-Alex- Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I know this isn't the manliest colored Jeep in the world, but this unit is CLEAN! Wife's wanting to sell the Jeep and trade in the BMW on a new Wrangler this weekend, so even though we've got a couple of locals pretty interested, I figured I'd throw this on here in case any members are interested. I don't drive it every day, so I'm not as familiar with it as I am with my cars, but I'll do my best here. 1997 Jeep Wrangler SE - 4 cylinder 5 speed manual - Hardtop and half doors with sliding glass windows - 163k miles - Never been taken off-road by us or the previous owner, can't speak for any others The good: - Near mint newer 5 spoke TJ wheels with 4 fairly new Yokohama 31 x 10.5s and a matching spare with a never used factory tire - In the last year it's had a new muffler, front pads and rotors, alternator, plugs and wires, headlights, and some other misc. things - Will have a new windshield tomorrow (5-27-11) - A/C recently charged and working - Frame is in great shape, no noticable rust that I've found. I recently cleaned and painted it and the wheel wells. A couple small (dime sized) surface rust spots on the body in the typical Wrangler areas. The bad: - The exhaust is louder than I'd like, needs the gasket between the manifold and pipe replaced and a cat to quiet it down. Had a new muffler put on a few months ago and the guy told me the cat had been gutted, but I didn't want to spend the money to have it replaced at the time. - Transmission is sometimes hard to get into 1st and reverse when sitting still. Goes in like butter when slowly rolling. No trades, cash only. $4800 firm. That's the bottom dollar, and it's well worth it. Look around and I highly doubt you'll find a TJ this clean, clean title, hardtop, etc for anywhere near it. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h176/mcwilliams1/9be626fa.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h176/mcwilliams1/b23da672.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h176/mcwilliams1/1243dc73.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h176/mcwilliams1/6c40fc86.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h176/mcwilliams1/9b31007e.jpg Doesn't this look like a great time? Planned on taking pics with the top off, but there was rain coming.

-Alex- Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I'll know after tomorrow morning, but the dealership made a pretty good trade-in offer and has the exact Wrangler she wants, so more than likely trading in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Alex- Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Bump. Took the top off and took about a 3 hour round trip yesterday. It's 100% reliable, my wife is a home health nurse and from day one about a year and a half ago when we got it, it's been driven all day every day across 3 counties and has never missed a beat.
