Being in Illinois, you need to post pictures of the frame as that is going to have the highest impact on your value.

Lots of vehicles from that area are Salty Dogs and the frames are shot.

Thank you! I’ll try to get some good pictures of the frame. Anywhere specific or just some pictures of the frame?

I suggest selling those half doors separately. If the doors are rust free and in good condition you can easily get $700.

Once you post pics of the frame we can give you a more accurate valuation assessment.

Low mileage and solid frame. I would list at $15,500. X is the lowest trim but most prospective buyers will have no clue and will focus on mileage.

Is that $15,500 without the doors (to sell them separately) like you mentioned or as is?

 

[Duck Doctor]

$15,500 as an asking price and sell doors separately. I think $14,500 would be the lowest acceptable price

 

[Rut Row]

$15K in CA may not correlate to IL. Look in the want ads for your area for a similar Jeep and work from there.

Do you have the full doors? It would be a hard sell if you offer it with no doors.

Definitely do some local research.

I would def do my research on what your local market would support. That's over priced in my area. I paid 10k for mine with a frame that I think is in much better condition. But if your local area will support that price, then that is what you should sell it at. It can be tricky, becuase sometimes you can get a higher price from a buyer willing to travel, but then you have to spend more time waiting for that buyer.

In my mind, right now the TJ market is either going to be enthusiast or people who want a cheap Jeep who couldn't finance a JK and have some cash.

Compare prices in your area. That frame looks mint for Illinois. TJ prices are at an all-time low where I live.

 

[Chris]

15k in this market? Maybe if you get lucky.

that might be due to the neighbors. I wonder if you moved if the prices would go up?

 

[BlueC]

In my current market, similar Jeeps are listed around $10K.

 

[DuckNut]

That is a 12k TJ here in sunny salt free FL.

Post it for sale high in some of the wealthy hoods surrounding the city...lots of rich kids heading to college.

 

[MBDIAGMAN]

I just paid $10K for a completely rust free, well modified, albeit high mileage, ‘05 in marvelous condition. Before buying it locally I was shopping nationwide and there didn’t seem to be a significant difference between different locales.

That's exactly what I do when I sell a Jeep. University of Virginia is a couple miles away. Lots of wealthy, out of state parents roaming around.

You live too close to @TheBoogieman ...
