A Wrangler with under 100k for under $5k that’s so funny

Hahahahahaha no. Or maybe he just means the first repair bill must be under 5k.

Best place to find a Wrangler like that would be at the bottom of a lake or river.  Then lowball the seller and see what happens.

Or willing to lease??? Like, some private owner is going to see that and somehow lease him their Jeep?

No problem, I found them one .

I found a Jeep he might be able to talk the seller down to $5,000 for. The bad part is I now kinda want it.

It doesn't count if the odometer has circled back around to under 100k

I was starting to think mine might only be worth that much. Now I have a vague hope that my repair bills will be 1-2k instead of 5k+.

Current bid $3300 and reserve not met yet.  That one might be too nice to go for $5k.

Decodes to a YJ 2.5/auto. 100k maybe not. YJs are still cheap.

*looks on CL* Gave up, number of YJs in $3-6k territory, but almost all sticks. Lots of 4.0Ls too.... Now I want this - looks like good bones under all the tacky crap. Dammit.

Even some TJs in the $5-6k range...

Well, I’m sure someone with six months left on their lease will be willing to let them take over the remainder for $5,000.

To be fair, he didn’t specify whether it had to be street legal, or if the frame had to be solid steel and not rusted to tissue paper. You probably could find a useful for parts only, rusted to hell Wrangler with ca. 100k miles for that price, particularly one used as a plow vehicle in a road salt state.

A 4.0 5-sp eed YJ is a fine vehicle and you have my blessing should you choose to pursue it.

Ooh, a bright color and low miles too.  

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > If only EssExTee could be so grossly incandescent 07/23/2020 at 23:17

Or the odometer hasn't worked since the Korean war.

I mean, how much rust are they willing to deal with? Does it have to be the WHOLE Wrangler? Or can some of it be dissolved?

Jeeps under $5k around here tend to look like this

Had no idea that wranglers built before the 2000's had any value, I mean they probably shouldn’t

I love YJ’s...they’re the best CJ ™.  

It just need new leafs and 33"s (GY MTRs, Patagonia MTs, or Boggers) and f/r lockrites. After that an SOA+new leafs and 35 "s with   f/r lockrites. Then a set of D44s when the 35/3 0 goes boom. Then a linked/coil rear. Then an LM7/4L65 E. Then an 80E, D60s w/5.38s w/rear spool and front detroit , 38"s, cut fenders, a cage, and hydroassist. Then I shred the tub doing something dumb and it’s always covered in mud or dirt and the only top is a bikini top since I sold the hardtop. Now I can’t just take it for a nice drive.

And t hat’s why I can’t buy anymore YJs...but man I love them.
