Thoughts on this used 392?

[ENDVR]

I have regretted selling my Wrangler everyday since I sold in 10/2022 and I have been looking lately and a 392 would be my ideal Jeep and these prices for new 24 Rubicon X's are crazy. Anyway what do you think about this used 392 below?

Looks like a fine deal to me.
And it’s sting, the best color imo.

Fair / good price

Not a bad price. I guess the dealership does not know how to wash a Jeep. I would never take pics of a filthy vehicle and list it for sale. The pic from the rear shows the muffler/tail pipes all out of whack. As dirty as the engine compartment is you can tell it has been off road. I would want to take a look underneath first.

fair price. its not an XR, so that means no 35's stock and no 4.56 gears.

Looks good but dirty

Worth a look. That wonky exhaust looks like the scraped something. Funny how dirty since these are the pics used to sell a vehicle. My 2019 is nowhere as nasty under the hood. Elvis radio? So was the owner or the guy at the dealer taking pics an old fart? I can say that since my wife is an Elvis fan and we're old.

Thanks for the input. I am not sure why you would post dirty pics either. I wasn't sure about the exhaust or if it was just an optical illusion.

About $10-12K under original MSRP that they have recently been typically going for about. Definitely worth a close look.
the exhaust looks slanted and I don’t see left tips- just get AWE that tucks up nicely eliminating the low hanging stock one…. It will pull 35’s effortlessly especially if light ones, 4.56’s are nice but not needed.

A few people have already commented on the exhaust not looking right…

Had the crooked muffler from the factory on my ‘21. It’s a common complaint on the 392 forums…easily fixed by adjusting one off the muffler’s hangers.

Even straight it’s ugly…painted mine black with high heat spray.

Exhaust may be crooked from a rear impact. Check for any rear frame damage, overspray, signs of body work.

just curious and not looking to derail this… do all anti-theft lug nuts extend so much outwards as the one in the very last pic?

No- those look like the Mopar ones mine came with, designed for easy vice-grip removal. I threw them away and got a McGard full set with locks

Have you been able to physically inspect the Jeep? I would ask one salesperson why it was traded in and possibly find another salesperson and see if the story matches, for what it`s worth. Carfax or any other information that you can get, but not everyone has their insurance company fix it for them so there are a lot of owners who will fix it and it`s never reported. Water or signs of it being in a flood is something else I would check for, like unusual rust on nuts/bolts that should not have any due to the location.
I would just take my time and really pay attention to how it drives and if it pulls left or right when you hit the brakes. I mean there are hundreds of things you could check and first look for the obvious, gaps on all the doors, hood, tailgate. Any sign of screws being removed and leaving whiteness marks from where they were originally at. Make sure that you can have them put it up on a lift for you and bring a good flashlight and a small extendable mirror so you can really see the hard to reach places. I had bought a RIDGID color flexible luminated scope a while back and it has saved my ass when dropping a nut,bolt or any part that automatically goes to never-never land.
What about the warrantee? is it transferable and can you extend it, I think Zach would be able to help you out on that one. I would think that there would be service records available for it considering it`s not a basic Wrangler.
