Default Who's jeep did I buy?

I recently got a Black 07 Jeep Rubicon, 2 door, Soft top, from an auction in Bay Area, California. It looks like there were a bunch of mods on it before and where taken off and original stuff put back on. Would be interesting to know some history about it....

I'm at work and can't post pics right now, will post them as soon as i can. Didn't think there where that many used 07 two door black rubicons sold in the sf bay area lately.
for the mods, it looks like a lot of stuff has been taken off, missing some screws, bolts, both on inside and outside. Missing small parts here and there.

it's the same as buying it from the dealer, except i actually know the dealer. the car was still sold to me by that dealership with all the taxes paid and everything. You can go to any dealership and tell them the car u want and they will look at the actions for you, buy it for u and sell it to u. Nothing "no no" about it.
