    It makes me so happy to see her so enthused about this jeep. she begged me to take her around the block tonite....naturally i obliged. I will be a very happy dad if she digs cars like I do and esp jeeps. She loved my roadmaster wagon that i just sold but she is nuts over the jeep.
    thanks for the insight.... i feel better. I was going to consider this for parts

    It was on Pittsburgh CL. It was in portage pa (up by portersville). The early 5's seem to be few and far between but there are a plethora of intermediate 5's and 7's. to be honest...if this one wasnt so close to my house (and a tux) i probably wouldn't have even gone to look at it.

    If you want the parts Jeep, and can afford it, $1300 looks ok for what you are getting. Not a smoking deal, but ok. Running and driving counts for a lot, and unfinished projects always sell for a deep discount.

    The owner would get a lot more for this Jeep if he parted it, but most people don't want to deal with that. I'd offer maybe 60% or 70% of what he's asking, and see where it goes. People usually overprice their ads, so they have some room to bargain.
