Before you send me an email asking me for my "best price, bottom-line or asking price" let me just make a suggestion based on 36 years of buying and selling experiences. Deals are made through conversations, not texting, not emailing or conversations without even knowing who or what you are talking to, they happen through personal contact. I want my my clients to know who they are trying to make a deal with. I want to know their real intent to buy also. This equation does not exist with "What's your best price?" and no personal contact. I have gone to great lengths to find this incredible vehicle, make sure it's the best it can be for you and present it in a way that no other seller does online. I do that so we can talk, make a clear deal, fair for both sides and watch a happy buyer enjoy their new ride. If you just don't have the gumption to make contact and you just want an idea of price, look at what the market values posted above say, they are fairly accurate on AVERAGE vehicles across the US. If you think this vehicle is average, above or below, bid accordingly or. . . pick up the phone and have a pleasant conversation with a real enthusiast that can make your deal on the spot. Keeping it real.

Take a very good look at this seriously beautiful 1987 Jeep Wrangler 4.2 liter 6-cylinder and manual transmission. Rare is the time when I find one like this and when I do, it takes about three second to make a decision to own it. But that's me, been doing this for about 30 years now. Let's talk about you and this Jeep though. You are here because you are looking for a deal, but more than that, you are looking for a Jeep Wrangler YJ that hasn't been beat, modified or trashed. Maybe you are planning to put one of your kids in it or you want to buy one that has been treated like you treat your own cars. You've looked at local Jeeps and been disgusted at how rough they are and they look like they only have months to live without gouging your wallet. So you're on the internet, eBay trying to find the needle in the haystack. Well, you found it. You also found a dealer that is more of an enthusiast for prime rides and classic cars than he is a "dealer". This is what I do every day for the last thirty years (29 to be exact). I love finding vehicles that are off the charts better than anything you will ever find anywhere else. That's also why I market exclusively on eBay. This seems like it is the last resort for most people, I wish it wasn't but eBay has created that reputation. Here it is. This Jeep is worth your study. I'll be telling you more, lots more below and I back it up with high resolution pictures and a great eBay reputation so you can feel confident in bidding or even better calling me and just making a deal. So read on, look closely, you'll be able to and see the quality of this Jeep and the seller that does our best to provide Remarkable vehicles.
A very important aspect to buying a used vehicle is the assurance that the vehicle is mechanically sound, cosmetically in a condition demonstrating proper care and maintenance. I see thousands of vehicles at local auctions weekly, roughly 2500 to 3500 vehicles run across local auction blocks. Most are newer rental and lease returns but only about 10% are older local trade ins. Some dealers (Carmax for example) have policies that they do not keep vehicles that are in excess of 9 years old. No matter how nice, how low miles, how perfect their condition, they run them through the dealer only auction. It is these cars and trucks that I hunt for. After thirty years professionally appraising cars, I have a spotters eye for extreme quality. I know when I see a repaint, a rebuild or a uncared for vehicle. They stand with the masses. Vehicles like this Jeep though, shine like superstars in a sea of garbage. One disadvantage to quality, it doesn't come cheap. Everyone at the auction wants it too, but we all know we are in business and have to make a profit to stay in business so we are not stupid in how much we pay. It just means that with quality comes a premium price to a distinguished buyer that knows they want the best they can find . . .
Finding a Jeep that has been serviced, regularly cared for and needs no apparent issues handled is just what this Jeep Wrangler is all about. We thoroughly inspect our units with trained technicians that look for issues to resolve if needed and also look for previous maintenances already performed. That is just as important as anything, knowing how to see previous care. This unit needs nothing but a discerning buyer that want the very best they can find. This Jeep has all the goodies a YJ could have too; Power steering, power front disc brakes, tilt, cd/stereo and full size spare on matching wheel . . .
Original Paint (Never Painted) Black rubber and bumpers look stunning without dry rot or cracks . . .
Amazing to me that the paint is so nice after nearly 30 years...seriously...it's unheard of with Jeeps to look this nice and still be all original...not to mention the rubber molding is in incredible shape and unmarred.
Although the paint is seriously nice for original, it has plenty of small rock chips on the front. You will be able to see them in the close up pictures below.
No accident history, tires have deep tread, everything works, nothing is broken . . .
Two speed transfer case, Dana 30 (front) Dana 35 (rear) axles, beefy skid plates and off-road tires keeps this gently owned YJ in the hunt no matter how rough the trail gets. Removable Soft top, doors and fold-down windshield are traditional Jeep favorites and a great stereo, this Wrangler is civilized for every day duty. Well taken care of, very few dings and small dents to be found and the right color too, this is the Jeep for you.
Full Size Spare, everywhere you look she's really spectacular for 30 years old, from top to the bottom, you'll be impressed. ..
Interior is all original and stunning to say the least and the sport wrapped steering wheel, tilt, cd/stereo and carpeted floor . . .
The only interior flaw is on the driver's entry side of the seat where the vinyl cracked...and that could even be replaced for under $150
Seats slide/tilt forward for easy rear seat access . . .
5 Speed Manual for Great Off Road Use. . .and great gas mileage too.
Miles are super low for a 30 year old Jeep . . . that's only about 5000 miles per year.
Jeep Material on the seats are all original. . .
Jeep didn't put this nice Kenwood CD/MP3 Stereo in, but what a bonus and has a remote too
4.2 LiterIn-Line 6-Cylinder Engine
112horsepower @ 3,000/210 ft-lb torque @ 3,000 RPM
All original under here too. We also serviced it, replace the valve cover gasket and gave it a tune up. Runs great.
Just don't expect a powerhouse like the new Jeeps, 112hp is only what they had back in 1987. They are not race cars but they will torque up a hill with the best of them.
Clean and perfect . . .No leaks or damage under here

We decided to really give this Jeep a thorough detail and when we removed the interior, it was absolutely unreal to see the original floors in near flawless condition. ZERO RUST anywhere and looking like brand new. As a desert western Jeep, it has not been beat whatsoever. Really a stunner.

A note from the owner.
I am a "used car dealer" but before that, I'm an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I've been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I've discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average,exceptionalvehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won't do much for you either and I would soon be out of business.
With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a "dealership" like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner ofA-Best Auto Repairin Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fixanything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly "right" will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unlesshethinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction.
After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I've developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I've converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives.
Usually, I'll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it's a fast car, we film it going fast. If it's a 4x4 you'll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many "dealers" will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? Wedo.
No "dealer," on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and Ineedglowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it.
If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you'll find me the most accommodating business partner you've ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or "what is my bottom line" I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find - a number we both know will not buy the car so, don't waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a "used car dealer.â€
Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number.
If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. Imustsell at that number.
