I wasn't the winning bidder. He emailed me and said that the guy never got ahold of him, so i went out and test drove it today. I think the diamond plating is hiding rust, but i'm not too worried, i just want something to take me out into the woods and get me back lol. We may make an offer on saterday when the guy who won the bid's time runs out.

that makes a difference, (to me) as I wouldn't want to buy from someone if they didn't keep their word (to the original bidder).

(of course, he also could have had a buddy bidding to jack up the price, and got caught with his pants down when the bidding stopped....I'll give him the benefit of the doubt)

I'm not a huge fan of the body lift, but the price doesn't seem too out of line.

If you just want to go play with it then 3K wouldn't be bad but if you keep looking you can find nicer rigs for the $. Most of them will be stock, but lifts are easy.

Also if you want sites to watch we have a jeep club here in Springfield, the link is in my sig. Also www.midwestjeepthing.com/forums has several jeeps for sale on there right now.

I wouldn't give more than $2000 for that, but that's just me. I would definitely try and work him on the price a little. What was your high bid? There's no sense in paying any more than what your high bid was. The seller on eBay can see what your high bid was, and usually when they send a second chance offer to another losing bidder, your highest bid is usually the set price.

It may be that Jeeps up north sell for more, but you can get something like that down here in Florida much, much cheaper and they typically have less rust. Mine lived in Arkansas on an Air Force base for a long while, so I do have some minor surface rust, but nothing a ton of grinding, sanding, and POR-15 can't fix...

Since you said you wanted it only for off road so I'd say that $3k is reasonable...at least for this area. I've seen nicer looking Jeeps for $3k BUT if you can actually see it and drive it...that makes a huge difference. A lot of things look good on ebay. Fact is, our local 4x4 shop has several Jeeps sitting around that were brought in to be fixed by people who them off ebay. He calls them ebay Jeeps. On the other hand, I've bought two off ebay myself and got what was advertised (actually better in one case). GOOD LUCK!
