Seems high priced for the mileage. Seller claims no rust... Seeing is believing.

what in your opinion is fair, I can honestly say that if 2500 would buy it I would be happy...




but is it worth 3K, or is it only worth 2?




somewhere between?

Personally I would start around $2000. But what I am going on are the prices around my area in south Texas. A few years ago I paid $2300 for my 98 and it only had 83k on it. Plus it had a $3200 stereo system in it with the receipt for it. And mine was really clean, no rust.

I think it depends on your plans. High miles for a DD. If you are going to modify it, find one already modified for the same price. I agree, $2500 would be ok. Still, 200k is a lot of miles.

I just bought one very similar (but with only 150k), but I only paid $1500. Granted, it was a good friend and I had helped him find it and fix it up 3 years before for his daughter, so I got a good deal.
With that said, I would have been happy paying $2500 for it, which is what I told him to ask for when he first asked me about selling it. It definitely looks like an SE model, so you may not have power windows/locks/overhead console, etc. (if those things are at all anything you are interested in). With the mileage, I would start off by offering $2k and see where it goes.

Did they really put the Idiot gauges in the post 97s, I thought they realized that was stupid way before, latest I've seen with them was a 96.
As far as price look at what they go for in your area with less miles, when I got mine (120k) I traded it for my Jetta that had a KBB of 4,800, the jeep was 5,000

God I hate them, My G-ma has a 95 2wd with them and theyre basically useless, unless you need to see how much gas you have from a mile away lol. I wouldn't of gotten mine if it had them
