Dealers have been doing this for decades. Back in the 70's when I worked at Balch Pontiac a guy and me got sent to school and they let us use a brand new Catalina to get there. The speedometer was disconnected for the trip. I also witnessed a few odometer "roll back" jobs.

The Jeep brand is Hot, Hot, Hot. So when that's the case, there won't be any deals. The Jeep Truck, Wrangler, Cherokee, all selling as fast as they can slap them together. Pandemic has barley put a dent in those model sales, at least around here. Grand Cherokee, and the Fiat based Renegade, possibly. But my experience and findings show all Chrysler products depreciate at an incredible rate, one of the reasons I own several. My wife drives a Grand Cherokee that had a 52K sticker, I purchased from the original owner 2 1/2 years old with 13k miles on it for 24K. Dealer would only give her 22K trade-in. It was like brand new. Have you considered a 2-4 year old model?
