Value My 88 Mj In Ny

[rmoore1031]

Well I might have to sell my 88 MJ. There is only a handful of them around me so figuring out a price is kinda hard. I'm in Upstate NY and there are only 3 Comanches around here that I know of. Here are the specs :

 

1988 Jeep Comanche 2.5 TBI, AX4, 2wd, with 214k original miles. Has a brand new floor and bucket seats out of a Grand Cherokee. It says "Sport" on the side but has manual everything and a sun roof. About a 2" lift all around with new shocks. Sits on 235/75R15 A/T tires with aluminum Jeep wheels. The doors and side of bed have surface rust and dents. All the fluids have been changed in the last few months.

 

I have some extra stuff that would increase the price or sell seperate if needed. Such as a Lund Sun Visor, tool box, steel wheels with new Winterforce tires, extra tail gate, and extra tail lights.

 

I also have a new outdoor carpet that would go with it. Has a CB and magnetic mount that needs to be hooked up.

 

Pics will be posted soon.

I'd say $1,000 + -.

I'd say $1,000 + -.

Unfortunately I have more than that invested in it. I'm gonna shoot high and see what happens. Jw, where are you located?

Around here (Also in the rust belt) that would be in the $600 price range, +/- $250. The condition of the body is really what does it.

Being a 2wd in that condition I would say sub $600

I was hoping for more value. I was offered more before I bought it. Hoping the new floors increase the value here in NY. I posted in locally and hopefully someone with enough interest can take it. I can't learn to drive it so it does no good in the driveway. Also put it for sale on eBay.

At the point that your truck is in, floors would be a push. Whoever buys it is going to just be after a cheap beater or hauler to get around or do work with. In my honest opinion, anyone looking at a truck of that condition would be just as happy cutting a piece of plywood and laying it under the carpet. As an example, I looked at an '89 a couple months back. Took some pics, asked some questions, and posted it here...

I ended up convincing a coworker to take a look at it for his brother. He liked it a lot, and offered $1000. Seller wouldn't budge off $1200, so he just ended up paying that because he didn't want to keep looking.

 

For yours, there are just so many other dimensionally similar trucks that may be in the same shape. Unless you get someone really hard up for an MJ, the price you are shooting for will be tough to get. It has a lot of strikes against it. Base model, 2wd, stick, pretty beat. It's a lot easier to overlook than if it were the same shell with a 4.0L, AW4, and 4x4...

You are right about that stuff. I wanted to keep it and make it 4x4 and a different power-train. But time, money, and space is limited for me. I thought I was one of a few MJs around here. I been slowly finding them more and more often now, still a small handful though. Really hoping that I find someone who wants a MJ in my area.
