We are looking for a very specific Gladiator. We found one locally, but it had a rebuilt title and the insurance cost woudl have been insane. We found two others, but they had had a light grey or white interior and my wife took one look at the interior and said "Nope"
Google searches are not that productive. You get different offerings from big listing sites like Cars.com, Kelly, Autotrader, and Carvana,; but then there are individual dealers that pop up with Gladiators that do not show up on any of the big sites. I imagine there are private sales and auctions that can be found too, but no luck yet.
I am pretty good at these searches, but I have very little time as I am dealing with personal crises for my father, a brother, and one of my kids (people tend to rely on me to solve big problems, because that is what I do for a living), as well as trying to get our house ready to sell, buy a smaller house, prepare for retirement in a few years, . . . This is a really difficult time for us and our spare winter car just died, so we are forced to try to find our gladiator sooner than expected.
I know there are some people who enjoy this kind of search and would love the help. If not you, then you already read too far. If you want to help, this is what we are looking for:
Necessary/Must haves:
Important/Things that we will add, so we hope to find a JT with these already included:
Would be nice/Things we will add eventually if it does nto have them:
Location irrelevant but closer to metro Detroit is better. More than 700 – 800miles needs to have a really good reason to go that far out. We can do a fly out and drive back, but time is really hard to come by right now.
Minor dents and scratches OK.
No rust. No Rebuilt/Branded title. No warning lights on. No battered undercarriage.
Thanks.
