First off, I buy quality older Jeeps and fix them up to resell. This is my 4th TJ (have done 2 JKs as well) that I've purchased, added mods, and resold. This is what I do for a hobby as I don't make much of a profit, I actually lose a lot of money most of the time. Anyone that knows Jeeps knows you never get what you put into them. They are definitely money pits, but nothing beats the Jeep experience. While its an expensive hobby, its fun and I love Jeeps. When this one sells, I'll go buy another, start from scratch, and lose my shirt again.



LATEST JEEP:
This one has a AutoCheck 96/100 which is just unheard of for a vehicle this age, nevermind a Wrangler. It's clean as a whistle, had 1-Owner (plus myself obviously), 115k highway miles, a true GEM! And we all know Wranglers are work horses that kick butt for decades, well over 200,000 miles (the reason for their ridiculously high resale values). This is a Sahara model, which was the top-of-the-line Jeep for that year (Rubicon model didn't exist yet). Adult owned, driven, and was never used as a off-road/trail Jeep - I purchased it stock for 11k cash ($13500 sticker) from Orlando Kia off East Colonial Drive about 6 months ago with the sole intention of putting it on steroids to sell to another lucky Jeeper. After a few months of elbow grease and adding lots of new expensive toys, this sucker is a BEAST!  I honestly feel like I can drive through a brick building when I'm behind the wheel, it's pretty awesome.

*This Jeep is $10,525 KBB Private-Party Book Value when stripped down and STOCK.

Most of the work was done at Jeeper's Den in Orlando, and other services completed at Just Brakes, Tire Kingdom, and by my trustworthy mechanic at Orlando Mobile Mechanic. I have receipts and documentation for EVERYTHING. This is what I paid for this Jeep and put into it in just the last 6 months, most of it at a discount because I'm a frequent customer. All these goodies are brand new!  Almost everything is still covered under the manufacturer's warranty. If you want to add even more, just stop into Jeeper's Den in Orlando and tell them you bought one of Shaun's Jeeps - they'll give you the best prices in town.

As you can see, sometimes I go overboard on my Jeeps and put more into it than I can sell it for. This is one of those cases. That's OK because I had a blast building it and know some Jeeper is going to have a blast driving it. So if you were considering buying a quality older Jeep to jack up and add some toys, let me save you a few thousand bucks and sell you this monster. It's not every day do you find a 96/100 TJ with brand new tires, wheels, lift, and toys for less than cost. Make an offer, even the list price is a bargain. Cash, certified check only, sorry no financing or trades.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why are you selling it?
Scroll up and read from the beginning.  :)

Any accidents?
You can scroll up and see the AutoCheck score and full vehicle history report for free courtesy of Ebay and Experian.

Will you take a trade as partial payment?
No.

The price is really high, I can get a new one for that price!
^This one is my favorite. Some people are up in the clouds.

Why do you keep buying/selling if you're losing money?
It's the thrill of a good find, spending hours in my garage working on it, and the fun of listing it on ebay.  An expensive hobby, but cheaper than some others!

I don't quite have that much saved up, will you take half and do payments?
I can't, not a dealer - unable to put a lien on the title.

What's the highest offer you've received?  What's the lowest amount you'd accept?
The listing is brand new.  Obviously I'm shooting for the list price because even that is a $3000 loss for me, but I'm open to offers.

Chrysler set to make $266M-investment into 8-speed transmission production

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Chrysler will shortly make a significant $266-million investment into its Kokomo, IN transmission factory in a bid to expand production of its eight-speed automatic transmissions. The gearboxes, which are built under license from Germany's ZF Friedrichshafen, have been well received by customers and critics, and according to an SEC filing obtained by Automotive News, the transmissions will eventually find their way to all of Chrysler's rear-drive offerings (Viper and heavy-duty Ram models, aside). According to AN, a Chrysler spokesman says the investment has not been confirmed, but once it is, it'll mark the company's latest in a growing line of investments at the facility. Chrysler has poured $1.5 billion into Kokomo since 2009.

2014 Jeep Patriot and Compass ditch CVT for six-speed auto

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

It was reported in Automotive News a few months ago, but a new report on Allpar.com adds some details to news that the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot will get a six-speed automatic to replace the CVTs they currently use. According to a tip provided to Allpar, the 2014 models will begin production in March and be on sale sometime in the summer. The Jatco-sourced CVT in use until now - Jatco is owned by Nissan and Mitsubishi - has been often criticized, and many won't be sad to see it go.
The incoming six-speed automatic is said to be an all-wheel-drive cog-swapper that's the work of Hyundai and Magna and has been paired with the DynaMax AWD system used in the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage. It won't be the only Chrysler product using a transmission with ties to Hyundai: the six-speed automatic in the Dodge Dart comes from Powertech, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai. With the Patriot and Compass said to be driving down the trail for the last time this year, it will be a short run for the new tranny and the rumored addition of a backup camera and power rear liftgate on the Compass.

Fiat Centro Stile sells design sketches to support kids in Italy

Sun, Jun 21 2020

Fiat's Centro Stile design studio in Europe has kicked off a project called stART Again to support the global charity Save the Children. The studio put 136 high-resolution sketches of Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, and Lancia vehicles for download online at just ˆ20 a pop — about $22. The proceeds from all sales will be donated to a charity founded in England 101 years ago "to improve the lives of children through better education, health care, and economic opportunities, as well as providing emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts." Save the Children will use the funds to provide supplies, teaching materials, and support for studies for more than 100,000 children in the most disadvantaged areas of Italy who have been additionally harmed by the coronavirus and its effects. There are a heap of knockout drawings available. The selection at the Alfa Romeo store ranges from a 1958 Alfetta 158 racer to the coming Giulia GTA, classics in between including the immortal GTV 6 and the left-field 75 1.8 Turbo TCC racer. The Fiat marketplace contains wares from Abarth, Fiat, and Fiat Professional, with a massive emphasis on the new 500, but the hardcore 1972 Abarth 124 Spyder and oddball 900E van get slots in there (the 900E looks like a Volkswagen Vanagon, but the 900E came first). The Jeep shop is all business and big tires, save for the 1942 Willys MB, but someone needs to take the 1956 Jeep Forward Control sketch off the page and into reality. And the Lancia store has more to offer than the Stratos and Delta Integrale, an ominous Aurelia B20 GT and a Fulvia GT part of the five-model lineup. For some reason, Maserati got left out of the graphic bonanza, as did Ram, Dodge, and Chrysler, which is a shame. That still leaves 136 good reasons to click through and help the kiddies.
