Title: major jeep decision
Post by: gearhead1985B on December 08, 2011, 08:36:29 AM: ok i got a text from my buddy who has a cj6 runs drives and stops but the body is shot and he needs to sell it or trade it off but he needs some cash now and said i got first dibs at $2k cash or trade value we trade a lot of stuff back and forth i have tried to buy this cj6 a couple of times now and have laid cash in front of him but his wife said no cause he will not ever get another but they need money i know if i give him all 3 of my jeeps i will still need to give him some money i think i know what i am going to do just cause of the rarity of the cj6 there was only about 23000 produced and i have had the chance to buy several cj5's and cj2a's and i can buy 3-4 right now but don't need them

so should i save some money and get rid of some jeeps or just pony up the cash
