Need advice on vehicle purchase

I am thinking about buying this vehicle for less than advertised. what do you think? What about the idea of buying a salvage vehicle? I will ask about the extent of damage and post up.



"2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

I got a great deal on this Jeep after it had been in an accident. My intentions was to either put some 1-ton truck axles under it and take it on extreme off-road trips, or to leave it stock and drive it to work. After fixing the minor damage, I knew this Jeep should stay stock. It is in such great shape. At the same time as I was fixing it, our well started acting-up. We are looking at an incredible expense if we have to drill a new well, so this Jeep has to go.

Maryland State Inspection will be completed by the Auto Shop of your choice within 30 miles of Mount Airy, MD (further, if we can work it out).

This is a wonderful Jeep and ready for highway driving or for off-road adventures. The Unlimited has so much room compared to my regular wrangler.

I am pricing this to sell quickly: $13900 OBO If you need a newer Jeep, make an offer."

Hey Bill I say check it out and if you like it do it. You know enough to make a good call. But I wouldn't buy it unless you have Elva sold on lifting it. At least a BB and some 33's Good luck. Emily wishes she had the money cause when you saw me looking at it she went "I want it"

oh yeah. she wont wheel it but I will certainly steal it for a weekend and do a small lift with 33" tires and "Tomb Raider" it out a bit.

Its okay to have a pretty jeep as long as you have another that you wheel the piss out of

You will like the ride since it has coils rather than springs. I say do it, looks good. right price.

If anyone with a Jeep needs the extra cargo room that an unlimited offers it is you!

There will be room for Wendy, the Blue cooler and the beach chairs

that is one nice looking jeep

Turns out the damage was bent front axle, bent control arms in the front but no frame or body damage. He replaced the axle and control arms and is reselling it. I will be driving down tomorrow to check it out and if all is good I'll be buying it.

Tico when was the last time you took a good look at Bills Jeep. He hasn't had leaf springs in years. He talks about it alot too. Bill doesn't like leaf springs.

Hey Bill know you can get a Bigger blue cooler (more beer ) and the boys will have more room to enjoy the ride.

You should get a chrome grill cover for it

Thats Jacks jeep from the creepers right..

Very nice guy. He came down and looked at the buggy and we talked about trading for his rubicon he has for sale. We just couldnt get into the same ball park. The rubicon was wheeled hard... He has 3 different jeeps.
