Is there an emoji thing of a face spitting out beer because it saw your price?
 
If 16.5k is what you are asking, how much do you have in it? For that amount, it'd better be super bad-ass.

sorry man, but for 16,500 it had better be linked with coilovers on all corners, full custom cage, ls swapped etc... looks like a $8000 rig to me and that is being generous. thats 3k more than i paid for my cj7 juggy on tons coilovers, 42s, gears, lockers, t-case work, factory new engine...

I agree with everyone else on price 8-9 range.

Unfortunately with custom builds whether it's a kustom car or Jeep. You almost never get back what you put into it. Don't base price of your receipts or the hours you put into it.
Custom builds are tough as not every ones taste in Jeeps is the same as yours.

If you're not desperate for cash, then start the price high and work down as time goes on.
 
Nice Jeep.I know you put your heart and soul into building this rig and probably most of the money if not more,went on parts and labor.It's hard to get that back in return,but I think it's worth every penny that you want for it.
The only problem for me is the paint.It doesn't do it for me.
Go for 16k and if you can't sell it keep it..."thumbsup"
 
Thanks for all the response.
While I've got more money into it than I'll get back, I knew when I put it up for sale I wouldn't get it even tho it had never been off roaded and only driven around to some spots for exposure on it.
I'm hoping to get some partial trade interest on so I can leave it at price for now. Most people who can do these mods themselves could built it for this much (or differently) so we'll see what the interest is like for someone who can't.
In the end, I've gotta decide if I can go to the lower range of what some of you are showing or keep it (and make my daughter happy) till I find the right deal in trade or sale that I can live with.

Thanks again. Lets hope for a good trade with someone who wants a rig to rock and get rid of their mall ride. (which is what my back can handle) lol
 
Ya i say keep at that price if your not in a hurry to sell.Who knows there are a lot of die hard jeep owners that never even seen it yet...
Maybe post it on some other types of forum or for sale sites..
i know for me our dollar sucks here in Canada that would be cost me 21K
Good luck my friend... "thumbsup"
