:twisted: It's a recession, EVERYBODY is hard up for money and will gladly settle for less. Offer him 3500 and come up to 4000 if you need to:twisted: If he gets stubburn, let him know you see that PS leak and tell him you thought you heard it "pop" when he fired up like a valve job might be needed soon :twisted: Then tell him you wanted a GREEN one, (unless it IS green,then you want BLUE) and will have to re-paint.:twisted: Be willing to say "keep it":twisted:

HIHOOD x 2. With the rust you may even start at $3,000. Adding rocker covers isin't going to stop the rust. If the rust is bad, drop to $2,500.

What they said above, and what I have found living in different areas, Jeeps are regionally influenced, a heap of a jeep in one area may go for $2000 where in another the exact same jeep would pull $4000 so.... you may wanna check all the rags and see what a going price in your area may be then do what Hihood said...

Dude you can buy a late model YJ with FI for that. Don't get me wrong CJ's rule but not at that price.
