I saw the car in person at the LS show. I will just say it photographs very well, but I dont think its a $9k car. 

its beautiful besides the wheels, ricky bobby windshield stickers, and random pinstripe accoutrements.

Sadly I tried to give him and extra set of seats (FOR FREE) that I acquired. They were Pearl Beige but could have been dyed. He never came and got them.

Its crazy how much these cars depreciated considering they sold for over $100K. Almost 95% of its value gone and you can still barely give them away.

Granted, sold right in the middle of a recession and they are electrical nightmares, so it's fitting.

Also, uglier than sin.

Couldn't wait until literally any other time to take a picture besides when someone is putting something in the trunk?

Something is terribly wrong with this, or it's a good deal.

I agree, the price difference is insane. But all land yachts end up cheap as hell. That one is insanley clean considering how beat most of them are now. I wonder what shop its at...

I don't agree with you on the ugliness though..

I assume that M5 is VERY REAL, and that guy just wants to make a quick sale. 

Here is another in Madison for the same price.....

Yeah I would love too. I think that's the same one that was $12k a few months ago. Thats too much for a 316 as it will need a JZ installed

That Vert is super nice, but its an auto diving board car.

Great Jeep ready for off road or parking at the mall.

I do miss my TJ, would love to own another one. Great vehicle.

They hold their value like crazy though.

[straight6pwr]

i wouldnt mind a jeep in the driveway, but the used pricees are insane! you pay alot for the 'brand'.

what jeep owners say: thats why you buy one, itll hold value!

what that really means: you pay more for one to start with, so the resale value being higher is a moot point. the car costs you the same, the initial investment is just higher.

My Dad bought his as a callback to his time in the service like 15 years ago before the "Jeep tax" really took over.

It was Jade green, which is a kind of like it or hate it color:

(not mine, but looked pretty similar minus the lift)

My brother drove it with the oil light on after I had passed it down to him and the motor seized.

It was weird. There were 3 of them in Appleton for a period of time. One guy was right down the road from us, too.
