NHMJXJ Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 My Comanche is uncommon. My rust free Comanche is "Rare". It's worth more to me than it is to you, but I'm going to ask A LOT when I sell it (my MJ is not for sale, this is rhetorical). Not an exact quote, but one of our own recently wrote, "If I'm buying, not more than $500, if I'm selling, not less than $3000". (Love it!) There are 4 MJ's on ebay as I type. They range from an honest 88 Pioneer listed by a dealer for a ridiculous $5995, to a no reserve auction for a tired plow truck. Current bid, $525. The other two are high mileage repaints that are "rare". The reality is, there's an @$$ for every seat. This thread was inspired by the question ... "What's it worth?"
ParadiseMJ Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 What's it worth? What ever you can get for it OR what ever you'll let it go for for OR whatever someone will pay for it. "What ever the market will bear" ?. The answer goes for pretty much anything.
JeepcoMJ Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 I would pay up to $2000 for a rust free, non-running comanche.
NHMJXJ Posted November 30, 2013 Author Posted November 30, 2013 Shouldn't that last reply be in the wanted section? Oh yeah, it is! Times two.
JeepcoMJ Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Yup. I've put it there. Just stating my value on a rust free one. Same truck, running, 3k max. I'd rather build one with a bad motor than buy one that someone else has worked on.
NHMJXJ Posted November 30, 2013 Author Posted November 30, 2013 No, I get it. I was just crackin' wise. I don't think 2K is out of line for a truly "rust free" roller. To find a rust free driver in New England is a challenge, and near impossible to find one under $3000.
JeepcoMJ Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Yup. Well, the reason I'm so anal on zero rust is, once the rust starts, there's no stopping it....and I don't intend to rebuild the trucks any time soon once they are done this time throough.
skidoo_j Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 There's a rust free roller/runner in southern oregon for 600. Just have to file for lost title. It's electrical is shot, but he's got it running some how and it sounds great. It had a dana 44 rear. and factory bumper (factory brackets) it's a it tweaked. He's parting it out now. I pulled the tail lights, short bed gas tank skid, tail gate. And I'm to get the rear axle if he doesn't sell it whole. I'm sure if someone offered him 450 he'd take it. And I'd even sell you back the tailgate and lights for what I paid. Keeping the skid. it's an 88 4x4. I took pictures of it for my reference if anyones interested I can get you his info too. But only if you're going to buy it whole.
Incommando Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 What would you pay for this truck knowing it hwas a 4.0 auto 4x4 with a factory LSD D44 under the back and could (and was) driven for hundreds of miles at a time? In a rust belt state? My answer was $800.
shelbyluvv Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Pat, What about a rust free, low VIN, Magnum swapped and lifted 86?
NHMJXJ Posted November 30, 2013 Author Posted November 30, 2013 Not enough info to make an educated bid and the picture tells us little. Did $800 buy it?
JeepcoMJ Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Pat, What about a rust free, low VIN, Magnum swapped and lifted 86? nah. I don't want one with more than 3", and I want to install what I want for it, with my two MJ's being the engine donors for the project.
Incommando Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Not enough info to make an educated bid and the picture tells us little. Did $800 buy it? If that was to me yes I bought it for $800.
NHMJXJ Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 So the answer is, $800. Now, what would your selling price be?
jpnjim Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Hmmm, you could just list what you paid for MJs & sold them for I never sold one, so my list would be; $1200 $500 $500 $2200 (iirc on all)
glundblad Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 I couldn't imagine selling mine for under $6000. It is not been modified or molested in any way other than a seat/console swap. I still have a lot more in it than $6000. The selling price seems to be all over the place. Interestingly enough, even the old FSJ/J10/J20's don't seem to sell for much compared with how scarce they are. Maybe no one cares about old jeeps. Only the new goofy looking ones.
JeepcoMJ Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 I think the honest answer is that they are worth what someone will pay. You'll see them low priced all over, and high priced all over. There seldom seems to be a middle ground regarding these. to some, they're a collector's car or wheeler. to others, they're scrap metal
