Is it a four-wheel-drive, or two-wheel-drive? In Texas, my guess is 2WD.
Most used 2009's and 2010's are rental returns (not a bad thing) and are equipped similarly.
A 2009 2WD with under 30K does $17Ks at auction, but there aren't many out there
A similar 2010 does $18Ks at auction, and there are TONS of them.
Right now the 'old' Grand Cherokee is enjoying tremendous downward pressure in the market because of the new-from-the-ground-up 2011 model.
As always, I can get easily you one in Houston, but it's rare for a Pelican to take me up on my offer to help.
However, since they are very easy to replicate, the dealer should easily justify making less profit. If a 2010 is $18K at auction, they should own one for less than $19K on their lot, inspected, and reconditioned. So it should be easy to be under $20K for a 2010, even easier as a 2009.
Hitches are easy on those. Hidden Hitch, Curt, and Draw Tite all sell Class III receivers (2" square) for $100-150, parts only. They do not require drilling, the frames already have the holes. It takes less than an hour to install one, and a Jeep tech that knows what he's doing can do it in less than 30 mins. It is a easy DIY thing. SO..... do NOT negotiate it into the deal thinking that the dealer is 'eating' what they'll tell you is a $500 value. I'd forget negotiating the hitch and do it yourself, IMHO.
