 Jeep Wagoneer Front Right View

Looking for a used Jeep? Want something cheap? How about looking for something a bit different. The fact of the matter is that CJs are fairly common, and while you can occasionally find one that is cheap, more often than not the seller thinks he can get a few extra large just because it is a CJ. Why not keep your options open and buy yourself a less common model. There are plenty of Jeeps that may lack the characteristic CJ/Wrangler look but are just as stout, with plenty of good features, and as inexpensive as a pack of peanuts at your local stab and grab.
