2003 Jeep Wrangler

• The tan-gold Wrangler Sahara is shown both with its hardtop fitted and with the top off and roll bars exposed.
• Paint, flares and bumpers look straight and glossy, with BFGoodrich all-terrain tires and a covered rear spare marked Jeep.
• Sahara Edition and Jeep decals on the sides are clean and intact.
• Ruler close-ups point out many small scratches, chips and scuffs on the front fenders, hood, doors and rear flares.
• The grey cloth front and rear seats look clean, with no splits or heavy soiling visible.
• No dash, odometer or engine-bay photos are in the set, so the instruments, mileage and engine can't be judged from the photos.
• No underside photos are in the set, so the frame — a key point on a Wrangler — can't be judged.

Money: At $16,900 the money buys a tidy Sahara with a hardtop and clean cloth trim; budget for touching in the many small measured paint marks, and the unseen frame condition is the one thing that matters most and can't be judged at this price.
