What auction do they purchase their vehicles from?


Then check out the auction to see the condition the vehicles are brought in.

And don't ask them shit. Tell them what you'll pay and take it.

Ask nothin, because the only responses you get will be fabricated based upon what they think you want to here. I mean seriously, what do you honestly expect them to know about the history of a 11 year old vehicle?

Drive the vehicle. Perform your own visual inspection. If you like what you see, have it checked out by a mechanic you trust.

Do you have a mechanic you an bring it to? Trusted mechanic is best but even one out of the phonebook is probably better than none.

If anything is pisses the dealer off a little seeing they've probably been busting you balls since you got there.

If it has the 4.0L i wouldn't buy it esp in a truck that old. if it's equipped with the 4.7L with decent miles it would probably make you an ok truck...keep in mind you're buying an 11 year old vehicle, so imho i wouldn't go over $5k and for me to pay that it would have to be in VERY good condition...

Outside of the potential for a rear main seal that is likely seeping, the Jeep I6 is probably one of the most reliable gas engines on the planet.

Lolumad, get over it, the 4.0L is proven JUNK!...adio should kick your dept working ass if he lets you talk him into buying one with a 4.0L.. He'd be better off buying a Chevy suv with the 4.3L or a Ford suv with the 4.0L if he's looking for something reliable.
