Would you buy it?Pics! NO TITLE!!??

[jeep_freek88]

Ok I found a 1989 comanche 4x4 4.0 5speed on craigslist for $300. 150,000 mi

the steering colum has been removed :eek:, but everything els is there.

 

I don't have pictures yet, but the guy is going to email me some.

 

I don't know what tranny is in it, but I asked him to send me a pic of the tranny... the rig is 3 1/2 hours away so yea

 

 

What do you think? Ill keep you posted on the pics.

 

peace :wavey:

I wouldn't hesitate if the body was decent.

Does he have a clean and clear title? Mileage? How long has the truck been sitting since it last ran? Are the tires flatspotted? Assuming you can tow it back yourself, you could at least have a good parts truck for $300. The only way I'd pass on it is if the body is completely rotted with rust and the drivetrain is trashed, in which case it may be more trouble than it's worth to go that far.

I'm assuming it has a clear title, but will find out for sure. 150,000 mi. tires ?? it has been sitting for like a year. :???:

Ill get siome pics up as soon as I get them.

 

the ax-15 trans is a 5 speed right?

[JeepcoMJ]

it's possibly an ax15, but more likely to be a ba10/5

:agree: 89 was a cross-over year for 5-speeds. i've seen both in them.

no, the one he's looking at is a sport.

 

the stripes are correct.

 

 

answer to question, yes, it is ripe for the purchasing.

Carfax? Here you can just take a VIN number to the insurance office and have them run it for $10.

Register it in Rhode Island, you don't need a title.

[MrSimon]

Make some calls and see if you can apply for a list title. If you can't get the title, I'd still buy it. At the least, you could resell it for a profit :cheers:
