We wasted a trip up to eureka from Kalispell to check out two jeeps.
The yellow one wouldn't start, even after he jumped the battery. He insisted it was just a bad battery, but it's not. He gives us the "that's never happened before" line. After returning from a test drive of the blue Jeep, he told us the yellow one is "purring" now. No, we don't want to test drive it. Later that day, I found this exact same jeep as a "sold" listing on FB - sold on FB for $9500, and now they're asking $11,995.
The blue jeep has a leak in the soft top (you can see light through the unraveling seam, and the seat and center console are wet). That's at least a grand to replace. There's a strong burning smell coming from what we guess is the brakes.
He mentioned he gets some of his vehicles from Don K - basically he takes their rejects. read more
