I have a 2001 durango 4x4 its in excellent condition and is fully loaded. Heated seats all that fun stuff. Im wanting a wrangler just to have something fun for daily driver. Had a guy offer me a 95 with 120k in excellent condition with 31 inch micket thompson tires that are literally like 3 months old. Its a 4 cyliner 5 speed and under the hood is dry as a bone no leaks. He has hard top, bikini top, soft top, full doors, half doors. Like I said its in excellent shape. My only thing is the back seats are so narrow and I need to fit a booster seat and a car seat which will just fit in the back of the 95. I think 97 and up have bigger back seats by like eight inches but havent been able to find someone with a decent one to trade. If I do this will I be able to sell it for more than 5500 if It doesnt work out cause if so it would be ok cause thats what I figure I can get outta the durango. Thanks for the help

A single car seat fit fine in my YJ, but Im not sure about adding a booster.

Both fit in my old yj it was tight, my tj gave me a little bit more room but not that much I'd go with the yj

You'd be hard pressed to get $5500 out of a 95 YJ with a 4 cylinder/5-speed.

I agree with trigger... 5500 for a 4cylinder is asking alot no matter how clean.

You could possibly get 5500 out of a YJ if it had quite a bit of work done to it. My gut feeling is that if it has 31" tires that it has not though. Now if he has gone to the trouble of putting dana 44/60 or ford 8.8 axles and maybe a Rubicon 4" lift and has upgraded to an AX-15 trans...then maybe you are talking

55 for a 4 banger that's not modded up is way high ! like said above . You would be better off to wait for one with a 4.0 . I will not have another wrangler with a 2.5 again, but thats just me .
