Seeing those wire twist caps under the hood would make me run from that jeep.Those should never be used on a car,Should be crimp connectors with heat shrink or solder with heat shrink over it.And makes me think what else did he try to take short cuts on the rest of the jeep.

Didn't you just post asking about bushings for sway bar links? (BTW if you buy completely new links I'll buy the bushingless ones off of you lol)

Anyways, I'd talk him down a bit $2500 for something that's a little beat on with known issues is steep even with the lift/tires. I'd offer $1800 maybe settle at $2k.
