Anything to look out for ?

Price too high (not according to KBB) ?

I am thinking about buying this and driving it back to Houston, about

1,000 miles.

Thanks, Lynn

Looks to be only a rear wheel drive. But if that isn't an issue then the only thing I'd want to see is more of the engine and know if/when the clutch has been serviced.

I have no direct experience with 06 wrangler, but a few general things....

Checkout Edmunds for pricing also, provides another data point.

Does it have a clear title?

Any body work?

How many previous owners? (I prefer one owner.)

Condition of tires (esp. if original--might be getting close to replacement) Are they all the same manufacturer? I like all tires to match, esp with those miles.

Has all fluids been changed?

probably more...but cant think of anything else right now.

It is 4WD per the Ad.

I just got an 08 Rubicon, 6 speed manual with 31K miles for 22K in Tulsa. A lot closer and plenty of Jeeps for sale. Might check it out. There is also a couple of Jeeps I found on the Internet in Grapevine, TX that are pretty good deals.

What got me was the description and no mention of xfr case type. Drive Type 4 wheel drive - rear

Sounds a bit high to me but I haven't really looked lately. That's about what one I saw last fall was asking but that Colorado at the beginning of the snow season.

I've bought too many used machines to trust any of them on a long road trip w/o at least a week or two to wring it out, change all the fluids, etc. I hate walking.

Nice price ! I am looking for a specific vehicle though and am somewhat limited on sources. I want a 2005-6 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, soft top, yellow, I6 and manual.

If you're searching for a specific vehicle, you gotta do what you gotta do. If you find it, buy it!

Good luck Mike

Don't know why my name changed? Mike

I got a laugh when one of the listings said "Outstanding fuel efficiency for an SUV". The use of the word "outstanding" is a bit over the top. A wrangler is anything but fuel efficient. I can get much better gas mileage from my 01 grand cherokee with a 4.7L v8 and five speed auto than I do with my 98 cherokee with a inline 6. My 99 wrangler with 4 cylinders was not any better than the cherokee. Simply put you don't buy a wrangler for fuel efficiency.
