Default Some opinions on this JK

I'm not in the market for a JK now, but I know I will have one eventually. For the time being, still enjoying my TJ.

I did come across this listing in autotrader, and well it has me thinking. I just thought I would get some opinions form you guys (and gals) and see what you thought. Does it look like a fair price and worth pursuing? I'm about 2 hours away from that dealer.



A couple of pics








It's got 3200 miles on it. Looks like a basic X with the Rubi wheels and tires. I don't really know for sure. It doesn't have power windows, which I thought was standard on the higher end X.

What do you guys think? Is that Jeep worth the asking price ($24,975 at the time of this post)? Thanks everyone.

Unless it is a 2010, IMO $25K is too high. Dealers in my corner of the world will go down 2-3K below asking price many times.

It looks like a clean vehicle. How is the undercarriage? Full of mud?

Don't know. I'm about 2 hours away, so I thought I would get some opinions first before heading out that way.


EDIT: I did a build for a 2010 Sport on Edmunds.com just to see what results I would get. With the 23s package, Infinity 6spkers/sub, and 3.73 gears, it comes to 28,000 MSRP and 27,000 Invoice.


Looks like I might have to pass and just hold out a bit longer. Bummer

I haven't been tracking the used JK market lately, but over the summer there were quite a few JKs for sale. At one point I thought there was something major wrong with them.

I know. What little faith!

I got mine in june with almost the same setup for $19,700. But now i think that was way too low and fair would be 22-23.

That seem's a bit steep for a base X model with just a soft top. Mind you I paid $25k for a new '08 rubicon unlimited which was fairly well equipped in April of this.

Remember, that's just their asking price to start negotiating.
You can certainly get it for less, especially if it's been on the lot for a while.

I got my brand new Sahara with all options except the automatic transmission last year for $24500. However, I'm not sure how much the market has changed in the last year. With Chrysler out of bankruptcy and producing less vehicles I would expect prices to go up slightly as supply is down. I would say you could negotiate your way down and if not maybe look for another deal.
