Well, then “real jeep people” consist of 1% of the market, because back 15 years ago, NO ONE would buy either a half door jeep, nor a No A/C jeep.

2WD and no AC pretty much make this a non starter.

They couldn’t get it nearly that cheap, and even if they could no one would buy it.

4WD might allow for double the price and a NP... but I can still see the fun factor in this in certain climates.

diesel trucks...

we shall certainly see.

Most people, are

Double clean trade is a TRAVESTY that you expected on the open market. Shame on you. IF Clean Trade was $3775, then dealers would likely have been selling the car for $5-6k. For you to assume you would sell it on the private market 15-20% higher is silly. IF you have actually private party sold vehicles for

No car is NADA clean, certainly not a 6 year old car...

There is an extra zero in there right? Has to be an extra zero...

I can’t help but think that was in the captain obvious commercial at one time...

I doubt that has a clean Carfax.
