My 1999 two door story..
 

Hi again from a very long time, jeep Cherokee again but 2 Door this time..

This well be my 4th cherokee and my 6th jeeps (98-5.9 ,wrangler2006)
here is the story ..

I decide with a friend to be in the USA for a short trip we choose NYC,NJ for a week then to Las vegas and Los angeles for other week ..

week before flight got a call from one of our XJ off road friends asking me if i want to sell my 2000 cherokee (I don't want to sell but hey way not i still got a wrangler) tell him 5000$ he accepts immediately without thinking now it got around 190k miles in a great shape here is the link if you want to see it .. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f59/can-i-fix-187329/

While in flight to NYC got a WhatsApp msg from other friend asking me if i want to sell my 2006 wrangler (No way winter is on the way he say think about it i say ok but seriously no way..

2nd day in the trip before sleeping saw an Ebay auction for 99 2Door cherokee with no reserve 55k miles :w00t: here is some pics from the auction ..

This 2Door was in Scio NY around 5 hour driving from manhattan without thinking bid and won the auction for 7k ..

Call the seller the next day tell him i well pay cash contact my shipping company to arrange the shipping to Duabi every thing go smooth without problems except my girlfriend was upset she is coming for a nice trip not for jeeps :2guns:
Tell her go shopping i well not be late call my friend he is from NJ asking him if he is free and can we go to Scio (if not i well rent a car) but he was free and happy to make the long trip ..

Here is where every things changed from a leisure trip to a business trip without planing ..

Arrived to the middle of nowhere he was a friendly owner with his wife a small dealer total of 6 cars .. make the payment payed 7k jeep was clean drives like new no rust was most of its life in Florida .. take a pic for the owner and his wife with the jeep as a reminder take a photo of the cars in his dealer send it to our friends .. immediately after posting the pic got a call asking me about that 1992 ford silver bronco in his dealer, long story short bought total of 3 vehicles from him (and 8 other cars from private sellers and deferent dealers) gave me 300 discount on the jeep and i add 220 as profit on every car , shipping also gave me a better price for shipping more cars and 3 motorcycles ..

Man, when I impulse shop, I buy snacks or maybe an extra detailing supply or two. I guess that's a difference between U.S.A. and U.A.E.
