Tried to post as a reply in the thread but my Renix OS in my computer had a hiccup and logged me out. Bonkers, First of all, thank you for what you do, I know its a lot of work, I used to search the craigslist sites, been trying to get into an MJ For a couple of years now (currently an XJ owner) but the ones I like are either too far away or out of my price range (I'm in upstate central NY). With that said, and sarcastic/humor/tongue in cheek, here are some observations made to me by other jeepsters (sounds like a disclaimer). What a prolific bunch we are!!! Most ads have "baby on the way" or something like it, I can envision a poster/flyer in fertility clinics saying: "If everything else fails, buy an MJ/XJ" How unrealistic some people are!!! With CL allowing 24 pictures, some post 2 or 3, and they are either a close up of a fender or a flat tire or at night, dark, with the bright lights on, and they ask for a lot of money. Some have their project in pieces (but its all there ;-) and ask for show quality prices or 5 figures (go figure). Wife/girlfriend/significant other forces sale!!! Well, I am not going to elaborate on this one because of purely selfish reasons (uncomfortable couch, stinky doghouse). But I will quote a story I once read about 2 tribes in the amazon jungle that had been at way for 10 years, then the females from both tribes got together and made a pact, no sex for the males until a peace treaty had been made ... it only took a few weeks ... they were at peace ever after. I am only selling because I need the money for ... (some good cause) but at the end of the ad: will trade for muscle cars, motorcycles, things that go boom, anything with a motor or shiny, try me I'll take anything, etc. ...so I been told that ... previous owner install a new engine, tranny, changed oil every weekend, only drove on sunny days, PO was an old lady that only drove to church/supermarket PO took it apart on Tuesdays to cleanit and reassembled it on Thursdays etc Anyhow, I hope this has been amusing, I'll keep on searching for my unicorn (MJ-OM617-4x4-5 speed) Thanks again for your hard work, some of us really appreciated. ps: can anyone else add their own insights? ...I'm sure I'm fogetting stuff ;-)
