Sold the Jeep

[mingez]

Sold the TJ.

I know I've cried wolf on this a few times, but I really did sell it this time.

I've purchased an 02 Saab 9-5, and I love it. The thing drives like no other car I've ever driven, dare I say "amazing." But that's not what I wanted to talk about.

I'm going to sell the economy Miata for another 4x4. Obviously, I'm considering a Jeep again. (I'm thinking I want an XJ, to get back to my roots)

Here's the thing. I need something that I can haul stuff in, so SWB are not what I'm looking at. XJ's, Commanches, Scramblers are what I'm thinking about. It's also going to be a beater that I can muck up if I need to.

Other possibility is a Yota, and before I hear all of the hisses, I'm leaning XJ, above all else. (even tho I still contend my 1988 Toyota PU is the most reliable auto I've EVER owned.)

Any input?

I really didn't want to hear a Saab story first thing in the morning :shock:

I say get a Jeep, and it's high time you found yourself a YJ. Hauling stuff is simple and they're cheap as hell to mod and repair. You want to haul junk? Get a trailer for it

A saab? I hope you don't have the same problems my brother and father had. They both had an '06, both cars ended up needing a new engine and trans. I guess that gen of saabs the engines weren't saab engines. Dunno if yours is in that group. Don't get me wrong they are great... I had a 1986 900, I sold it at 252k miles, all I replaced was a water pump when I had it and it got 400 miles to the tank. Wish I still had it. To answer your question...
XJ!
or
FJ!

So that's where you been lately, huh? www.toyotaz.com :lol:

Well, you can still hang here if you buy a yota. I guess. We might have to take a vote on it. Oh, wait. You still have the Surrey, right? That counts, you can stay. :lol:

Yeah, I never really felt "Attached" to the TJ. I LOVE the 9-5, it's money! I can't believe how smooth that car is.

I can't get a trailer, I have an Apt. No garage, and no way to secure the trailer on the street. (besides, street parking a trailer is illegal)

Yeah, those are the GM engines. I'm assuming they had the 6? I have the Saab designed but GM manufactured turbo I4. It's a beaut!

I'm leaning toward another XJ. I might even be able to get 'Ole Six Pack back!

Ha! I almost...ALMOST bought a FJ80 Landcruiser.

But like I said, I'm gonna try and convince the guy I sold my XJ to sell her back to me for less. We'll see how that goes. He upgraded the SYE on it to a Rubicon Express SYE. Dunno why tho.

Ooooo, that's what I'm talkin' about. :twisted:

 

[dingus]

don't get me wrong, i'm totally in love with my '94 XJ, but I'd get a 4runner or tacoma...

...and wouldn't look back. Can't go wrong either way.

Any reply from 6 pack's current owner? You really should buy her back. You need her. She needs you.

Yeah, I don't think he's interested and thee type of $ I'm willing to pay. He's crazy...

He's got her listed at 6000 :shock: .

The only difference between how she was when I sold her vs. how she is now is that he put a new RE SYE on her. He's a good guy, but he's smoking something if he thinks he's getting 6K.
