Those bastards.
If I fix it, it should keep running for a while
It's getting to be that age where it's more likely to break down. So, that's something to really consider when you do decide to invest more money in a car.
Also, you could buy the Jeep and spend a few weekends and a grand on it. You could then sell it for $45k - ish... I'd say you can realistically expect somewhere between 38k and 43k if you want a quick sale. That's after reviewing some others and checking the condition.
The key is to use ONLY parts that can be bolted on and removed. That way the next owner has the option to return it to stock condition.
The value of the modifications is really not that much - not nearly what you pay for them - but they sell quicker.
So, in other words, you could sell it sooner for $40k because it looks good as opposed to selling it for $43k but taking a few months. You are loosing everything you invested extra - but selling it faster. People who pay more generally want stock condition. It just takes longer to find a buyer for that.
You could make a good chunk of change just by taking it off my hands so that I can have my guys do more useful stuff.
If I had 40 grand my car would be repaired already
If you had 23 grand you could buy a Jeep!
Then you have 40 grand! Well, 17 grand... Probably more like 14 grand after all the expenses.
That's a pretty decent profit for a few weekends of work.
And that'd give you plenty of money to fix your Jag!!!
See? It all makes sense! (The expenses include flying to Maine to drive it back to your house.)
It makes perfectly good sense I tell ya! Perfectly good sense!
Hmm... Maybe a cheap Jag will show up at the auction. I'm so excited for the auction. It's a huge auction. I won't even be able to watch it all, 'cause it conflicts with my schedule some of the time.
I'll share link(s) to watch it with me, if you're up to it now and then. Just like I've done in the past.
