    What to expect with a $10,000 budget

    Thanks for the help, all. Ended up getting the green one. Had a pre purchase inspection done, and the guy took 3 hours. He concluded it's mechanically stout & has been pretty well taken care of, considering age & "it's a Jeep". Interior and paint could obviously use some work, but everything...

    What to expect with a $10,000 budget

    Oh no, I'm just trying to make sense of the towed-for-half-its-miles claim. Could be! Absolutely. Thank you. I'll get the VIN today and try to pull its carfax report

    What to expect with a $10,000 budget

    Everyone seems to dig the white one. Hoping for more pictures today, and seeing in person later this week. It looks sweet. I know these Jeeps are dependable, but 225,000mi on the drivetrain (assuming odo miles are driven miles only, AND it was towed 75k+) makes me hesitant. Is there any chance...

    What to expect with a $10,000 budget

    Absolutely, thank you. A lot of y'all are liking that '99 Sahara I linked in the OP. I've texted the guy with a few questions, waiting to hear back. In the mean time, how does this one compare: https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/6161399480.html Lots of new parts, and new tires. North Texas...

    What to expect with a $10,000 budget

    I appreciate the quick response guys. Yeah, I'm a former Tacoma owner, so I know the kinds of issues rust can cause. Thanks for the encouragement re: high mileage. It's reassuring. I'll probably check out that white one. It looks clean in the pictures. If the interior looks nice, I might be more...

    What to expect with a $10,000 budget

    Hello from north Texas. After lurking and browsing similar threads here and on wranglerforum, I decided to go ahead and make my own thread, hoping y'all might be able to help me find a used TJ. I appreciate any help at all. Budget: ~$10,000 6cyl, manual. Leaning toward soft top, being in TX and...
