Alexia Posted January 30, 2021 Author Posted January 30, 2021 This is going to suck, but I am going to have to sell my LJ before I move. :e I do not even know how much to sell something like this for.
Pete M Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 or shove it in that crate and sell it over there. I'd wager you get big bucks in Japan

Alexia Posted January 30, 2021 Author Posted January 30, 2021 Okay, if this has valid inspection in Japan there just might be hope. https://www.quadruped.jp/customs/index.html?id=1103 Also, BUGGY CAMARO. https://www.quadruped.jp/customs/index.html?id=1117
Alexia Posted February 7, 2021 Author Posted February 7, 2021 Someone on Facebook found me and sent me a message about buying it. I casually dropped a high number and they basically agreed.(Pending me wrapping things up.) I really think I need to use a Bring-A-Trailer auction for this.
Pete M Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 so the options I see are: -sell to this guy -drop on auction site -take with you to Japan and be known as that badass american with the badass Jeep either way it needs to be driving, yes? how close are you to that? have you looked into what it takes to register it in Japan? SirSam just put an XJ on BAT if you want to ask him any questions about the experience.

SirSam just put an XJ on BAT if you want to ask him any questions about the experience. I finished installing the gauge cluster earlier and I need to finish running the wires back to the fuel level sensor. I also pulled the wires out for the AC high/low switches to have them ready for the shop to hook up. There is still the stupid P2138 issue though.
Sir Sam Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I think your Jeep would do very well on BAT.
89 MJ Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I would have a hard time not bringing that thing to Japan, but I'm guessing it would be VERY expensive to get it there.

Alexia Posted February 17, 2021 Author Posted February 17, 2021 $10,000 is the estimate to get it there and make it legal which is around a third of the potential auction price. Instead I can auction it and put that money towards purchasing a house outright in the future.
Pete M Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 ouch! yeah, I bet a house would be easier to live out of.
89 MJ Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Or, you spend 15 grand making it legal and overland ready and you live in the Jeep, best of both worlds, with the exception of running water, indoor plumbing, etc., etc.,
