer model years that have already moved down from their prior pricing. A few years are falling more slowly than others, which helps explain why some recent models still command stronger prices.

The 2023, 2017, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Jeep Compass safe?

• 2024: 7/10
• 2023: 8/10
• 2022: 7/10
• 2020: 6/10
• 2018: 8/10
• 2017: 6/10
• 2016: 6/10

Forward emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a driver attention monitor come standard.

For the safest used buy, the 2018 and 2023 models both post the highest confirmed score of 8/10.

Should I buy a used Jeep Compass now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −10.94% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −16.32%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 35.7% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 35.6%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $21,109. The Jeep Compass offers Jeep styling, available off-road hardware, and a cabin that feels more modern in later model years.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The turbo-four is rated at 200 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque, and fuel economy is EPA-estimated at 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined for all trim levels.
• Tech: A 10.1-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5 software comes standard, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM, 4G Wi-Fi, and USB-C ports come standard.
• Safety: Forward emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a driver attention monitor come standard.
• Starting price: At $29,995 as-tested with destination, the 2024 Compass Sport comes one way without options and yet offers a lot of SUV for the money.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
