YAY OR NAY!?? Need Opinions.
Alright So This Jeep will be my primary vehicle/everyday driver.
There's a small dealership down the road from me thats selling a 01 Wrangler 5 Speed w/ 75k miles.
The Tires are 31" but i forget the brand and width.
Its silver with a brand new black soft top that hasn't even been put on yet.
Its in pretty good condition as far as I can tell, I have not driven it yet though
He wants 10,800 for it. Is this a good deal???? Will this jeep be good for me? As far as be a good everyday driver...
(also I can provide more info when I can get back up there for a few minutes, all I had time for was maybe a whole 3 minutes of looking it over.)

The price seems a little high to me. I just saw an '04 Rubicon at a local dealership for 12,500 with 65k miles the other day. I would try to get him down to 8-9k.

That price seems very high, I bought my 03 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with 38K and new soft top for $12,500, six months ago.

per Kelly blue book for your area $9,500.00 is the retail value based the the detailed information you provided.
That said, most used car lots have about 30% mark up in their asking prices. So I would start off with a offer of 7,500.00 and SLOWLY let them work it up to the 8K range.

Thanks guys! I figured I would try and talk him down. If we wont take 8,500 for it. I'll walk. I'll try to get lower, but thats the highest I'll go. I can find a nicer jeep for my money I think.
