I'm looking at buying a Jeep Wrangler Sahara edition has a hundred and forty thousand miles on it power windows door locks CD player wheels and tires are new brush guard from bumper and swing out spare tire rack. guy is asking $16,800 what are the thoughts? I would say the Jeep is above average overall.

What year is it and what options does it have? (leather, auto vs. manual, etc...)

Hopefully the picture shows the description.

What does KBB say as far as the price for your area?

 

[Capt. B]

$14.5k. The mileage kills it. It fits have new wheels and tires, paid $2k for. The reason he's selling is that his commute went from 8 miles/one way/per day to 30 and well you know it isn't a high mileage rig.

I'm thinking about going no higher than $15.5.

That still seems high to me.... just too many miles for my liking. Depending on what lift it has it might not ride very well

Agree, could have a crap lift and drive like a pos. it has been listed for 24 days for a reason. 140k on a lifted Jeep could be very hard miles.

Does it burn oil?

Kelley Blue Book - New & Used Car Price Values says $10,100-$11,500 depending on condition locally in a private sale. It might bring $14,000 on a dealers lot.

with that many miles, it has to be a 3.8. and being a 3.8 it is probably on the 2nd motor or getting close.

I would spend a couple thousand more and get one with half as many miles.

Take it for a test drive. If it rides nice and seems to run good I'd go for $15,000. You'll likely need to rebuild the engine in the next couple of years and of course the transmission. Still could be a nice rig tho if you plan on keeping it for several years.

Might be a candidate for a V8 swap....

This is good advice!

140k miles for $16k are you serious ? Run run away as fast as you can. Go get a brand new stripped 2 door for $24k and take the money that you would have kept spending to keep that wore out one running and build the new one the way you want it.

Boggles my mind what used Jeep Wranglers with major mileage go for. Rather do new with a Warrenty.

I have never seen a Sahara with unpainted fender flares.

I wouldn't pay $12,000 for that Jeep. Way too many miles. And even many more than showing if he didn't recalibrate the speedo after lift. Could be closer to 200,000. Many many more choices out there.

Didn't know that about recalibration after a lift. One hell of a educational forum.
