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.
