RobSinclair Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 My buddy Nate wants to go look at this jeep. What do you guys think? http://novascotia.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-2003-Lifted-Jeep-TJ-LOW-KMS-W0QQAdIdZ529117378 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSinclair Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Also what do you think it is likely to get MPG wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 It's a nice Jeep, and works well...Alot of coin though, but it is trail ready B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomWood Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 You do not buy a jeep and ask about MPG, that just means its not the vehicle for you lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Given the year, mileage, and presumably no rust if it was sprayed annualy, and assuming no noticable dents and other issues, I think it is a nice rig! The pictures are awful small......... What I don't understand is the thread title! Are you telling me I'm an A** hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I only have 2 pics of that Jeep from a couple years ago, one at a distance and one with the sun making it not great. I can say that it is well done, and has been well taken care of, if it is still the same owner as when I wheeled with it. He has owned it since Feb. 2011.

littlered Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 we are all a@#$$ holes in here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 we are all a@#$$ holes in here And that's why we all get along...well most of us...some are bigger than others (myself included) :P But seriously, if MPG is a concern, a Jeep is not the answer. Even stock, they are not great & not many other true 4x4's as well for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSinclair Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I know that gas mileage is not good in an offroad vehicle. Have you all forgotten that I drive a V8 Toyota? He is just wondering what they are like as far a MPG goes so he can plan for the difference in fuel costs compared to his motorcycle. Your MPG responses confirmed the title of my post. Just answer the damn question. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Expect to be flamed on the internet when the question is one of lower quality and obviously easily researchable on google. :D Also without knowing what engine is in that jeep we cannot tell you.

The engine in that Jeep is a 4.0 inline 6 cyl. It should be good for about 350km/tank (71L)... about the same amount of kms as a tank on a motorcycle :P ! ...and that is REAL kms, not necessarily what the odometer/speedometer reads if it wasn't regeared to read correctly with the tire size & regear.

TomWood Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 My statement still stands James :D until you informed us of the engine. That sounds about right, now in my stock 95 inline 6 4.0L I get 500-600 per tank, closer to 450 if I go wheeling on the weekend. Actual KM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSinclair Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Sorry Tom. I thought it said 4.0 engine in the add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 No worries, hard to tell with the tiny picture of the engine as well, still think its a decent buy, however your buddy may have more fun with a stock one and modding it himself.

Eastcoastcam Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I would still go with the original one, but negotiate on the price...It is ready to go NOW, without needing work. There is still lots to be able to do to make it "yours". Peter does leave some room for negotiation in his price, as he did with his old XJ as well. But at the same time, he probably isn't in a big rush to sell either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Winch has definitely been used on the first one, but you would know it better than any of us James, having wheeled with it before. I would trust James' opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 You would also be hard pressed to find another 10 year old vehicle of any sort (motorcycles, equipment & such excluded ;) ) with the same or less KMs on it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 How the hell does Tom get about 2x what James gets to a tank of gas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 No mods, stock tires, manual... But I bet it is more like 450kms on average... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil'monster Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I got about 500km on the grand with auto and 32s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I get about 500 to a tank average, liberty would get 600 before mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
