SOLD 2006 Rubicon Low Miles and all stock!

[Kicknstang]

2006 Rubicon TJ. Red with black soft top and black interior. low mileage (80k), all original, unmolested Rubicon. This is my mother-in-laws Jeep. They bought it new so it's one owner, no accidents. Never been in mud. The most off-roading it's done is driving on the beach in OBX during summer vacations. Everything works on it, including the locking differentials. Was always dealer serviced up until about 4 years ago when I started working on it. I can produce all service receipts for work I've done to it and there are a few dealer receipts in the glovebox. It's got brand new BFG A/T KOs on it. All fluids have been done, all filters, plugs, belt, new swaybar links, new steering stabilizer, all new brakes front and rear. New battery this summer. Just passed VA safety inspection. Probably a couple other things I'm forgetting. Just had it completely detailed. Only issue is it leaves a drop or two of oil when parked. In-laws weren't concerned enough to have it repaired. I think it's either oil pan or rear main seal. Clean and clear title in hand Ready to go! Asking $15,500 obo.
VIN: 1J4FA69SX6P785152

How’s the frame look? Any rust?

 

[TJ2]

NOT TOO FAST. They did a good TLC and I give them that, but look closely inside the engine bay....
Radiator frame and bolts are rusted
Hose clips are rusted (should be silvery color)
CAI clips are rusted (should be silvery color)
Some hex head bolts are rusted
Inside center console plastic is worn
Passenger seat is stained

These items I mentioned are the extreme opposite condition of the outside which is very clean and shiny.
I bet if you lift the carpet on the drivers side you will see some trace of rust on the tub flooring.

With that said, it's worth around $12K IMHO. Less $1,000 because it is a soft top if you are good in negotiating.

I am not so sure the seat is stained if you look at the driver seat pic it has the same look, I think it is flash and or lighting issue, if surface rust on bolt tops and clamps is the worst to find then we could eliminate 99% of any TJ out there. I will wait till frame pics show up for final judgement, soft top only might hurt a bit but the "asking" price is no way out of line for a single owner lower mileage rubi.

Lol at the “hose clamps are rusted” and the “center console plastic is worn”. It’s an 80k mile used Jeep that’s 12 years old. It has also been outside its entire life, not a garage queen. That being said the underside is pretty rust free. Just some normal surface rust on the underside of the body for a vehicle of this age in this area (northern VA). No frame rust issues. I can take some underbody pics when I get back to my shop on Monday for anyone who’s interested.

I was gonna say that engine bay kills mine hahaha. That’s a great price as long as the frame looks good. I think the driver seat may have a little stain, but nothing to go crazy over. Nice red rubi for sure!! GLWTS

I would take and post the undercarriage pics when you can, there are quite a few people that join this forum at first just to find a good TJ...especially a Rubi!

X2 to this. Don’t knock someone in regards to their asking price. They can ask whatever they want, and we shouldn’t be here to pick apart their vehicle. If a buyer wants to do that in private or in person, that’s okay, but everyone should be allowed to sell their TJ for whatever asking price they want, without having to worry about people picking it apart.

Just keep it clean, that’s all.

The OP did say “obo”, so keep that in mind.

As someone that has looked around for a Rubi for a while, if this red rubi was a manual, I would be kicking myself. I think the price is pretty good. I will have WAY more than that in mine and it isn't much different. It should sell if you market it. GLWS.

I am on your side on this one bro. But in my experience is that buying a car is not like talking to a lady best friend.
I am always suspicious if the outside is in mint condition and the inside has trace of rust.

This is my personal experience: I always power wash my jeep underside chassis and the engine bay at the same time. >>>> The hose clips, CAI clips and radiator panel and bolts has still with their silvery colors !!!

The point is, @TJ2 , keep your opinions to yourself in the classifieds

Yeah I should. Sorry guys i missed my pills this morning

 

[JMT]

It's all good. I think the best thing is to get some more pics from @Kicknstang underneath. Then we'd be able to tell more. He obviously posted it on here because the folks here are TJ enthusiasts. That implies we know more about TJ's than the average person.

Regarding the pricing, yes. I'm sure the poster would welcome questions about areas of concern.

 

[Kicknstang]

I’ll take some underbody pics and post them tomorrow when I get to my shop guys!

 

[Kicknstang]

Updated first post with underbody pictures! I tried the other day and it was giving me error messages for some reason. Seemed to work this time though.

Looks very nice! If it was a manual and I was still looking I would just buy it. I am spending way more on mine. Yours has more miles, but looks very clean and less to do. Nice Rubi. I would stick to your price and it should sell. Can't imagine why it wouldn't.
