comanche87 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 it maybe worth 3,500 but thats as high he'd get for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfpdm Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 5K is the starting price not the reserve. I'll bet his reserve is anywhere between 8-10k. Very nice but what pisses me off is this statement, WHY AM I SELLING SUCH A RARE PIECE OF JEEP HISTORY? SIMPLE, I BOUGHT IT FROM A FRIEND OF MINE THAT TOOK IT IN ON TRADE AT HIS HONDA DEALERSHIP.I BOUGHT IT FROM THEM FOR A BARGAIN AND I'm FLIPPING IT FOR A SLIGHT MARGIN! I don't care what dealership you go to, they are not going to give you but a few hundred at best over book. So he's trying to make bank on maybe a $1500-$2000 investment. True I'd try to flip it for a good penny but I wouldn't say doubling or tripling my money is a SLIGHT MARGIN. Actually, I lied. I would never sell it. Especially if I got it at the bargin he did.

Jeepinmanch Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I would keep it for myself if I got it for around $1,500. He will have a hard time getting $5,000 dollars or more if the reserve is much higher he must be as well :chillin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 :chillin: :roll: Wacko... That's about all I can say. $2500 - $3500 would be a good to acceptable price. Personally...I would not go over $2500 and probably not that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Why is he yelling? Sounds like a used car salesman... He said he had the custome tonneau cover made a few months ago. If he's flipping it for a "small" margin, he would not have had it for months without fixing the clearcoat spot or the dent in the tailgate. Therefore he drove it for while, found out he paid too much for it, and decided to sell it to recover his money before putting too much wear on the truck. I wouldn't be surprised if this truck saw salt for the first time this winter, and will probably show rust before summer is over. My guess is the auction will end without a single bid, and we will see it again in 2 months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I think he'd maybe get $5k or close to it if he didn't start bidding there. As always, way too many assumpitions or "what if's" regarding true condition w/out seeing and driving it, but that truck is damn sure worth more than $2500 if all is accurate. No, I would not pay $5k but I don't see any reason why that truck isn't worth mid $3s to low $4s IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 5K for a SPORTRUCK? :dunce: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 sport truck, schmort truck, that's got nothing to do with it IMO. 4.0 w/83k is the key, and not a lick of rust (supposedly) clean as a whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Image Not Found You can still find rust free Comanche's for less, I found mine on a used car lot for $2200.00. It was 2wd, 4.0 with only 59.000 miles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Agreed. But if yours was 4wd, it would have been $3k minimum. In any local market you may find a gem like that and get a deal, but for the masses finding one is very difficult because a lot of those small dealers only advertise locally (if at all!) or regionally and can't be found online. Point being, it IS difficult to find rust free, super low mileage 6cyl 4x4 MJs and if those are important requirements for a potential buyer, supply and demand will support a higher price when offered to a larger group of potential buyers, i.e. eBay. By the way, nice rig. I like the beadlocks on the black wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brigarpeon Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Nice look'n truck but still only worth 2500 - 3000 it doesn't have anything special but a chrome grille. As far as the engine; my buddy Ted and I just picked a 4.0 H/O,auto and transfer case W/ 59,000 and some change for his Cherokee. $650 bucks and it was cut out of the donor w/ a torch and all we had to do was pay and park while they loaded it in the bed with a hyster. Then tie it down and drive home...whew hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Damn Brian, you definitely find some deals! When my 4.0 goes, I'll be calling you to find my replacement! Do you prefer to be paid your finders fee in liquid form or green paper? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brigarpeon Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 It's this hillbilly scrap yard. They are only interested in metal; steel, aluminum, copper, brass. It's off in the woods, locals get their parts there, but they are not a salvage yard per say. I've known the guys Jim Garlock and his brothers, Bob and Alain SINCE BACK IN THE 70'S when we were kids their Dad did have an auto salvage close to town so we used to go out and pull stuff for him just so we could drive trucks when we were unlicensed. They cut stuff out like that so they can separate the aluminum and cast from the steel. I've seen them smash perfectly good trannies and cases with a sledge. That's also where I got the YJ FRONT FAUX 44, another drive down let put it in the bed and drive home. Had it two weeks, then Ted brought up his brother Mick, he trashed his front axle and needed a replacement w/ 4:10's. So the barter began; whadda ya want fo it? whadda ya give me? How much, Swopey? I have alot invested in it. I give ya $450. Sold. I only paid $250 for it. Problem with the place is they only get completely broken down ancient equipment and insurance wrecks so ya gotta watch what your buy'n. Interior and exterior parts are mostly aways bent beyond recognition or brain matter and blood stained. Just too creepy for me to sit on or have in my truck. I couldn't charge you a finders fee after you sold me the truck you did for such a good deal and delivered it. But we could have a couple Elephant beers next time if you have the time.

WahooSteeler Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Well, like Warrior said and I agreed, there is always a better deal to be found. Check out this cherry.......for $1800! http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=557699 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brigarpeon Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Yah that's worth the price he paid for it a little more even. I woulda probably stayed away from it because it's a 6 cylinder. But thats because I have all these 4 cylinder parts. I like the 26 - 28 mpg vs 17 mpg. If I were buying a manche without having parts...snatch in a heart beat.

mfpdm Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 It's back. He didn't change the write up but at least this time he started the bid off at 1K. He might get up to the 5K he wanted to start at last time. Ebay listing here :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenF350 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Wow, Newtown CT is where I bought my comanche from last year. Of course, $600 for a 91 4x4 w/ 90k is a little better than 5k!!! Still, its nice to see theres mint examples left out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
