ebay is pretty much the biggest waste of time for me...carmax didnt offer me shit for the thing. I just put it up on craigslist. Its posted on quite a few other forums. Cars.com and autotrader will probablly happen next weekend

dont forget that october-march are the dead months. also, if youre really trying to sell a car, you need to post it in as many places as possible. always give a price in your ad, do not post anything that is wrong with the car in the ad, you can wait for that when the buyer calls. keep it fair priced and list all positive things on the vehicle. (low mileage, under kbb, new transmission, great paint, etc.) also the more pictures the better. make sure theyre clear and show off the vehicle at its best.

And go to autotrader already. there isnt a better source when it comes to selling your vehicle than autotrader. dont wait.

perhaps for a 97...carmax offered me 9K. the dodge dealership offered me 13k, but only if i traded it in for some special charger that they only made 100 of.

the answer to this is simple. you haven't sold it because it's priced too high. This is a $12k retail piece. $9k wholesale.

yeeea i just finally looked at the for sale thread, not to bash thread but heres the skinny on it. it can be a 97 to a 2006 the only difference its gonna make is if its rubicon or not and the milage other than that no matter what year it is its a TJ and anyone looking for a jeep is gonna know that. your have what looks like minimal short arm lift and factory dana35 and dana30 diffs UNLOCKED. at best your lookin at 7-8k. i got my tj for 7k back in 01 at 70,000 miles that makes it mid milage and 4 years old at the time and yes thats modded and with more lift than your running. your jeep is 4 years old with less lift thats how people looking for jeeps are gonna see it

not oh shit its an 04 but....ok its a tj and its an x soooo you have a slightly better sterio than a sport. x has the option to go dana44 front an rear out the factory but you have to order it that way and you havny listed it so i would assume you dont have it. look into dropping a ls1 or hemi swap in it, switch the short arm to 5"" LA WITH SOME 35s and you might hit 9 ...maybe 10 or so cuz of the engine

just gonna have to face up and bite it. built rigs with after market cage 8.8 rears or better some kind of locker, winch, bumpers, sliders, lights, Slip yolk eliminators, and LONG ARM LIFTS 5"-6" with body lift go for what your askin or less even.


please dont take me for an asshole but someone who has sold TONS of fuggin vehicles
