I was keeping an eye on the auto pages, saying maybe I'll just think about it. Then I decided to message someone just to maybe talk. Then I went see one, thinking I'll just see one. All of a sudden, I'm driving back with a 2004 Jeep TJ Sahara. Never had a jeep before, or a car actually! Got a good deal though with 173,000 KM (107,000 miles)
Good:
Frame is in good shape
Not too too much rust underneath
Came with the original tires and the big ones on there
Engine running fine as far as I can tell
Interior isn't too banged up for the most part
Bluetooth alpine system means I'm not stuck without modern driving aids
Bad:
Missing a fender flare and fender is banged up
Sometimes takes a couple tries to start
Headlights seem a little shoddy
Brakes aren't great but also that could be a jeep thing?
Some rust on the body
But anyways, happy to be part of the Jeep community. I have been excitingly waving at every Jeep I see.
What can I expect, what should I do, what are your tips!
