Be patient and wait for a deal your happy with. Don't just search you local Craig's list, their are apps that let you search within a specified radius or you can just search craiglist in other markets you'd be willing to drive to. Decide which priorities are deal breakers and which ones you can compromise. For example, I would not let a dirty interior or scratched under body break a deal. The first thing I did to my jeep was tear out the carpet anyways. The nice thing about jeeps is every thing is fixable and replaceable. If you find a jeep you like but for one defect, consider using that defect to lower the price. Also, get the word out to keeping family and friends that you are looking for a wrangler. So stoked word of mouth can get you a sweet deal. Happy hunting!
