Pricing out a 2004 TJ

[sam3b]

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody had experience pricing out a tj that's got some major body rust. I don't think KBB prices out vehicles in the condition my jeep is in.

2004 2 door Rubicon
75k miles
Original owner
Needs rear body mounts and essentially the rear quarters of the body rebuilt.
It needs passenger side floor pan patched.
The drivers side and fenders have already been patched.
Frame has rust, but I don't see any structural issues
Probably 75% left on trxus mt
OME 2" lift
Engine mount lift
Body lift
Engine and transfer case skid plates (can't remember who made them, but replaces the shovel)
Steering box skid
Jeeperman running board/steps.
Off road sway bar.
No issues with engine, trans, transfer case, or axles
Lockers work
New wheel u joints and bearings.
New starter
Soft top only and rear window has a small hole

It hasn't been offroad much. I work from home, which is why the mileage is low. The jeep actually runs well, but I can't get it inspected with the body rust. It's bad enough that a new tub would be the ideal fix. So I'm thinking about selling, but can't find anything to compare it to for a price.

has anybody priced out a tj in this shape?

thx

I would think the most you will get for it is around 1/2 the price of a rust free model in your area since some one buying it is probably buying it as a project or as a flip. Meaning they want as little into it as possible. With that in mind you have to ask yourself is it more profitable to sell the parts? If they are in good condition you can get around 3k for your axles/pumps and $1,500 for your transfer case alone ($4,500) Now add the soft top($300), full doors ($500?), engine transmission ($800?), and other things like your lift, skids, ect. and you can be far beyond the value of selling it complete.

Just a thought... But either way good luck on your sale.

Disclaimer: I am not up to date on prices in your area but I would bet if you posted which parts you were selling people here could give you a good idea of what they can / would sell for.

Pictures would help but either way, what you describe sounds pretty bad overall. Maybe part it out like Alex said or throw a price on it and be prepared to come down to make a sale.
