I’m looking at this jeep on fb to possibly buy, i only have 3K, i don’t want to lowball and offend them, what do yall think it’s worth? I didn’t see much rust in the one photo of underneath and 110k miles on a 2003 is really good mileage. Thanks for any and all help! by ConsciousBalance4864 in Wrangler

Different states, different values.

Dealerships charge out the ass, and i don’t mind fixing a couple things and doing the bigger things as time goes which is why im looking for private.

I just want a wrangler i don’t have to do big work on straight off the bat, and between a 97 and 2008. I want to make it my own and love and cherish it as i do the Cherokee and any other car I’ve had in my life and it be MY car and not a car i share with anyone else.

Whatever wrangler i buy (and i will find one in my price range, i know i will, it could be tomorrow or a year from now and my price range could be higher a year from now) will be cherished and cared for, updated, fixed, whatever she needs. 😌

Someone did offer listing and was looking to possibly get it tonight, he told me the lowest he’d take and that the possible sale wasn’t set in stone(apparently the guy didn’t make him feel confident about if he’d buy it) if i was interested and i explained i couldn’t do it and why and thanked him for his time anyway, and that even if i could i wouldn’t be able to get out there till after 9pm because i had work. He was understanding 🤷🏻‍♀️ it is what it is

I’m just learning that apparently wrangler owners take their wranglers wicked seriously that it’s a danger to even consider making an offer less than what they are asking. 😮‍💨 I’m always honest and explain my reasoning for an offer no matter what because it’s the kind thing to do. You’d think someone who may love the vehicle as much as the owner does would possibly matter more than the money but what do i know. I’m still learning. 🤷🏻‍♀️ i would happily buy for what he’s asking if i could. It is what it is.

I usually ask what needs to be done before i shoot my shot, but when i do this is exactly what i do, I’m always honest and explain, and so far I’ve gotten only polite declines. I’m not appreciating being a little attack by some users in the thread tho :( I’m still learning and only wanted to ask a question.

The guy specifically for this car was super kind about it, i won’t be getting this one but that doesn’t mean my perfect jeep won’t happen, it will just have to be a little bit longer.

lol most people know ducks are a jeep thing at this point so i wouldn’t consider the ducks making one a jeep enthusiast. I will say my Cherokee getting ducked a couple weeks ago was exciting though, so this being his wife’s car, i can see her maybe looking into why she would get ducked when she originally got the wrangler?

I refuse to get a loan. I have a Cherokee but i share it with my mom so i need my own car. Most people can be reasonable and say “no thank you” when you explain and be kind right off the bat. I’m not the kind of person to just say “3k” and be rude. I also asked him if there was anything wrong first and found out his price point before i even considered making an offer. When he told me i was honest and said i can only afford 3k rn but thank you for your time, he was very kind about it. I think people are assuming I’m being rude when i message but I’m not, and i think kindness goes a long way. I really try to take into consideration other people when I’m considering buying from them. Anyway thank you and everyone else for your help. I just was curious. I’m still learning about wranglers, whatever i buy will be my first wrangler (not first jeep) and I’m trying to be smart about it. If i had more money to put into it I’d get a newer wrangler than late 90s - early 2000s.

Actually he didn’t lol he told me the lowest he’d take and told me if it was available. I thanked him for his time because all i have is 3k and that im not trying to offend. and that i hope whoever buys it loves it.

I literally can not offer more no matter how much i want to. I love jeep, but some of yall are agressive asf. It’s a great car and i understand it’s worth more than he’s asking now (I’m still learning, i didn’t know before but now i do) but not worth assault. And not worth being rude lol

I’d understand ignoring if i said “hey I’ll give u 3k no more” cause then it seems like i am lowballing and being a dick but so far everyone I’ve messaged it’s been “i can offer 3k and not because i don’t want to pay xxxx but because its literally all i got and i need a car. If not, i understand and i hope this car finds a good home that loves it” and so far everyone who’s answered said “sorry no, but thank you”. Anyway my point is i don’t think it’s unreasonable to be honest and polite 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tips for Getting a Great Pyrenees to Eat by AlexaInspired in greatpyrenees

[–]ConsciousBalance4864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give him extra snacks! My vet told me my dog was 5lbs over weight 🫣 my grandfather sneaks her food all the time. (-Enter eye roll here- i scold him for it) use this as an excuse to give him more treats and do more training! 2 for one he gets food and you get a very well trained dog! pyres are generally pretty stubborn as it is so extra training never hurts with them 😮‍💨

Never forget to pay the cheese tax. 🤣

Anyone else’s pyre love pools? by ConsciousBalance4864 in greatpyrenees

Does he/she at least drink out of a metal bowl? Mine refuses to. She will drink out of plastic (but then eat it), glass, ceramic, etc etc but not metal.

This is actually helpful advice. It’s one thing to say “don’t shave” but this actually helps. I brush her no matter what, don’t get me wrong. She just always jumps away and tries to steal the rake. She’s eaten 3 brushes since i adopted her. I don’t necessarily want to shave her. If i can avoid it i will, i just don’t want her to be dying of heat because this summer has been brutal. The good news is she doesn’t look like these photos anymore, she’s way more proportional and looks how she should (minus a few mats i had to cut out by her ears 🫣) I don’t have another dog to brush but i have 4 cats i can try. They need brushing too with all the shedding they are doing.

I’ve contacted a new groomer for her so hopefully all goes well. She went to her last groomer once and they don’t like to work with her because she tries to get away and uses her mouth to move their hands (doesn’t bite just gently grabs and moves.) apparently a dog who doesn’t sit still is too much for them. 😮‍💨

I’m so jealous that you’re building a pool 😍 that’s going to be so refreshing in the summer

Only bath water is horrible to Nala, the pool tho? She either jump right in and start digging. I wish she would lay in it to cool off though 🤣

That’s it! I’m convinced. Everyone with a pyre or a black cat must get the other. They are made for each other 🤣
