I found a 97 TJ with 300,000 miles on the body the motor has 100,000 and new transmission. It has a soft top everything works on it as it should. What would be a good price to offer?
Where are you at, what condition is it in and what options does it have? Rust? No rust? More details please...
If it's cheap enough and in good enough shape, it might make a good beater or trail rig project. We just can't tell yet.X2.
We need pictures and way more details than what you gave us.
Most importantly, we need to see photos of the frame, and or any rust.
Probably not powder coated. That AX-5 transmission is going to need some love. So, ya, $1,500. $2,000 tops. It has potential, for the right price.how much are they asking? not sure how a frame could be powder coated unless it was new or they removed the body and all? Highly unlikely for one of these. $1500.....maybe????
Offer $1,500, and negotiate up a little. Do you have a place to work on it?He is wanting $2000 I was thinking offing $1750 but didn’t know if that was a good offer.
I LOVE my 2.5. They are great little engines within their limitations. If taken care of (!) they will go 200,000 - 300,000 miles easily.I don’t have any pictures of it yet but will be getting some soon. I have seen it a few times because I know the guy that’s wanting to sell it. Are the SE 2.5 4 cyclinders any good and how many miles will the motor last?
Nope. Not with the engine and transmission replaced. But that has to be your call.Yeah I’ve got a shop and many tools to work on it. So if the frame is rust free and he won’t come down is $2000 to high?
