I have a bead on a 88 Wrangler. Owner is asking $2500.
I figure either my son/daughter drives it or i flip it.
This is the same engine as my Cherokee. I guess i kinda know what to look for here.
There is some rust. Owner says its surface rust on the floor pans etc, with a small hole in one. Says frame is good, but we are close to the shore.
I'll look at it tomorrow.
anybody have any tips on what to consider? Or what they think of the price?
1982 Cherokee, base (Bumppo)
AMC 258 / A727 - AMC 20 / NP208
Holley Sniper with Hyperspark

It needs a new exhaust manifold. can see some missing gasket and exhaust puffing thru. it ooes have the 258. I havent figured out the trans yet.
New brake system, except for master cylinder
New exhaust (see above)
New battery
New tires
Everything is working.
Included hard top, softop, and bimini top
Some rust - doesnt appear to horrible. didnt beat on the frame with a hammer but tried to scrub it with a gloved hand to see how flaky it was. Seems solid. Will inspect it more soon.
All Fenders and tailgate were replaced, but the tub looks original. For that price seems like a no brainer, even if it turns out there is some metal/frame repair needed.

Sounds like a good deal. The exhaust manifold had no gaskets from the factory. Bare iron on bare iron. Add a typical composition exhaust manifold gasket and they tend to blow out. The escaping exhaust gas will eventually erode the manifold and head surface. Used to be that O2 on the back side of the exhaust valves lead to burnt exhaust valves, though in modern times with air injection, I wonder if that's much of a concern.
