HOOTRS
09-01-2005, 09:47 PM
well i guess my first question will be... what colour should my jeep be? im thinking black like angelina jolie (it has nothing to do with ppl saying i look like her, i swear!) or hot pink like a barbie? yeah im shallow but i dont have a jeep yet and i think colour is the most important

HOOTRS
09-01-2005, 10:28 PM
LOL at H.G. so.... soft, then hard, then soft? okay how about i buy a hard-top jeep wrangler, and then buy a customised soft-top? does anyone know how much the soft-top will cost me?

Jeff
10-01-2005, 10:23 PM
Welcome Maree

We get a few pranksters on here, hence the reason why some people are being a little skeptical.

You should find a wrangler or two in the for sale section, I'd also recommend www.drive.com.au - I've bought two Jeeps through that site. As for the colour, that silver is nice but is only available on 2000 or newer models (which means you've got to pay a little more). I also like black, but I'm a little biased. :mrgreen:

(btw guys, her IP address is not the same as anyone here!)

HOOTRS
12-01-2005, 04:02 PM
thanks Jeff! yeah ive been looking at www.drive.com.au and carpoint.com.au and i didnt really find any that i liked... but i do like that pink jeep that someone posted earlier... i am seriously thinking about buying it but i just wanna know details such as km's, price, service history etc. if anyone could get back to me on that, it'd be much appreciated!! xoxo

murray
12-01-2005, 04:24 PM
the pink jeep belongs to steve

HOOTRS
12-01-2005, 04:35 PM
thanks murray. i think pink is a gorgeous colour for a jeep because i dont think anyone, besides steve and Barbie(TM) have it

Barefoot
12-01-2005, 04:51 PM
Thats why Steve bought it in the first place HOOTRS,he adores Barbie and also the pink Power Ranger,he's got the outfit and everything.

Jeff
12-01-2005, 04:52 PM
thanks murray. i think pink is a gorgeous colour for a jeep because i dont think anyone, besides steve and Barbie(TM) have it

Oh man Steve's gonna love reading this :P

HOOTRS
12-01-2005, 04:55 PM
hahaha power rangers?? nah, never was a fan of them. but i did love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... i thought michelangelo was the hottest ninja turtle.... omg, did i just say that?
jeff, why will steve love what i wrote??

Jeff
12-01-2005, 04:57 PM
Cause we constantly give him crap about owning a nipple pink Jeep.

HOOTRS
12-01-2005, 04:59 PM
but its adorable!! its just what im after... if it wasnt a softtop. i really prefer a hardtop bc the zip-down windows are annoying, i find

murray
12-01-2005, 05:00 PM
steve if you sell it do i get a spotters fee 8)

Jeff
12-01-2005, 05:12 PM
You can get glass windows for soft top jeeps, that way you can get to enjoy the topless feeling without having to unzip your window.

example:

HOOTRS
12-01-2005, 05:46 PM
mmm yeah im aware that u can get a softtop with glass windows but how common is that to find? and steve, sweetie... i dont think i can afford shipping your jeep from where you live, to where i live! but i do love your jeep! why are u selling it?

murray
12-01-2005, 05:49 PM

Selling it because it's now too small for me and the family. Buying a 4 wheeler too.

And I have no idea how much it would cost to put it on a truck or train to Victoria????????

12-01-2005, 06:33 PM

Jeff
16-01-2005, 10:33 PM
I dunno about that, the tequila & sambuca shots seemed to fix the awkwardness last time :P

HOOTRS
16-01-2005, 10:41 PM
you guys have a jambo? im guessing its a jamboree, like a social meeting? am i wrong? lets have another one! and someone bring the sambuca... mmm!

murray
16-01-2005, 10:44 PM
now this is getting better :idea:

marree alcohol would make any meeting that these guys have better
any more leads on a tj yet

HOOTRS
16-01-2005, 11:08 PM
.... maybe i joined the wrong club? this IS a forum about jeeps right? not A.A.?
nah nothing yet. still looking. found a great ad in the trading post on a jeep and i keep calling the number but they're not answering. whats the point?

murray
16-01-2005, 11:35 PM
keep trying eventualy you will get through :D

HOOTRS
16-01-2005, 11:50 PM
yeah i know. the phone just keeps ringing out! its everything i want... moss green, hard and soft top, manual, air/con.... its my price too!

Fat Chili
16-01-2005, 11:53 PM
what year and how many k's?

murray
16-01-2005, 11:55 PM
try tommorow morning could be buisiness phone

HOOTRS
16-01-2005, 11:59 PM
nah its a mobile... thats the issue, i dont know how many k's so im a bit hesitant about it, but the year is 1998... and its 16,000... i think its safe to say this is a great deal?

murray
17-01-2005, 12:02 AM
sounds like a renegade by color and description
sounds resonable

murray
17-01-2005, 12:04 AM
and to be serious i am sure that one ofthe guys in melboure would check it for you

Fat Chili
17-01-2005, 12:04 AM
Sounds like a fair deal, your best bet would be to get one of the experienced mexican jeepers off this forum to go along with you. Not saying they should hold your hand but they will be able to tell you a good one from a lemon, but all Jeeps have very different characteristics...Its a Jeep thing.

Red is also the best colour, not black or silver.. :mrgreen:

HOOTRS
17-01-2005, 12:06 AM
mmm yeah... well the ad said its in glenroy and its a jeep wrangler sport. its not a renegade. and since its 1998 im pretty sure the km's would be pretty low? unless they drove interstate every week? i just wish i could get a hold of the person!!

murray
17-01-2005, 12:07 AM
best of luck :D

HOOTRS
17-01-2005, 12:09 AM

17-01-2005, 12:12 AM
it took me 3 weeks and 3vehicles to get the xj i wanted

Jeff
17-01-2005, 07:42 AM
For $16k I'd say it would have over 120,000 on the clock.

Have a look around underneath the vehicle for mud. If it looks like its been through a lot of it, I'd be wary.

The Jeep Jamboree was in October in Marysville, Vic.
200+ Jeeps turned up for Mud, Mayhem & Mucho drinking.

Here's a bit about it - http://ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10246

17-01-2005, 08:32 PM
Have I been told correctly?, but is the jamboree up here is Queensland this year? If so is there any details on where and when?.

Jeff
17-01-2005, 08:38 PM
Its been pushed back to 2006.

Buddha

So looks lke you will have to make the drive down to Coffs for the Easter weekend, and then down to cold Canberra for our JAD weekend.
