Don't know - the link worked for me.

**INCOMING OPINION**

Just seems like someone who took care of their rig would also take enough care not to snap lousy midnight photos at a petrol station to sell it.

You may save some money now getting it cheap, but I would be wary of what it could cost down the road and what I don't know about it - especially when a few more grand will get you half the km, maybe even from a dealer with more responsibility in the sale. I did a search under 15k for a JKU and there are options in there that would make me feel a helluva lot better about the vehicle I was buying.

Cut guards and 18" wheels suggests (to me) thats not the way it was when it was being used. I'd be giving the engine bay and underbody a good going over before offering anything.

If you're using it for a farm vehicle or a comp rig then it might be great.

I agree, for a few more dollars, you could buy very similar for a lot less kms. I also wouldn't trust a vehicle's condition when all the photos are either taken in the dark or in shade.
