Jeep is a 1998 Sahara package with just under 100K original miles on it. Oil
changed every 2K miles or better. Factory hard top with wiper and
defroster. Also has a OEM Jeep soft top. The soft top has tinted windows.
Full steel hard doors and another set of half doors. Rear security shelf.
ARB bumpers front and rear. The front is a winch bumper with a Warn 9000Ti
winch in it and a pair of LED off road lights and a set of clevis rings.
The rear ARB bumper features a swing-away gas charged spare tire carrier and
also has a Hi-Lift Jack mounted on it and clevis rings as well. There is a
2" receiver hitch built in. Under the hood is a bone stock HO 6 banger,
upgraded battery and K&N cold air intake. Underneath is a very mild lift
(I'm too old to have to climb up anymore) to allow 32" Good Year Wrangler
Kevlar tires. These are nearly new (still have rubber nipples on them) and
wrap around retro Hurricane/Turbo aluminum wheels that have been
professionally refinished and clear coated. These are impossible to find
these days. Matching spare on the back. The lift was professionally installed and done right to include
transfer case kit, replaced steering box and linkage, shocks, bushings,
trailing arms etc. Jeep rides and steers the way it should at all speeds.
Rear brakes were upgraded to Stainless Steel Brake Corporation (SSBC) Disc
Brakes which included a new master cylinder. The headlights were replaced
with TruckLite LED headlights. (They are stupid expensive, but ridiculously
bright) Inside retains the upgraded Sahara interior but the stereo was
replaced with a high end AM/FM/CD/DVD unit and set up for the iPhone/iPod.
It is also Bluetooth for hands free phone use. It is XM ready. I also have
some brand new OE Jeep stuff in the box like door panels, rubber weather
stripping etc. They're not available anywhere anymore, so when my dealer
found it, I grabbed it up. Everything goes with the Jeep. I also set it up
to be towed. It has a quick release tow bar and it is 4 flat wired for
lights. This Jeep turns heads everywhere it goes. It was done tastefully
with an eye towards functionality. It's never been driven in the snow, so
there is no rust anywhere.


I have pictures I ca text or email. I can be reached at rcpd34@comcast.net or at 301-370-8883. I'm in the MD/DC/VA area.

Did a really quick look up on Kelly Blue book for an excellent condition Jeep Wrangler, Manual Transmission, Sahara package. Max price is $8036. Not sure you will find anyone who's going to part with a 2003 or higher 230 for anything close to that. But perhaps I'm missing something about your Jeep.

I am in Maryland and a 2007 AR 230 Ho is going for around 18,000 to 20, 000. Now maybe a 2010 Jeep would be a trade. you would have to throw a lot on money on top of that Jeep to make a deal.

Well over $20K in Jeep. Now I am realistic and kow that will never be recovered, but a barter value of around $15K is reasonable. So far, I've had two people very interested. One was unable to come up with the cash to pay off his note (wasn't really that much) and the other is still considering. I have no problem adding cash to a viable deal. Thanks for the input.

I never understood the trade??? Its like the stock market where one person wins and the other loses. I am not saying that I don't like the stocks. I am saying that I would not trade something versus sell it outright and go get yourself what you want. I just sold that jeep and it would not get me a 23' anything.

I do like that jeep and I am sure it is every bit of 4x15mph
