jimoshel Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Fella called me up the other night. Asked, "Are you the Jeep guy South of town? Assured him I was. He had a Jeep pick up he was trying to sell. Wondered if I was interested. We talked. It was a 1990 MJ. Belonged to his dad. His folks split and she got the truck. She doesn't want it. The kid doesn't want it. Asking $1200. Went in to look at it. Tried for half an hour to start it. Wouldn't start and finally killed the battery. Kid swore it was running when he parked it 2 weeks ago. I believed him. Offered him $400. Took me 10 minutes to convince that's all a non running P/U was worth. Got it for $450. Got it home. Put 2 gallons of gas in it. Started it and drove it down the road a piece and back. Ran great. Headliner missing. Lower radiator hose leaks. Needs washed. Radio, Tape works. Contents of glove box
Comanche County Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 That's a straight looking truck. $518 for the cassette player is a little steep.
mountainman Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Jim scores again! NICE man. You ever sell any of these? thinking for my next manch i may give you a call. I Want a shortbed 4.0 4x4 91 or 92. You find so damn many. Sheesh.
DirtyComanche Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 That's not even 'You suck' territory. That's more in the range of 'I hate you'. $450! I wish I could find one for that sort of price... And that I had a shop.
johnny quest Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 wow and i thought i got lucky with my $500 chief that needed a transmission. nice find!
Alexia Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I have one I am looking at right now that I think I could get them down to $500 for it. Just has electrical issues and needs death wobble repairs.
MJRemi Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 That's not even 'You suck' territory. That's more in the range of 'I hate you'. $450! I wish I could find one for that sort of price... And that I had a shop. Jim doesn't have to find them anymore, they find him. I wouldn't be surprised if future"sellers" pay him to haul it away.
87Warrior Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Jim doesn't have to find them anymore, they find him. I wouldn't be surprised if future"sellers" pay him to haul it away. When that happens.... you are doing it right! Nice find Jim.
Keyav8r Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I'm going to make a pilgrimage to Pueblo and learn from the MJ master.
jimoshel Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Nothing wrong with the lower hose. It just didn't have a clamp on it. Put a clamp on it, it quit leaking. Get my new headliner from Steve and wash it. Have me a new DD. Anybody else catch the '@$$' next to the price in the last pic? Just noticed it.
Exgrayxj Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Sold new in Pueblo. Dealer installed a/c. Why can't something like this find me? BOO HOO, I'm going out to the garden and eat fuzzy worms ... Nice, Jim!
gogmorgo Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I wonder what the @$$ feature is... You'd think Jeep would expect it to be reliable enough not to need to include a donkey to pull it home... Or maybe it's cause it is in fact as hard working as a donkey?
terrawombat Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 If people are calling him to sell a vehicle, then they're desperate to get rid of it. Jim's got the upper hand before he even sees the truck. Your name is Jim, isn't it? Pretty sure Sir Sam's name is not Sam...so just making sure ;)
Pete M Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I do believe that's the "flash to pass feature". which leaves much to the imagination. :rotf:
jimoshel Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Pete got it. One free valve stem cap on it's way. :banana:
Harley Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Pete got it. One free valve stem cap on it's way. :banana: Hope its a chrome one. one of those ya can use a wrench to tighten it and keep the lil bastard kids from stealing it
Alexia Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Pete got it. One free valve stem cap on it's way. :banana: It shows it fully in the picture before it. :P
