Default 2008 Rubicon Good Price?

Found a 2008 4 Door Black Rubicon with 500 Miles with a 3" Full Traction Lift & Freedom hardtop price is $28,900.00 - good price?

That makes a huge difference.
You left that out in your first post.


P.s. Good deal.

How does it only have 500 miles on it? Man, I love these idiots who install lifts on their Jeeps so they can show them off to their buddies in their garage. This guy's stupidity might work to your advantage in this case, , but I still don't understand the mentality.

The only kind of garage queens I like are these:

I dont think I would ever buy a jeep that was not modified by myself. It seems sooooo much could go wrong.

probably a dealer "demo". One of many sales incentives used by dealerships to get the sales up is to let the "salesman of the month" (or sales manager) drive a new vehicle for a month. My local jeep dealer has at least 2 new lifted JK's at any one time. Those are also the ones you see on test drives.

Default decent deal

i paid $22,500 out the door taxes in for my brand new 2008 Rubi Unlimited in June of 2008. Fully loaded except it only had a hard top. This was right at the time of the auto market crash so the dealer wanted it gone.......still have the original window sticker that it had on it and it was listed at $34,500....couldn't pass this deal by and i love it.

Agreed, I bought my 4D 08 Rubi in March 09 right before DC went bankrupt, stickered at $34.5K, bought out the door at $26.5K w/ 2% 5yr financing.

I think that is a decent buy...especially since it only has 500mi. It seems as though the price of the JK has definitely appreciated since I purchased mine...that $29K sticker seems fair.
