    Might have found a gem (300k mile Rubicon)

    There is an 06 Rubicon in less ideal shape but still decent an hour away from me. 6 speed and has not had the OPDA replaced. Paint is rough. 100k miles, owner said bottom dollar is $9,000.

    The next nicest one around here has over 150k and is listed at over $14,000. Even ones with rust and untreated frames and higher mileage are fetching well over $10,000. This is by far the cleanest example. It's at a small dealer in a small town right now. One owner, older gentleman, highway...

    I currently daily a 2.5L automatic TJ with 183k miles. I can imagine this would be a very nice upgrade. I'm very familiar with the platform & handy enough to do my own maintenance.

    Am I insane for wanting to drive 3 hours to look at this 2004 TJ Rubicon with over 300k miles? It's at a dealer, and they're asking $8,900. They said bottom dollar would be $8,000.
