I'd stay away from it or get something older, more robust.

Tell your buddy to to check the ground wire in the dash. The 97-99 wranglers have a ground wire that tended to come lose shortly after leaving the factory. His window motors must have been aftermarket. They didn't come from the factory with them.

As for buying a wrangler, I suggest buying the full hard doors and both a soft and hard top. Hard top for long highway drives (roadtrips), and the soft top for the summer so it's easy to pull the top back and get a tan.

Make sure you get a dana 44 rear.

She looked pretty good, so good I may just buy it. The paint had a few blems on it but I think the overall condition of this Jeep was pretty good. It was dark blue with 33"'s and a 3" lift kit. No dents and interior was perfect, even had the sound bar.

Don't forget to check out the 4x4 drivetrain.

for $3,500, it almost sounds too good to be true! good luck with it if you go for her.

3,500 for a 97 jeep wranger, with a lift, hard top and doors? what's wrong with it?

Nothing major. 4 wheel drive and drive train check out good. He bought this puppy brand new back in 97', he has all the records on it. Like I said the paint has a few blems on it, no dings or dents. I think most of them will buff out but if not I've saved a lot of the money from the purchae price that I could afford to have it repainted and be on the safe side when I decide to sell it.
