Asking $70,000 but will entertain your best off!!!!

Stock gears, open diffs?

I see ads like this, and I have to think the wife is nagging him to sell it. "I dunno, babe, I've got it listed. Just not getting many calls..."

[Nuts]

I see adds like this and think, holy **** I need to make jeep parts to sell to these idiots!

[kingchango]

i didnt know "Its a manual 6-speed Allison transmission."

[fordman00]

Probably runs on pixie dust to!

I think he's been snorting pixie dust.

Blue Book value only comes out to $23,000 for a stock '06 Rubicon with that mileage. Hmmmm, pretty sure you could do all of those "mods" and stay well under the $51k asking price But hey, it does have the ultra rare and expensive custom billet shifter knobs (which ironically are not in the pictures) and a dome light toggle switch.

Wonder if it's even a true Rubicon. If he bothers to list the custom glove box limiting straps you would think he would talk about the front and rear lockers also.

Haahah.

Amazingly it is still for Sale!!!! but the asking price is no...$51,000. You must have a follower, BlazerBrad. Still over-priced. Just because he invested it doesn't mean it raise the value an equal amount as anyone in a Motorsport hobby knows. And the JK went to the van 3.8, not the truck 3.7. I wonder how he found that Allison tranny to match the bolt pattern? Maybe this guy got taken buying this pile and is now just throwing out buzzwords to try to cut his loses?

Grand total of the listed mods? Drum roll please: $7,753. Plus stereo, of course, which was apparently about $23,000. Brave move in a soft top jeep. Even the spare shows wear. if those tires have 10K miles on them I would avoid buying Nitto's. I gave him new price credit but they look to have been bought used or taken off of another vehicle. That would deduct about $700 from the value IMHO

So...IF every dollar that you put into jeep accessories is returned to you and using the $23,000 figure This Jeep is worth at most $30,753. Yeah, I would take $70k ( or now $51k) for it, too.

You can bet 1 thing for sure, no service has contacted him to try to help em sell it after they seen what he is asking for it.

He probably doesn't even own a wrench and has $20k in shop labor receipts.
