FOR SALE or TRADE
Ah ... okay. I really don't want to do this at all, but at the moment I'm kind of left with no other option. I just recently moved to Seattle and as much as I love this Jeep and do not want to get rid of it, it's simply uneconomical for me to drive in the city everyday.
My job requires me to drive a lot more than I had originally planned on, and I'll be needing to go on trips with my own vehicle very shortly (which this Jeep is fully capable of doing, but again, it's not being used for what it was built for).
This ZJ was built by Chris Bassett (CBassett), and was just bought from him less than five months ago down in the bay area. It crawls with the best, and doesn't do half bad as a daily driver, either.
I'll be able to send out pictures this weekend, but as for now, here it goes ...

Alright ... as far as what I'm looking for in a trade, would be something along the lines of a Subaru Outback/Impreza, Volkswagen Golf/GTI/Jetta/Passat (preferably diesel/TDI but whatever), or some sort of Volvo ... I don't even really know myself, that is kind of what I'm thinking, but I'm open to all ideas. Basically just something that has some cargo room, is a great traveler, and most importantly, something that gets decent gas mileage! I'll be traveling with my BMX bike and lots of parts! (I work for a BMX company)
Offers welcome as far as a straight purchase. I paid $8000 for it several months ago (which was still well worth it, it's an awesome Jeep), but I realize that whoever ends up with it needs some new tires and whatnot. So I'm thinking somewhere around the $7000 range.
(Again, I'll get some up to date pictures of it this weekend)
