Not sure whether to be interested or terrified. Ad has typical “selling for a friend” red flag, but price seems almost decent despite so many things that are probably wrong starting with the “small issue with it idling”

thats a fun looking buggy, but i dont think that there is $4400 there..... and all that tubing, has been just scabbed on there........

looks like someone had a real cool project in the works, did good on 75% and just rushed the last little bit.

Yeah just looked at the photos again and saw that none of that tubing appears to be welded to any part of the frame, just that beat up body shell. Good grief.

Yeah it’s hard to tell behind what looks like it’s trying to be an anti-roll bar, but they seem a little skinny to me. The tires look nice, but good luck getting them off of the rusty beadlocks. Maybe I should make an offer for just the megaphone that is mounted to the firewall.

$5 seems fair........

poor samurai..... it seems to be going through that now popular phase, where the kids just beat the life out of their 4x4s

Yeah. I was looking at them because Wrangler prices are crazy. But nope.

On my way to work, at a construction company, there is a very clean, very stock, black Sami. It just looks so cool. It’s there every day the weather is nice, with the top off. There's usually an SN95 in its place on rainy days.

how long do you think that timing belt will survive off road with no cover?

Thanks. I'm more looking for a beater that already mostly runs. My daughter won't shut up about getting a soft top Jeep and I think it would be a good way to teach her to wrench and then hand it over to her when she turns 16.

I'm glad there are still some out there. The Consumer Reports thing really hurt sales.

Hah. There are so many other things that could go wrong before that but yeah the motor doesn't really seem off road ready.

yeah, i hear you there...... those jeeps have gotten expensive...... i usually look in the parts section, and am surprised at whats there in jeep bits........ when my friends are talking buying a jeep, i always make a nuisance of myself, and push the flatfender at them....... those got tons of character, and simple as can be.

teaching your kid how to work on cars, and fix/mend stuff, life skills...... thats time well spent.
