Jeep Compass
The Jeep Compass is a compact crossover that offers an accessible entry point into the Jeep brand. While not a traditional collector car, second-generation Trailhawk models are sought after for their legitimate off-road capability in a modern, efficient package.

The Jeep Compass launched for the 2007 model year as one of the brand's first crossover SUVs, sharing its platform with the Dodge Caliber. The first generation (MK) was a significant departure from traditional body-on-frame Jeeps and is now regarded as a budget-friendly used vehicle. In 2017, the second generation (MP) arrived with vastly improved styling resembling the Grand Cherokee, a higher quality interior, and better driving dynamics, representing a major step forward for the nameplate.
As a collector vehicle, the Compass doesn't have a significant following. It's a modern utility vehicle, and its market is driven by depreciation rather than enthusiast demand. However, certain versions stand out. The second-generation Trailhawk model is the most desirable, equipped from the factory with a 1-inch suspension lift, skid plates, unique bumpers for improved off-road angles, and the Jeep Active Drive Low 4x4 system. These models offer a taste of Jeep's legendary capability in an efficient, compact package.
The market for the Compass is reflective of its position as a daily driver. With an average sale price under $8,000 across a wide range of model years, values are dictated by age, mileage, condition, and trim. Newer Trailhawk models command the highest prices, while early first-generation examples are some of the cheapest ways to get into a modern Jeep.
Buying Tips
- First-generation models often used a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that can be a weak point; check for proper function and service records. Second-generation models use more durable 6-speed and 9-speed automatics.
- Trailhawk models are the most desirable for their off-road equipment and better resale value. Look for the specific red tow hooks, skid plates, and unique fascias.
- Thoroughly test all electronics, as the Uconnect infotainment system and other power accessories can be buggy on some model years.
- Inspect the underbody for rust or damage, especially on 4x4 and Trailhawk models that may have been taken off-road. Check the suspension components for wear.
Observed sales prices range from around $500 for high-mileage examples to over $16,000 for newer, well-equipped models.
