grumpiebill Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Not sure this is appropriate here...is $100 for a tailgate with minor damage (top corners each end) too much? I just sold this guy my 2.8 motor & transmission. I was asking $400 and came down $200 and was expecting a better deal...suspect I'm being nieve Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Offer $50. Say you gave him half off asking so it's only fair. People's defition of "minor" will vary so a picture would be ideal. If the gate does what you want to, grab it. It's not unlike other prices I've seen. Ive rarely seen a tailgate listed for under $100, even with some cosmetic damage.

He also wanted $100 for a front bumper...Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the JY and get one off an XJ for next to nothing. The MJ and XJ front bumpers are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I could see $100 for a tailgate in good enough condition (no or not much lower seam rust, and with a tailgate handle). Don't pay that much if you can get it for less, obviously, but he's not completely crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'd pay $100 for one in good condition. I'd pay $200 for one that was mint or only needed paint. No lie. And it's spelled naive. Don't think I'm trying to be a twat by correcting you, it's a weird word and lots of people spell it wrong, I'm just trying to preserve the English language.

Jeep Driver Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I paid $75 for mine about 3 years ago and I drove 6 hours round trip to get it. And I've got about 5 hours work in it. Like anything else, it's worth what it's worth to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
