Has 20K miles and a total of $14,400 in upgrades. This is through a dealership. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

14k in upgrades? sounds like over priced add on's.
What i would ponder is why the first person dumped it? 20k miles and done with it, why? is it like changing socks? or was it an issue prone vehicle that they said had enough?
caveat emptor.

I would look it up on Kelly Blue Book. Because with our declining economy, Dealer prices are all over the board.

That doesn't ring true to me. What thinking person would drop $14.4K in accessories into a leased vehicle.
I'd offer 10% off NADA retail for a "clean" vehicle with 20K miles and no add on for any accessories. If the Jeep has any certain upgrades that you would add if you bought a stock vehicle, then I'd add about half of what that particular upgrade might cost to the offer. When buying any vehicle, you're in control because you're the one with the money. Always be prepared to walk if the dealer won't sell on your terms. There are plenty of Wranglers for sale, and as the economy gets deeper in the depths, there will be even more for sale as repos.
Call any repo company and ask if they've been busy.
Good Luck, L.M.

When haggling with a dealer, they try to find everything they can to justify a higher cost. As a buyer, you need to find "faults" to counter this and justify why you aren't going to pay what they ask for. Typically, I have to stand up to leave one or two times before the salesman gets his boss who actually has the authority to make a deal. $14K in Upgrades? Does this include oversize tires? Well, you expect the jeep to come with tires, so this doesn't add value. They make it more attractive to buy but doesn't impact the price. Same goes for a lot of other "upgrades". If not done correctly or cheap parts used, "upgrades" may cost you money in the future if you have to correct them. Not seeing the jeep, an example would be larger tires again. Is the jeep regeared properly for the larger tires, etc.? At minimum, is the speedometer corrected? Does it have a lift? What brand? It may provide a harsher ride than stock did. Not done correctly, may cause tire wear. So "upgrades" or modifications don't usually add value to a Jeep.
