One final update -
I've reached out to the potential seller/tradee for a VIN number two or three times over the last couple of days - radio silence...
Big surprise, right?
I think at this point, it's safe to assume misrepresentation at best, and outright fraud at worst. I don't have any doubt that the jeep exists, and that he would have happily traded me, but it's definitely not as represented.
Thanks again for all the advice and guidance,
I'd like to reiterate that this has been probably the most pleasant forum experience I've ever had. Everybody has been super polite and helpful...
I didn't even get a single "Search the past threads!!!"
I may have to go find a TJ to buy just so I can join up officially...
Well, in my humble opinion, as a FSJ guy - you’re already a part of the family.
Feel free to pull up a chair to the TJ table.
