Have a chance to buy a 2008 jk rubicon with 32,000 miles ,six speed soft top. A/c ,power windows,Needs tires,and has been beet up a little on the inside from owners dog. The outside has some small dings and scratches from some offloading.
Would you pay 19,000 for a jeep like this or pass?I intend to lift the jeep and put 35-37 under it.

Good luck
