it's used, but new to us....
It's a 2002 Wrangler X
6 cylinder
5 speed
A/C
It's Maroon with black interior....
71,000 miles
we decided to sell our motorcycles and buy something that had multi uses...
My wife is presently using it for getting to and from work (she's a HOME HEALTH Nurse)... Some of her visits will be much easier now... We live in the middle of no where and some of her patients live even deeper in the middle of nowhere than we do...
The Jeep was purchased sight un-seen off Ebay (other than pics)... It was from a dealer in Rockford, IL (3.5 hour drive - one way)... When we arrived to pick it up, it was late in the day... so, I didn't check it over nearly as much as I should have...
There were a number of small things wrong and ended up being a couple of bigger things wrong too...
- A/C - low & high fan only - resistor
- broken A/C vent
- check engine light - came on as I was heading out of town... (o2 sensor)
- felt darty... broken sway bar links
- 1 distorted rim (couldn't true it up) and one completely bent rim (spare) - Ebay & found 2 good used rims...
- 1 deep gouge in the right rear tire & spare was complete JUNK (had 31 10.50 15 when we bought it) for what it was going to cost to replace the 2 bad tires, I decided to replace all 5 tires... but in the $$$ game, it was cheaper to go down to a 235 75R15 tire...
- various gaskets & door light switches & underdash lights
there are no intentions to go off-roading... it will be great to have when the weather isn't nice out...
presently, I have replaced several items and have a few more to track down...
One thing we'd like to add is some step bumpers, but there isn't a big hurry on that...
And sometime before winter... a set of fog lights....
My wife loves it!
My girls love it!
I love it!
Honestly, for what I paid for our Jeep - I haven't been hurt.
It's not perfect, but it's ours!!!!
