Please read ad in full before contacting me.


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 resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.

FCA profits surge in second quarter

Fri, Jul 31 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles gave the cash register a beating in the second quarter, improving its net profit to 333 million euros ($364M US), which is a 263-percent jump over its reported Q1 profit of 92 million euros ($108M US). At the same time, FCA improved its global profit margin to 7.7 percent. Compared year-over-year, in Q2 2014 FCA reported net profit of 197 million euros making this year's Q2 a 69-percent increase, and profit margins a year ago were 4.9 percent. The two big factors for this increase are strong NAFTA sales and Jeep. In the US alone, Jeep sold 222,940 units in Q2 this year, a jump of almost 20 percent over the same period last year. Revenue in the NAFTA region totaled $18.8 billion, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes were $1.45 billion, both of those numbers more than doubling compared to 2014. The vastly better numbers come on marginally more global sales, 1,181,000 units sold in Q2 2014, 1,193,000 units sold in the same span this year. In the US, FCA began charging dealers one-percent more for vehicles to up the margins, a move that helped boost its US margin from 4.1 percent a year ago to 5.8 percent the first half of this year. The company is holding steady on its guidance of global deliveries at 4.8 million and its net profit guidance at $1.1 to $1.3 billion. It has increased its adjusted outlook for the year to $120.5 billion in revenue, and EBIT to "over $4.93 billion."

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
