Rusty body, supposedly solid frame, you’ll rarely see a running CJ this cheap.

I don’t need a cheap Jeep and traveling north to find a rusty (ish) one doesn’t make sense. What you really need is a Tracy-esque Jeep fanatic to rescue it. Unfortunately, the only enthusiasts for sale around me like Nissans.

This 350Z enthusiast has listed himself near me, but since he is only 15 (2005) I think you might be getting ripped off.

There was also the cheapest S2000 I’ve seen listed for sale a few days ago and it has already sold. Not even ultra high miles and no mods so I was actually very tempted at only $7,500.

Too bad the owner is the “I know what I have” kind of seller.

But on a more serious note, that is actually really cheap for any location. This one is close and probably in much better shape, but seems to be partially disassembled.

And this one.

But that money could also buy you some cool non-Jeeps (crowd gasps)

The sub-$5000 CJ market is a joke. They will all need another five to ten grand before paint. Either to tub is shot, the frame is gone, the engine needs a rebuild, the axles are busted or not even the same ratio, the tranny is done for or even more likely, some combination of the above and they’re all going to need tires . If the top comes off and it has at least six cylinders any Jeep is a $10,000 vehicle if you want it to be DD capable. You can buy one for five grand but you’re gonna put another five in it in the first couple of years. Junkyards don’t have CJs YJs or TJs.

TLDR: buying a CJ for two grand is just a way to finance the remaining eight grand it’s going to need.
