Hey Fellas and Ladies,

I found another jeep:

1993 Sahara 6cyl, 5speed, Hard top, Hard doors, Never been offroad (for what thats worth) No liftkits or any modifications. 125,000 miles on the clock. He is asking $5,900 for it but I bet he would take 5k. Whaddya think....comments ....critisisims

TIA,

Mark

Where's it at? Rust? Body and frame condition? If it's good...I wouldn't go above 5K. Mileage is getting high and it's 10yrs old. Offer the $5000. Good luck.[addsig]

I think it is a sad old Jeep and needs a new owner that will let go out and play once in a while! Never been off road that is just sad! give the man what you have to get and then get it dirty and fix er up. Tug[addsig]

Welp she may have never been offroad but had lotsa gawdy chrome crap on it :P horrible looking if ya ask me. Tires that stuck out about 2" outside the fenders and it had been wired for a huge stereo (hack job). Had about a half a million rockchips on her. I was not going to pay him the $5900 that he was asking but he would not let me drive the jeep to test..........well...at that time I picked up and left...was a little miffed about the whole deal...

Oh well if I look at one used wrangler per weekend maybe by this time next year I will have one in my drive.

Thanks for all the advice.[addsig]

That's way too much for that old and that many miles (IMO). I paid $5000, last August, for a 95 YJ with 70K on it, 200 watt system, best top and a bikini top, lock boxes, brand new tires.[addsig]

Yup been looking in the register lately...I am looking for a 97 or newer hard top with less than 100k and I 5 speed....I have a 99 found with a soft top, 5 speed, and a 4 cyl That is spotless but has 105,000 on the ticker...for $8000...I have driven the 4 cyl down the interstate a bit and really don't have a problem with the power (drove a 4 cyl 5speed s-10 for four years). I don't know if I would like the 4 cyl after living with a V8 for the last four years......(sure wouldn't mind a bit better mpg at the pump).

: On a side note, anyone have an average miles to explosion for the FI 2.4?

FWIW,

Hossenfeth

The gas mileage on the 4 banger is good...but it is a bit lacking in the power dept. I had a 4.3 chevy truck and I kind of miss being able to feel the power under my foot.[addsig]

I had as 4 cyl. And sold it because it did not have enough power for me, now I have a 6 cyl. And now alls right with the world. I think it is best to keep looking, than get the wrong jeep.[addsig]

The 4banger is no fun. I had a 00 TJ with the 4 in it and everytime I got to drive my gf's fathers Sahara it was a different world. Go with the 6. [addsig]
