no its not... just 1st you need to make sure which transfer case it has... then you need to get the vin and make sure its not a retag or stolen... because its not a 96

 

I'll check it out. I don't think the guy is lying...I think he just doesn't know.

Although being that old, the fact the a/c doesn't work makes me wonder...I hope its not still r12.

If I could pick it up for 1000 would that be a decent buy?

 

as long as it is not rusty... i would think so... is the interior clean does it run good? any other problems? overhead console work? head liner in good shape.. if it is a renxi it is R12 they make a r134 convert kit... very easy to do...

 

He said one window switch is finicky. and a leak in a/c hoses.

Waiting on int pics. It's about 45 min away from me, and I want to for sure decode the VIN before I go out there.

I don't need a/c right now, but in the summer in DFW...yes.

And it has most mods I would do anyway. It won't be a daily driver so I have time to tinker with it.

The prefect scenario is I verify it is an older one, then make him the offer based on that and what it needs...presto.

 

sounds like a good plan its still worth 1g no matter the year... good luck let us know what happens

 

Was this on Craigs list I looked (just on line) at a few earlier this month?
I live in south Ft. Worth if you need a hand.

 

yep it sure is...Its in Mansfield and I live up in Allen.

Still waiting on the VIN

 

Cool

 

good call

 

10th digit of the VIN determines year:

h=87, j=88, k=89, l=90, m=91, n=92, p=93, r=94, s=95, t=96.

 

Well crap...turns out it was an 89...I found some older ads of the jeep.

I guess he typo'd the one I was looking at, but sold the jeep about an hour after I contacted him...

It seems this happens to me A LOT; someone will have a vehicle for sale for months, then I reach out to them and it sells moments later. I should sell my services.

Anyway...there is another one I thought about..
Its a 2dr though...not sure about that. It is a manual, which i'd prefer for longevity. No lift really though, but seems like it would be a better DD.

 

Sorry you missed it.. I too have been burned by ads that have been running for MONTHS, only to call and find out that "it just sold this morning". DOH

I DID snag my '92 4 years ago by using one of those cragslist apps that emailed when a new listing was posted. I totally sniped my XJ for $200. lolwin! I called the seller as soon as the ad came up. Left work and hauled *** to his house. Paid cash and picked it up later on.

 

This sucks...missed the other one too.

 

dang... let me see what i can find...

 

this seems like a good deal... only 89k thats brand new to me cant tell if it 4x4 tho...
