Dammerung Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 I’ve been looking for a Comanche for a while in CA. Trying to find one that isn’t outrageously expensive or thrashed beyond recognition is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Is there anyone who can help? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
13 Legion Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Where in Cali are you located? What specifically are you looking for? 4.0,2.5, 4x4, year, daily driver, rock crawler, weekend driver? There’s many for sale. You may have to travel to find what your looking for! What’s your budget?
Jeep Driver Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Be more diligent- This one is gone now, straight, clean, left-coast legal. Was a hell of a deal for someone.

Yup, patience and consistent daily searches and the ability to act fast. And by daily searches, I mean morning and evening at a minimum. Are you aware of Autotempest.com or Searchtempest.com? These search across most auto sales sites and/or across Craigslist. Facebook marketplace has become as loaded with listings as Craigslist so if you are on FB that's a good place too.
Pete M Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 yup, if you want one that is both nice and cheap, then you need to be super diligent and maybe a bit lucky. It's just a fact that prices have gone up. (this can actually be seen as a good thing as more trucks and parts are being saved that would otherwise have been crushed, but it sucks when you're trying to get in to the hobby. ) Cali is one of the best places to be, as trucks that are very solid are far more plentiful than in the midwest and so don't carry as much value.
NHMJXJ Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 You can certainly check CC.com's classifieds on a regular basis. Many of us cross-post what we discover for the benefit of our little community and new people like you. If you're searching for the proverbial "barn find", have ca$h on hand and be ready to pull the trigger. It won't be there tomorrow. Don't be discouraged though ... there's always another truck.

I have a budget of around 3kSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Dammerung Posted July 26, 2019 Author Posted July 26, 2019 NorCal or SoCal? What's your budget and how far are you willing to drive? I’m central. I’m willing to drive almost anywhere across the state. $3-4K is my budget.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Shharks Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Use Craigslist - San Francisco, Sacramento and Los Angeles areas for searches.. There are two that I know of in the Sacramento area for sale.

The first one was sold and the owner didn’t take down the ad. The second is out of my price range and I’m just not in the market for a tall, lifted truck. I want one that’s a shortbed, 2 or 4 wheel drive it doesn’t matter. I love the look of the stock trucks.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Shharks Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Yea I like the look of stock too... If you do a search of all of craigslist, you can find a couple of Comanches in Oregon and Washington for sale... Fly up and drive back!

WahooSteeler Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Here's a Searchtempest search using Fresno as the base point and 750 mile radius. There's a 91 HO in there with a homemade camper on it AND a small boat all for $7k....... for the rest of you following this thread. https://www.searchtempest.com/search?search_string=jeep comanche&category=8&subcat=sss&cityselect=zip&location=93728&maxDist=750&Region=combined
JMO413 Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 I looked for a year or so to find a black 4.0 5 speed 4X4. Now I still look at Craigslist, eBay, Google, etc every day looking for it's twin in 2WD. Someday I will find it. The hunt is all part of it! Good luck and keep looking.

Vineyard86manch Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Not sure if you’re on all things Jeep Comanche on fb but this came up on the page like ten minutes ago.

He said the wiring in the front is kinda bad which is why the blinker doesn’t work.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JMO413 Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 If that wasn't half way across the country I would definitely buy it. 1 hour ago, Jeep Driver said: 90%.......well.........maybe 99.99999% of all MJs have wiring issues. Be prepared no matter what you buy. Agreed! Most 30 year old vehicles do.
