As promised, here are a couple more pics from the seller... any additional comments... Looks pretty clean... Pic #2... Driver Side View Mirror = Black, Passenger Side = Chrome ... WTF?

I don't see a "White" truck in that pic... :roll:

I'm trying to get the all specs and options from the seller so I can take the KBB printout with me... IF it looks like something I want to go for, I hope to start around $1200-$1500 (depending) and see where that takes me. Just speculating, I think I would be willing to go up to around $1750-$1800 (but maybe $2000), but really hard to say till I get there and look... Will probably be Saturday before I can go look at it, and maybe the $2500 starting price tag will keep some other prospective buyers away till then. Yeah, I'm another "Wade"...and I happen to be "Super" and I killed #1, so that made me #2...Not Common...have only met a couple other "Wade's" floating around. SW2

Man I love this discussion... especially based on one crummy Craigslist LowRes Photo... this site is going to be AWESOME... Like I said, I hope to get more pics tomorrow (will post if they are worth a poo)... but if the Truck was originally a Cali truck, rust is generally not an issue... no ice=no salt/sand=very little rust. BUT, I like the idea of being able to swap in a new engine/tranny and still have a great body... I'm not super fond of the White, but that to could be changed... And I want an MJ to use as my DD when my TJ is in the process of getting upgraded... until that is "done" I probably won't do a ton of stuff to the MJ. Once I get bored with the TJ (or it doesn't need more Big $$$ upgrades, then I can start tweaking the MJ) SW2

Ok a couple more MJ Newbwie ?'s before I go look... This is the Short-Bed, correct? Is there a way to tell if it has the BA-10/5 or AX-15 tranny without looking at a build sheet or whatever. Since it's a '89 it sounds like they swapped somewhere in the middle? Correct? Axles are most likely D30/35 with 3.07's, unless it had the Tow-Prep Package and then not even 100%, correct? (I just got done getting Rid of 3.07's and rear D35 on my TJ... uck!) Is there a list somewhere of the differences between the trim levels (Base (SporTruck), Pioneer, Chief, Laredo, Eliminator, etc). Thanks for all the help... this is a great site and I look forward to soon being among the MJ Owner ranks! SW2

The seller said they would send some pics tomorrow in the light... I hope to go down and look at it on Saturday... $1500 sounds about right (maybe up to $1750 if its REALLY nice inside and out)... a little worried about the 204K miles and what the clutch might look like... I'll post some pics if the wife send em. At least it sounds like they were a "Jeep" family, so maybe I go down in my TJ they give me the "Jeep Family" discount. SW2

Yes 4WD, 4.0L, the wife offered to take some more pics and email, so I should have them soon hopefully! SW2

Just talked to the wife of the seller... 204K miles (OUCH), Orig 4.0L (orig Tranny, not sure which), AC, Newer tires, no Major Dings/Rush, etc. KBB Top ends out no more than $1800, even in EXCELLENT condition with those miles and the basic options selected. Excellent $1,760 Good $1,530 Fair $1,135 Worth a drive down the way (about an hour south of me), but I don't think I would be willing to go much more than $1500 and that might insult the guy asking $2500. SW2

I guess I just proved that my reading Comprehension skills blow... "Pioneer" DUH... any comments about the price? Sw2

Hi guys... New guy here looking for a Comanche. I also drive a 99 TJ, but looking for a new "Toy" and possible DD. Can anyone tell me if that is one of the Non-Base Packages (Eliminator/Pioneer, etc) based on the markings on the Bed? http://monterey.craigslist.org/car/507032005.html $2500 seems pretty steep, depending on mileage and such. Not sure on 2.5 or 4.0L either... I planned on calling the guy tonight to try to take a look at it, but wanted to get some input first. Thanks ALL Sw2
