LJ prices in your area...

Just curious what the wrangler 2dr unlimiteds are going for in your neck of the woods. Just put 10 hours of work into an 04 with 138k on the od. we took it in on trade for just over $8k. Needed alot of tlc and some body work. I've seen a couple for $10k range but they need work. Usual is $15-$20k for low millage, good shape, no rust.

About the same everywhere else?
I'd like one, just not for that much.

 

For a 100K mile rig, around 16 here, more for Rubis.
Local Chevy dealer has an 06 auto non-rubi in khaki, on 35s, for $19.5. Looks great, pocket flares painted to match.
A buddy drove it... was regeared, but can't keep it between the lines over 45 mph, serious driveline clunks, a number of other issues.
Dealer said they can't come down much because "they already have too much invested in service".

If they have so much in service and the rig still has these issues, they clearly don't know what they're doing.

 

Shouldn't take much to get it fixed. If that was us they'd put another 100 into it and mark it up another 100

sounds like prices are about the same. If we get one in on trade next year I might have to pull the trigger on it.

 

I've had mine for 6 years now, and 40K miles... I still love it!

 

Think id put a few more miles on if I got one lynn

 

4 miles to work...
The Volvo is the highway cruiser; it get twice the gas mileage of the LJ... so the LJ doesn't make many trips unless I need to haul something or pull the trailer.

A buddy of mine is trying to sell his '79 CJ so he can get an LJ. He's finding many LJs within 100 miles of here, but he can't get anyone to give him his price for the CJ ($5K)
His CJ is well worth $5K, it's the appearance that's hurting him (yellow YJ tub, brown CJ front clip, black doors...). I told him to spend a couple bucks on a driveway paint job..

 

yea, a little paint goes a long way.

I hate to get my 69 on the road finally just to sell it, but its been really tempting the last couple months.

 

My buddy sold his CJ. He finally took 4400 for it.

He's looking at a couple 05 LJ Rubicons.

14800, for an 05 LJ Rubi, stock/auto, 92K miles, dented front fender/missing one fog light/bad rear soft window. Good tires. 5 hours away.

15800 for an 05 LJ Rubi, stock/auto, 82K miles, no cosmetic issues, good tires, 2 hours away.

16900 for an 05 LJ Rubi, stock/auto, 67K miles, no cosmetic issues, good tires, 3.5 hours away.

These are the bargain units... there are many priced considerably higher.

 

My buddy John is in Peekskill, NY as I type, preparing to bring home thos 05 LJ Rubi :

No reason to hold back based on 92K miles.
My buddy is very pleased with the 05 Rubi LJ he bought this summer with 92K.
