Trout907 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Saw this 91 Comanche for sale near me and I'm pretty tempted to buy it. Seems a little high and the rust/odo (estimates at 67k) worries me, but seems like a pretty nice rig otherwise and 4x4s go for a premium up here. Price has dropped to $6500 with room to barter. What do you all think? http://jeepcomancheforsale.com/1991-pioneer-ax15np231d44-anchorage-ak/
krustyballer16 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I just bought Black Betty on here for less than $1000 and the body is in way better shape than that. No way that NADA says its worth $12k. Worth $2000 max in my opinion. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk
Trout907 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Posted March 13, 2018 Thanks, I figured as much but on the off chance that it was worth it didn't want to pass it up. The search continues!
jeeppapa Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Thanks, I figured as much but on the off chance that it was worth it didn't want to pass it up. The search continues! Check Craigslist in LA there is always Comanches on it. CA cars with minimal rust if any. If they can’t be sold with a current CA smog certificate that really effects the price. Agreed if your going to spend that much money it may worth jumping on a plane to check it out. You’ll get a better base to start with. Just a thought on it. You could get a good 2wd and convert to 4wd for that much money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
gogmorgo Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Is it actually still for sale? Craigslist ad was posted in November. As to the 4x4 fetching a higher price... A 2wd is a weekend and a $300 XJ away from a 4x4.

You're almost better off starting with a 2wd so you can pick and choose components and do a lot of the maintenance items while you're in there.
DesertRat1991 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 How many MJs could there possibly be left in Alaska? How many of those had D44s? How much would it cost to ship an MJ D44 from the lower 48? How much does it cost to ship a complete lift kit to Alaska? How much does a clean, unmolested MJ go for in Alaska? I doubt you could reproduce the truck for less than 6k given your location. The biggest red flag though, as online car adds go, is this part: "D30 front(needs a little tlc)." That could mean anything. Get details. Inspect gears and tube seals.
Eagle Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Front bumper is tweaked. Grille is falling out. Tailgate is bent. Wheel arches inside the bed are bashed up. That thing looks to me like a beater truck that just had a Earl Schieb paint job thrown on it.
SBpunk Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Finding a good rust free comanche in alaska is going to be a pain.
