Too bad they trashed it before you got it back.

Why not just install the A/C parts and have the hood painted?I turned down a 02' with 135,000 miles on it for $4500. That was last year. It had some bad paint on the hood and no AC. Good deals are few and far between around here.
He sold it back to me because he only drove it 1200 miles in 2 years and it just sat in his garage. I told him to let me know first if he ever wanted to sell it.Too bad they trashed it before you got it back.
Too much work/money for me. I just wanted to flip it quick. I'm poor.Why not just install the A/C parts and have the hood painted?
Of course you are poor, you have a jeep.Too much work/money for me. I just wanted to flip it quick. I'm poor.
Dude shared a picture with a 2006 time stamp arguing with me about the same thing like 6 months back. That was 15 years ago Grampa!Also, the used market is much different now than it was in the past.
Im curious if the inside of the frame was pristine too. That type of condition is so hard to find here in NJ. Unless it lived in a southern state or was garaged.Way too much. I got a 2006 with less than 100k miles and pristine inside for less.
Top of the line 2.5" RC lift with leveling spacers up front.How much lift and what kind of lift does it have?
If that's true I would say it's way under valued!!!!!!Top of the line 2.5" RC lift with leveling spacers up front.
The XJ that I sold to get my Rubi back is what made me "poorer". I needed money and more room, so I sold the Rubicon and bought a clean 99' XJ for $3,000. Did tons of neglected maintenance, lift, wheels, tires, etc. Sold it for $7,500 within a week of listing it. I wish I could have kept them both.Of course you are poor, you have a jeep.
This one was originally sold in North Carolina.Im curious if the inside of the frame was pristine too. That type of condition is so hard to find here in NJ. Unless it lived in a southern state or was garaged.
Ive looked at many, many, many Jeeps on lots, time and time again (when a friend was trying to find one 2 years ago) and I only found 2 with somewhat clean frames. Who knows if they were even from the NE.
That's the best way to find clean when living in the NE.This one was originally sold in North Carolina.
Man! Where do you find these?Way too much. I paid $9500 for my rust free 03' Rubicon with 126,000 miles and $7,000 for my 2000' Sahara on 33s with 132,000 miles.

The 04' Rubicon is the better deal of those three. Talk them down $1,000.My top prospects currently are w/ little to no rust manuals:
Red 04 Rubicon w/ 117k asking 15,500
Black sport w/ 100k asking 14,000 (only one I’ve got to see so far, owned for 12 yrs garage kept 0 rust)
Black 05 Rubicon w/ 180k asking $12,000
Really huh? I drove the black sport, guy has owned for 12 years and garage kept and is set up tastefully imo. But it would be nice to have a Runicon! Love red too! Going to test drive it tomorrow, maybe 13k cash will make a deal?The 04' Rubicon is the better deal of those three. Talk them down $1,000.
I had a guy pull the same crap on me after I sold him a pristine 2001 XJ limited I had put a bunch of money into. A week after he bought it, his son put it into a tree. He “fixed” it then asked me if I’d want to buy it back for what I sold it to him for, I also declined…The XJ that I sold to get my Rubi back is what made me "poorer". I needed money and more room, so I sold the Rubicon and bought a clean 99' XJ for $3,000. Did tons of neglected maintenance, lift, wheels, tires, etc. Sold it for $7,500 within a week of listing it. I wish I could have kept them both.
p.s. The guy I sold it to asked me if I wanted it back.................for $9,000. I "disrespectfully" declined his offer.
Either Rubi would be my choice.Wow. Lots of posts, thanks! Yeah, I’ve decided to pass on ol chili pepper… maybe things are crazy around here. I live in Asheville, NC and I’m searching a 100 mile radius. Anything from 100-150k in decent shape are listed around 12,500-15,500!!!!
Thank you for the wonderful tips!
