The Official Status Update Thread: Part 51 - Moonraker

[jd4320t]

Maybe I'll scour the gun show coming up this month for one. What kind of prices should I be looking for used? Blythe's has a new one for $220 up here.

There was a good one (maybe 90%) sale on here a few weeks ago for $185. I was willing to pay $180 or so for one since I knew I could buy new for around $220.

I wonder what WalMart sales them for.

Last I heard about $218. Cabela's is $230.

spend a little less on a vehicle and then buy both as a reward for not blowing your vehicle money lol

I was reading about Rubicons the other day. Some guys say just buy a sport and add parts you want. You can save thousands. Just FYI

If I get this one I'm going to see tuesday, I'll probably have over a grand left even after tax, plates, and all that.

The rubicons started in 2003 and I'm looking for a >2002. From 03-06 they changed the auto trans and it's piece of junk.

I like it

 

[magic man]

At least from the pics it's everything I'm looking for. Full doors, soft top, red, new tires, lift, auto, cruise control, A/C. As long as it drives well and everything checks out mechanically I'll be coming home with it. I've contacted a dealership up there about doing an inspection.

 

[jd4320t]

good for you.

 

[magic man]

Thanks. Can't wait til Tuesday.

 

[jd4320t]
