Some advice on finding an MJ

[bigalpha]

I have a tentative offer to sell my Ranger for $2k.

My goal is to to get a DD MJ.

I haven't found one recently that's within my budget (~$2k). It's gotta be ready to go for a DD (no rust is a major plus).

So, any tips on finding a decent MJ? Anyone know of one ready to DD around this area?

TIA.

I did find one on CL in Nashville listed for $3500. It just seems ridiculously overpriced for a 1990 (nothing fancy, either).

I dont know if this helps or is still for sale but I saw this on Craiglist. Its not mine and I know nothing about it. Worth a look for ya.

There is no such thing as an 85 comanche, and the straight six wasn't around until 87.

Yeah I know there was alot about ad that didnt add up. But like I said I didnt call or anything and just threw it out there incase he wanted to look into it.

Gig A. Good Luck. People that have MJ's generaly know they were only made from 87 -92. A good mj will fetch 2K easy. At least that has been my experience.

Try www.comancheclub.com they are always for sale on there.

Good luck finding a nice MJ for <$2000

Yeah, I tried CC but there was nothing on it around me.

I had to look for mine. A while. I do finally have a power steering setup for it.

I was seriously toying with selling it a while back but I think I worked finances out to where I can keep it without eating Ramen for a prolonged period of time.

I bought mine for $400 and it was in nice shape and ran good. I have bought 3 MJ for less than $500 each. They can be hard to find but they are not worth more than $2000, unless it is a low mileage, perfect condition 91-92 barn find.

That must be nice. Even 'decent' MJs, people ask way too much, IMO.

There are 5 of them on the ATL Craigslist.

That's quite a drive for me from Clarksville, unfortunately.

I guess you really don't want one then.

I drove from GA to PA to get my first MJ. 12 hrs each way! But it was worth it for me to finally get my hands on one.

It is only a few hours each way. Make a weekend family trip out of it. Swing by the fish pond in ATL or go to a ball game that night.

Unfortunately, I don't have any free weekends this month, so I can't make a weekend trip out of it.

So, at this point, it's too far of a drive from Clarksville.

 

[wolfpackjeeper]

I drove a solid 30min to get mine. Each way!!

 

[bigalpha]

That'd be nice. There's one for sale in nashville, but I doubt I can talk the guy out of $1800.

Both 2wd, details were pretty vague, but might be worth a look.

I had a few minutes to kill so looked for it.

Thanks.

I just sold my truck for $2200. I have $$ burning a hole in my pocket! So, my budget'll be around $2k or so.
