Anyone who knows the Jeep market, what might I expect to find? Mid-1990s? Am I expecting to spend too little for what I want?

Note : There is no such thing as a factory V6 option on Wranglers…
it’s an I6 🙂

for $4k i dont think youll find newer than a 95. you might see a little bit of rust. 5 speeds are a little on the harder side to find in decent condition, but not impossible. alloy wheels are not likely since almost every mid 90’s had 5 spoke steel rims, so the owner would have had to go aftermarket. you really are dreaming for A/C, im almost positive only the Saharas had A/C, and i got the only one i could find after looking for awhile.

Look worth more than $4000? (AKA: “Would I be wasting my time looking at something out of my reach?”) 😃

jeep steelies \> jeep alloys … the alloys love to rot between the tire and the rim . seen plenty of the jeep alloys that needed a healthy grinding / coat of bead sealer

Just as it says, I have a 1992 Jeep Wrangler 4.0l for sale. It is white in color. It has high miles, the odometer stopped at around 130,000. I have barely driven it in the past year because I have a company vehicle. I take it down the road around once a week so it isn’t just sitting there not being run. So I say the miles are around 180,000. It still runs strong, doesn’t leak or burn oil, has a new radiator. I haven’t had any major problems with it, I have only changed the clutch, radiator, and minor things. I am asking $3500.00 OR BEST OFFER.
That’s my friend on my Galant board
lemme know if you are interested
You can probably get him a lot cheaper.

Ok. I broke down and realized this is more than a “winter” car for me, so I went and talked to a little used car dealer. This guy knows his stuff, and seems on the up-and-up. I can’t afford to buy some piece of crap every year like I’ve been doing. This is it, my “other” car for awhile, not just the winter.
**I put a deposit on this:**
1997 Wrangler Sport
6 Cylinder
4.0L
5-Speed Manual Transmission
110k miles
Full Doors
Hard Top + 3-piece Soft Top (Bimini)
Sport Wheels
Sound Bar
(it’s white for anyone who cares)
$6900
Kelly Blue Book retails at around $8400. Like the guy said, even private sellers will get retail for most Wranglers (I believe him after shopping around).
I can cancel the deal within the next couple days if I choose to, or have him look for something else if I am willing to risk passing up this one for something else (worse? better? you never know!).
What do you think? SoopaSteve? EMX?
