88swampedmj Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 well i just got off the phone with a guy kinda close to me with a '89 4.0 5spd 4x4 manche.. he says its got all new clutch pressure plate.. slave cylinder.. ect.. a/c works.. runs good rebuilt motor.. in the one pic i see it looks good.. he wants 2,900 OBO.. should i offer 2,500 or less?
Oizarod115 Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 look at it then make the offer, check AX15 or BA10... thatll change the value, HOW cold is the a/c... iknow texas gets just as toasty if not more than ga so you'll want gooood @$$ a/c :brows:
Pete M Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I'd ask for proof of that engine work. Heck, I'd ask for proof of any repairs or replaced parts he claims. New cigarette lighter? Where's the receipt? :D
Twisty Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 its $900 more than i paid for my 1995 XJ, and $2775 more than i paid for my MJ. in all honesty, if it works, and you won't have to put ANY money into it to get it going right, and registered, then it might be worht it.
88swampedmj Posted January 24, 2007 Author Posted January 24, 2007 yea, from what he says it sounds ok but iam gonna look it over really closely first.. before i make any type of offer.. and well iam only gonna offer 2k at the most.. its cash he should take it haha.. here's a pic of it.. the only one given.. 1989 Jeep Comanche pick up truck 4 wheel drive Rebuilt 4.0 inline six 5-speed manual transmission A/C works 4 wheel drive rebuilt motor new cam new crank & bearing new valve job new lifters new oil pump new clutch new pressure plate new slave cylinder 31" tires $2900 OBO Good little truck.

pingpong Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Normally when stuff has been replaced like that, it means it was broken :eek: So new parts aren't always a good thing when buying a used rig. New rad and water pump sometimes means " rig was running hot, so I threw money at it"
88swampedmj Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 yea i see what ya mean.. thats why i decided to get one in w/e condition and try to find a junked out or wrecked from the rear 97+ xj to swap motor/tranny/tcase and stuff into the manche... i think that would be fun
