Yeah, nah.
I had a few more questions for the seller. And left my number. At 10AM this morning. I got a call a few minutes ago and the guy downplayed the Jeep. Asked if I was a mail carrier. Mentioned he wouldn’t fly out and drive it 1/2 across the country.
So, yeah. On paper and photos it seems alright, but the heater core being clogged and the radiator just replaced was a flag. He even mentioned it’s driven hard and beat on. He did most of the talking and at the end I thanked him for his honesty, appreciated his time, and good luck with the sale.
Plane tickets jumped from $88 to $220 and I was thinking of flying out with my wife so we could adventure together home. I think I’ll just keep that RHD dream tucked away in my back pocket and keep it for maybe a kei car.

Thanks for people’s input, but in the end, I don’t think I’d want to buy a car a seller wouldn’t want to honestly sell me. It may have been fine, but I’ll never know.

good call. It takes a few times of buying and selling privately to get a feel for what a seller is actually saying between the lines but once you develop that instinct its best to trust it implicitly .

You should import a Mitsubishi J53/54! Its a license built CJ clone with a Mitsu turbo- diesel and its RHD!

Sounds like the right call, if the guy didn’t think you should buy it then you definitely shouldn’t buy it.
Good luck with the hunt in the future though.

Yeah coulda woulda shoulda.
No one bid on it. If it wasn’t 1100 miles away I’d have jumped on it.
