Dont do it

I just drove 9 1/2 hours one way yesterday to purchase this jeep. Come to find when you crawl under the jeep and look up all you see is holes in the unibody. Specifically there is a hole in the rocker area of the driver's side approximately 2 feet long. The pics Jared sent me did not show this damage, they only showed the better areas of the unibody. Also he agreed to take $4200 from me prior to me seeing the vehicle in persom so dont give him the $4800 he is asking for. He will at least come down to $4200. And that is if you want to buy a vehicle that will probaby break in half when you are off roading. Like I said I drove 9 1/2 hrs one way with $4200 in cash in hand with all intentions to purchase this jeep but had to walk away. Also it appears as though the rear main seal is also leaking.

On a good note the jeep did drive pretty good, the 4wheel drive worked well, the tires are in basically new shape and the interior isnt bad. But there is alot of rust on this vehicle and for sure structural stability questions. Just make sure you look at this jeep before you pull the trigger and hand Jared any money. He should be asking for $2500 for the parts on the jeep and run the rest into the Lake. Just sayin.
