dasbulliwagen Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Drove to Charlotte yesterday to pick up a matress set we bought, got to the warehouse and the guard there asked me if my truck was original or a custom built thing. I told him it was all factory and that there werent many left... he just smiled and went back to what he was doing. I know many of you have had this experience already, but Ive had my truck 5 or 6 years now, and this is my first time. I feel so special now! So that ones off my list now. Now if I can just get strangers to offer to buy it from me out of the blue, I think I will be all set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGTgoHARD Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I just got offered $1000 from some mechanic. I was driving by his garage and he waved me down trying to buy it on the spot. I told him he would have to offer more then what its worth for me to give. Good experience for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64 Cheyenne Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I was offered $3K for my (rust free, but far from pristine) Chief and turned it down... :wall: actually I was BSn with a guy and threw out a $# and he said OK He said he never seen an MJ before and wanted it. Would have took the money but I knew I could never replace it for what I have in it (time and money). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said Comanche & He was all "Oh.. wow, Really?" :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 ...And dealer asked what vehichle.. Said Comanche & He was all "Oh.. wow, Really?" :rotf: Try that, get the "Wow, don't see many of those anymore... What engine?" Then reply with "Oh, the diesel.", and the parts guy almost falls off his chair. Now that I've done that a few times though, they expect it and it's no longer any fun.

Comanche County Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 A real redneck kid wants to buy my truck, but I know he would destroy it. I've had a several low offers, and a couple high offers and one "name your price" offer and the guy meant it. I always tell myself I'd take a decent offer, but then thoughts start running through my head about one day stumbling onto it smashed up in JY. This is the only Jeep I've gotten attached to, normally I can break up pretty easily with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody4359 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 2 years ago the owner of a locomotive repair company tried buying my mj because it would have matched his rv.

imstuck Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 No one's gonna believe me but i had a guy pull me over waving franticly until i stopped chatted me up for a few minutes while walking around my Manche the whole time and asks what would i sell it for? When i said it wasn't, he got quiet then said how's $10,000 sound? I thought abput it for a minute then said pass. Don't need the money that bad and thought "What do i buy if i do sell it"? And could think of nothing for $10,000 id want more. I get more attention and questions in this thing than any machine iv'e ever owned. And iv'e owned some high end stuff. So I'm keeping the old turd haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Still haven't had an offer to buy mine (only had it for seven months) but I pulled into a 10-min oil change the other day because I was in a hurry and it needed done... and the guys in there were all over it. Really good feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadinator Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm in car sales now. I was talking to a customer that was driving a jeep and I mentioned the manche. He immediately asked me if I wanted to sell. He has been looking for one. Additionally one of the other salesmen here asked me if I wanted to sell it when he first saw it. Nope and nope.

Minuit Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I've gotten numerous offers to sell my 'pristine Cherokee with a bed welded on'. I will not let my truck go for any less than $30,000 and on the condition that I would immediately buy it back for what it is actually worth. I haven't sold it yet for some reason. It's also pretty fun to count the number of people driving past that stare in awe at my truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowey Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I took mine the Jeep dealer to get some parts..The sales manager asked me where I got someone to put a bed on a Cherokee. I told him that the factory built it. Then he tried to tell me that he has sold Jeeps for 30 years and had never sold even one of those 'factory conversions' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
