I emailed him asking why selling so cheap:


Hi,
I apologize for the delay. I was busy. The Jeep is still for sale. The vehicle was listed on autotrader. My selling price is $18,000. The price is low because I have to sell the car very quickly. I must sell the car because I have a serious financial problem and the sale of my jeep is the last solution. I have a clean CARFAX report and I can send it to you. Also, I can send you the pictures and more details too. Just let me know if you are still interested.
Where are you located?

Anthony

I'm gonna walk away unless any of you make a good point to check it out, it's 5 hour drive away from me so I don't want to waste my time going out there.

All i can say is WOW, Thats hard to believe. Make double sure you check the vin and the carfax report, No strange stuff like flood damage.

Could someone be that desperate? I doubt it, it would be sold if it was real. IMO. There is a ph# you can call.

Bs, bs, bs, bs, bs. If he was really in desperate to sell it, Carmax would give him more than 18k.

Def a scam. Wonder if it's the same person that was trying to sell that '04 Viper for like $15k.

Also, the pics of the front of the Jeep look to have the '06-'07 headlamps and not the '08.

Uh oh. I'm in the crosshairs of bridam! :eek:;) The interior pics are def from the '08 model and the front exterior pics do not look '08 to me. Did they make any '08's with the previous headlamps? All the '08 models I've seen have that triangular shape. I do see the lip under the headlamp too like in the '08 models. Weird.

And I was wearing my glasses! :eek::D

Ah hah. I see it just fine. Looks just like my 08. But, have no fear, I just went to the doc and they told me that I'm going blind too. Getting old sucks.

I will clear it up for you. You are letting the NON Hid's confuse you. The Hid's were an option on the 08 thus not all have that type of lens.;) It is an 08 front end.

Gotcha! I thought the hids were standard on the '08 model.

Just the good ones. I now understand what you were talking about and they are different from mine. I thought you were talking about the amber curling around the front. I better get those glasses soon!

ROR! When you chimed in I had to take another close look at it. Then I was beginning to wonder if I was seeing it incorrectly. I knew I wasn't crazy! :eek::D

Anyway, sorry everyone. This thread has gotten way too much play. DIE THREAD ABOUT ANOTHER CAR FOR SALE SCAM! DIE!!! :D:D

No way. Anyone that hopes for even a split second that someone would take the time to take out an autotrader ad just to lose 30 to 40% of what they could get just by going to carmax, deserves to waste their time.
