There's a 2012 wrangler up the street with a 2.5 skyjacker lift which includes the shocks, coils, and lower control arms, also has front and rear aftermarket bumpers and comes with a winch and also an aftermarket cold air intake and dual exhaust. It comes with 4 brand new studded 265/16s on black Rock rims and he has 285 summer tires on pro comp rims. Has power locks, windows, cruise pretty much all the power options, 3.73 gears in the rear and factory lsd diff. 32000 miles and is really clean. And it was basically a mall crawler he's the only owner and i couldnt see any signs of offroad use he even said he's never taken it offroad.
I got the guy down to 19k I told him I would get it friday. Does anyone think this is a bad price? I think from what I've seen around here this is a deal.

I don't think its a bad deal, there are TJ's around where i live still going for $13-$15k, Now i hope you did your research into the 2012's and the bad heads. Its easy to know just listen to the engine and you'll hear the distinctive ticking noise.

Sounds like a good deal since the mods on it add up and it is a nice looking jk. As above, you could get a new jk for a little more but would cost a lot more when factoring in mods

Ya I listened to it for a minute and didn't hear anything and they extended the warranty on them to 10 year 150k. Ya there's tjs around here going for that I went to a dealer and they wanted 19k for a 2009 with 50k miles and no mods and wouldn't drop on it after everything it's going to be 19500 otd which a dealer this jeep would be marked at 25k around here.
