Remarkable story about an Australian journalist who quite unintentionally stepped off a roof in NYC this summer.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

In less happy news, the gorgeous blue XJ Snuze was going to help me buy was sold a few hours before he could take a look at it. Three strike-outs this week, oi.

No need to apologize for rubbing my nose in it. 

Someone overpaid for it, guess I should be happy it’s not me.

I’m sure you have seen the one listed for $20k:

It was sold on BAT last year for $1 0, 500:

Wow, no, that one hadn’t crossed my radar. Just a wee bit impractical.

Here’s my latest dump of interesting manuals, of which at least  the two most interesting are already sold within just a couple of days.

This place in Florida has 50 XJ Cherokee, some manual:

Probably none worth shipping, but I haven’t really looked them over.

Someone (perhaps you) pointed that out several weeks ago and I’ve been forgetting to look at it. Thanks for the reminder.

I think I’m going to make a post looking for someone in the Boston area; this one is probably worth the price if there’s not something ugly lurking.

(although given my track record this week, it’s probably sold already)

I should just send the money to this Boston seller and hope the Jeep is in as good of shape as it appears. Every time I try to be cautious it bites me.

That one’s a looker! And the super organized and thorough  CL listing is reassuring as well!

Just an FYI about the seller, he’s in the business.....

Interesting. I assume you see that as a good sign?

Kinja'd!!!2

Yeah, I definitely like it when they’re painfully detailed, but that does make the absence of problems a bit more glaring. It’s an old Jeep, there has to be something wrong with it.

Yeah, definitely don’t walk off a building sober!

I would like to believe that it is fine, but knowing that the seller is in the business tells me they have far  less in this Jeep than they are asking.  It would be interesting to get a VIN and see if you can find a previous listing or auction result for it.

I would expect so, but occasionally there are exceptions to the rule. Mine should be too by now, but isn’t.

I can’t recall, do you prefer manual or  automatic?

Manual, but if that one were closer and a little cheaper  I’d reach out anyway.
