terrawombat Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Been talking with this guy a bit. He sounds desperate to get rid of the truck. Said he would let it go for $500 if I came and got it today, but no way I'm taking off work for a rust bucket. Looks like it has some good, usable parts on it and a decent drive train, but given the extent of the rot on the body and frame, it's probably too far gone for me to consider it. http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/cto/2338362524.html Nice tailgate, bench, and visor!
88pioneer Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 If I can get him to 400 i might just have to buy it. I'd love to get a full HO Comanche wiring harness
terrawombat Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Yea, I was mainly interested in the HO stuff. He also said there was only a little bit of rust on the bed so that had me interested, too. But then he posted pics and it's pretty far gone - much worse than any of the MJs I have. Now, if it had really nice bucket seats and a center console with column shift (is that even possible), I'd be on it. Let me know if you do wind up getting it. I'd probably buy some parts off of you.
88pioneer Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Sure thing. I'm gonna give him a call tomorrow. I really just want the wiring, visor, and maybe the motor and t-case. I'd probably sell everything else off.
88pioneer Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Called the guy last night... He scrapped the whole damn thing

terrawombat Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 He was a pretty flaky seller so I'd be surprised if anyone could have even bought the thing. I called on it last Thursday, April 14th and told him I could come up that Saturday but I wanted to at least see some pictures of the thing to make sure it wasn't a total basket case. Never got any pictures so I called on it again and he gave me the standard, "My phone broke because I dropped it in a puddle" excuse. He gave me his e-mail address and asked me to send him an e-mail so he got mine and he would send me pictures. Sent e-mail...nothing. Called him again and he said he would upload pictures to the CL ad and once he finally did that, I knew it wasn't worth the trip unless he would take $400 or less for it. I negotiated a bit with him on the phone, but the lowest I could get him down to was $600. Wasn't worth that to me since it didn't really have much going for it other than the HO stuff and the visor.
Automan2164 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Just find out where he took it and see if you can pull parts off it before it gets crushed. Probably be cheaper and easier to not deal with a flaky seller anyway. Rob
88pioneer Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Might have to do that. I really want those HO parts.
btm24 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Couldnt you just offer just over scrap price for it to the scrap yard and take the hole thing? Brandon
