If it was me, I probably wouldn't post any pictures of it dirty/wheeling. Just nice casual shots. Nice casual shots will give the impression that it is well kept and the potential buyer wouldn't be asking himself/herself what is really wrong with the Jeep if the owner wants to sell it.

And if you really want to sell it, take off all the decals.

More times than not, it's not going to be a "wheeler" buying your Jeep. It'll probably end up being someone who needs a more reliable vehicle in the snow, a parent buying their kid their first vehicle, etc.

Nice looking Jeep though and GLWS.

People don't want a "kids" vehicle or one that they think has been "abused." It's all a dog and pony show when selling your vehicle, so make it look the part if you want the most out of it.

Wow! in my case I paid $2600 + (roughly) $8,000 in parts I bought outta pocket = I should be able to ask $10,000 for my J-Heep...LOL!!! I'm thinking the Curb Appeal just isn't there...LOL!!!

Edit just read mcobray's post he said slot of this already

Just some tips on the ad I sell slot of things on craigslist weekly;
post the pictures in the ad linking through photbucket or imageshack or another host. Copy this and use your link instead of what's there

<img src="http://www.CharlotteWebDevelopment.com/Charlotte_Website_Design_Logo.jpg">

if I were listing this jeep I'd take off all the stickers, and only post pictures of it clean and not wheeling it or in snow. I'd also post an interior picture. Lastly I can tell you in my experience (just bought my current xj 3 weeks ago) I would close your ad as soon as I saw make an offer and no price.

Just my opinions but think they would help sell it.

I live in jersey and I'd say 6-7000 is what you should be able to get from just generally browsing cl and used car dealers

just a tip, when trying to sell a jeep you shouldnt put pictures of you wheeling it in the for sale ad. buyers want to buy something thinking that it was well taken care of and babied.
