Keep your head up. You aren't looking for something that isn't readily available. Be patient and be ready to pounce when the right one comes up

Thanks! Yeah, prices up here in the PNW are pretty high. Was stoked about the low miles, but have since learned it's been in NY, HI, Guam, UT before coming to Idaho. 6 prior owners. Sigh. Not sure now.

Sounds like millitary personnel owned it
I think it looks good and the price is fair for the condition and mileage. Some people havent been in the market since COVIDiocy hit and played hell on it

If you shop Nationwide theres some ALOT more $$$ and few for less but with issues like frame damage (Ohio has a yellow one)

Just to give you an idea, these are all the TJs listed for sale on Craigslist and Marketplace "close" to me. As in, a distance I could drive to, inspect the vehicle, and drive home in a day.

And sure, they're all over the place on mods, prices, mileage, and condition, but if you keep looking, there's definitely good deals out there.

If you don't mind expanding your search, Colorado seems to have a ton of TJs at reasonable prices. And generally they aren't rusted to death.

Looks like some very good options out there.
Just be sure to run title searches and CarFax searches to verify if salvaged or loans against the Titles

Not all States report these things, so you gotta do your due diligence
