Is this a good deal? Please help!

I'm looking into buying my first jeep. I saw this one advertised here in town but I'm skeptikal because the price is listed about $2000 below the Kelley Blue Book value. Do you all see any obvious reasons why this Jeep is priced like this and/or does it look like a jeep to move forward on? Thanks for the help!

I would say yes as long as there's not anything that you would want to immediately change about it. for instance, If you think you might want to get some different wheels then you're already out somewhere between an extra 500-1000 bucks...

If you like it go for it....

I certainly want some new wheels. I can't stand the orange. I'm thinking about asking them to exchange these orange ones with cheap black rims. Hopefully they can do this w/o raising the price. Does this seem logical?

id get it and buy some cragar soft 8. they are only about 50 bucks a piece. those orange ones are nasty lol....

to be honest i wouldnt buy this one though. for that much money you could get a much more capable rig. like a yj on 37s. shop around.

Well I don't plan on doing anything too crazy in it.....yet. Just looking for a fun car to tool around in. Maybe hit some easy trails.

keep looking. if you want something for "easy trails" you don't have to spend more than 4 grand

I'm using this as my primary vehicle as well as my new toy so I want something newer/more reliable that will last me awhile. That sucker only has 25,000k miles on it....very appealing. I know the jeep has sat on the lot for over a month so I'm going try and talk them down to about $15k.
