Hey guys,
A friend of mine is selling her 2013 JK Sport, in Billet Silver. It has about 80,000 miles on it. 3.6L engine, automatic trans.
When I asked what she wanted for it, she told me about $4,000. I plan to visit this weekend and take it for a test drive, and she's also taking it in to a garage to get it checked out. From what I know, and what I've seen, it has a few dents, mostly on the plastic bumper; one of the lights is missing from the front bumper; the soft top seems to have a tear or opening in at least one place; the front right fender is pretty torn up and needs to be replaced. Also I'm fairly certain that the tires will need to be replaced soon, though that's convenient as I'd upgrade anyway.
She said the jK was in 1 accident, but there was no damage.
I'll update this thread with some photos as she sends them, as well as my thoughts after I drive it.
However, as I've never bought a used Jeep before, what are some things I should watch out for, particularly with this year? It's an early 2013 model, pretty bare-bones Sport with manual windows and locks. Is it a good deal? I know the used market is crazy and I expected a JK to be selling for more.
If it's a sound vehicle, I'd like to take it on as a project and put a few thousand into upgrading it - wheels, tires, lift, bumpers, fenders, new top . . . any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!
