My Cheap Jeep!

About 10 years ago I went by a local used car lot I had used before to talk to the owner. On the lot he had a 1987 Jeep Comanche 4x4 with only about 65,000 miles and in good condition.

The only problem was that he was asking over $6000 and I didn't want to pay that much.

I test drove it and said it was too much for my budget...and then I left.

I came back several times within the next few weeks and the Jeep was still there.

I finally asked the owner what the bottom dollar was to get me that Jeep.

He said "tell me what you will give for it?"

I said I would give him $3000 and he said that was way too low...and I then said "well, you asked!"

He walked away for a bit and then came back and handed me his business card with a number on the back and said "this is only good to the end of the week" (about 3 days away).

To make a long story short he let me have my Comanche Jeep for $3600 which indeed made my MJ a "cheap Jeep".
