1991 Jeep Wrangler – $2200 (Palatine)

This vehicle definitely looks its age, but at the same time, it does look solid.


This is a 6 cylinder 5 speed manual Jeep Wrangler and it has 167,000 miles on it. Four new 10.5 x 31 Goodyear Wrangler tires were placed on it in May 2009. There is an eight month old clutch, upgraded alternator, rekeyed ignition, new oil and filter, heavy duty black diamond plate plastic mats, in good condition, comes with a soft top, and it runs great.

At the same time, there are some negatives. The front ball joint makes a clicking noise, no back seat or passenger mirror, and there is obviously some rust.

Overall, it looks like a reliable solid vehicle; the positives overshadow the negatives, and I would easily take a gamble on it.
