I must be crazy

I had a 2001 Jeep, it got cancer (rust) and passed away, I replaced that Jeep with a 2004 Jeep with no frame rust, I plan on keeping it. Now I have my eye on a 2009 Jeep Wrangler X with 108,000 miles. The guy is asking 7,950.00 Firm, it needs tires, brakes, and tie rods. So other then cancer which in Maine is a huge issue what else should I be looking for? (Other then a shrink because I must have issues)

Why is it missing the fender turn signal. Make sure the frame is not bent. Could have been in a ditch.

Did a little digging (Ran the vin, on my app VinCheck) on this Jeep. The Jeep was sold on Auto Bid Master that sells damaged vehicles online awhile ago, I think I'm going to pass.

Yeah, there was a reason it was only 8k.

Yeah, there was a reason it was only 8k.

It's like the saying goes, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't".

This Jeep is case in point.

Offer half the amount. sell the wheels, fenders & doors. Make it a project warm weather vehicle.

Here's what I think- guy cut part of the front frame out for the snow blade. Snow blade was too heavy or he hit a few things with it; broken sway bars, steering box issues all resulted.
Before I tell him I'm not interested, I'd ask why he thought butchering the vehicle was a good idea? I'd crawl underneath the front end and see for myself what he took a blow torch to.
