What would you sell it for?

[MindlessNinja]

First post, but I want to say thank you to this Forum as I read quite a bit about my Jeep TJ after I picked it up about a month ago.

I've read in multiple places this is a unicorn so to speak. I'm new to this all as it's my first Jeep. My question is, if you personally put it up for sale; what price would you put on it?

2006 Wrangler Unlimited
17,500 miles
7 speaker system
Chipped Keys

It had been covered under a tarp for about 16 years, under the cover of trees. I got it home and after a battery, oil change, fuel pump, injectors, and good fuel it started right up.

Since then I added a 2.5" lift, track bar, lug adapters, newer used Rubicon rims, headlights, turn signals, replacement speakers, wipers, spark plugs,

Everything works. It seems to run absolutely great. I have all the original parts, even the chrome Mopar grill cover I pulled off.

Thanks again for the posts/forum, it was helpful in working on this TJ.

To me? 1000$

To anyone else?

Price here is different than price there. Pick a number and ifitsells in 3 hours you asked too little. Pick another number and if it doesn't sell in 9 months you will need to pick another number.

A standard unlimited is not a unicorn, despite it having extremely low miles.

Agree with this. I'd try $20,000 and see how much interest you have in the rig. Those JL wheels hurt if prospective buyers are looking for an original rig.

 

[B1Toad]

Looks nice and I might be tempted to ask even more than $20K. One thing I would have rather seen though as a prospective buyer of a cream puff is all original, not someone else's mods. I understand though you probably did them with the thought of keeping it. BTW what is that parked behind it?

 

[MikeE024]

You can always drop the price if you list it too high.

If you have the time, there’s no harm is asking for closer to $27k or $30k even if you end up selling it for closer to $20k.

It doesn’t make sense to give it away, and $20k with that mileage seems too low for an initial asking price.

Here in CA I think he'd easily sell that thing for $20k, mileage that low is extremely rare.

Figure out what you want for it, then list it higher. When I bought my stock Rubicon, the guy listed it for $9800. I brought $9500 cash (the following morning) on a Sunday and got it. He had so many calls/emails that he said, "Damn, I guess I should have asked more for it." To which I replied, "Too late now."

Cannot beat the OEM factory look. Tj/lj rubis off the line look so damn good.

New Holland farm tractor.

Search on here to see what others sold for. Also FB marketplace is a good place to look for comp sales or for sale.
Need a few pics of underside and inside.

https://webejeeping.com/vehicles/jeep-lj These guys always have nice Jeeps and are not the lowest cost, good comp.
(They put premium on low miles evidently. TJ's)

Plus: LJ, low miles, auto ? looks great if you like black. Minus: no hardtop, black, some mods. Good luck. D

(any more than $20k is optimistic, but you never know)

 

[Chris]

20k, maybe. It’s not exactly rare, though the low miles help.

You’re picking an awful time to sell though with the economy being what it is.

Am I reading this right? It sat for 16 years outside under a tarp without being started or driven?

 

[TheBoogieman]

You bought your first Jeep a month ago and are already trying to figure out if you can get your money back?

 

[bucky]

Personally I would rather have a 100K+ Tj that was driven regularly than a 16.5K one that sat under a tarp for 16yrs. Too many parts that were not lubricated for all those years. Parts deteriorate over time not just miles.
There are a limited amount of people who have $20K to drop on a 19yr old vehicle. That being said you only need to find that one guy.
