Looking for advice on potential TJ purchase

Also what I noticed after checking 3 T.J. that all of them had wet floor on a passenger side. Driver side clean and dry

Saw that one online the other day. Didn't look too bad. Thought it was high for the salvage title, but if the vehicle is clean, then maybe it is worth a higher price.

Mine is not for sale, but if you wanted to see what one that isn't clean looks like for comparison, I'm in the area. Mine would have probably would have been priced at $5500-$6500 if it had gone to auction and one of the corner lot dealers picked it up. Even with a list of problems a mile long.

Look at as many as you can. Get a feel for condition vs price vs options, etc. That way, when you find the right one, you'll know it. When I thought I wanted an Expedition, it took me a year to decide on what years, check out for sale vehicles and finally purchase one with the condition and price I was looking for. Ended up in Fayetteville to buy it.

Don't settle for anything less than you truly want or need. By the same token, if a good deal is a good deal, whether it's the wrong color or something else, then you'll have to decide at that moment.
 
It’s not bad but you’d have to get on top of that surface rust right away. Hard to know what the inside of the frame looks like. Price seems high.

I’d suggest looking outside of your area and spend some of your budget on travel costs. For instance, this is available in Ohio: https://daveysjeeps.com/inventory/2003-jeep-wrangler-4x4/

I wish I had been more picky when I bought my project Jeep. I spent a lot of time and money repairing rust.
