jimoshel Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Having my morning coffee and doing the crossword puzzle this morn when the phone rang. "Snnnfffgrunt' "you the guy buys Jeeps"? 'Grunt" "Got a 1988 P/U. Interested?" "grunt,,,slurp" "Runs good. $900" "Slurffftt" Got an address and went to look at it. Offered him $300. He got p*ssed and said noway. I pointed out the leaking transmission fluid, coolant from radiator and oil puddle under the engine. Then I pointed out the two big rust holes in the floorboards. Only rust on the whole truck. He said 5? I said noway and got in the truck to leave. He hollars wait a minute. We Talk. $350 and the title changes hands. I drove it the 30 miles home. Ran great. Gonna make a good donor for a couple of my other MJ'S. 4.0, AW4, 4WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenobian_84 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 So, you the guy that buys MJs? Guess so; from the looks of it. Looks like a good parts rig. Shame you can't find deals like that out East here without driving 400 miles + both ways. The more I see those mirrors, the more I take a fancy'in to 'em. Good job :cheers: :brows: :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 some day I want to hire a car hauler and bring a load of those cheap rust-free MJs back east. :D Course I'd only sell them to people that promise to never let them see salt. under penalty of a horrible, horrible death. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJRemi Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Since you don't even have to find MJs anymore as they now find you, I say the next step is to answer the phone, give directions to your place, check out truck from porch, instruct seller to park it amongst the other MJs, and swap $200-$300 for paperwork & keys. All whilst sipping your coffee and finishing your crosswords. :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
