Finally saw a new listing in the Autotrader website. Luckily, I had the day off today. I was so confident that I would buy this Jeep, I took the Amtrak up to L.A., then the subway to Sequoia's office. Then we went to look at the Jeep a few minutes away.
It's a white 98 SE 2-door 4WD with 119K miles. It was a former Edison vehicle. It was pretty clean with only minor things wrong, like a missing AC vent. And the trackbar is a little loose. Clean engine and tranny with none of the inherent XJ leaks (yet).
Thanks to Sequoia's smooth talking and considerable acting skills, I was able to get the Jeep for $2800.
Plus, I'll be able to sell the HP D30, 29-spline 8.25, and 231 t-case to offset the cost even more.
It drove very smoothly on the way home. But I did find out that the driver's seat is broken and squeaks quite a bit. Can you say Mastercraft?
Anyway, I'm excited to have a new Jeep. Thanks to everyone who sent me potential leads. And special thanks to Sequoia.
Let the insanity begin!
