Pass. He’s looking & hoping a collector buys it at that price. The “Golden Eagle” pays tribute to the older mid 70’s Golden Eagle. It’s basically a Jeep with stickers

Kind of what I was thinking-I know I have th fever right now but dont ant to make a several thousand dollar mistake. But fall is a nice time to drive with the top off I would imagine.

NADA values the Rubicon at $14000 with the mileage addition. I don't know if the Golden eagle is a Rubicon with the stickers or if it is a sport package with stickers, but either way, he is charging $6000 for the stickers. As was stated above, unless you are a collector looking for a Golden Eagle, that is not a good buy.

Besides what BigPig and unclebubba have pointed out, I'd make darned sure you get a history on this Eagle. Find out where it came from. Lots of vehicles turning up that went through the Houston flood and the Gulf Coast hurricane. Can't be too careful. . .

That’s a no go. Should be able to pick up something easily under $15k. Mileage is low but it’s a Jeep. I’d pass unless it’s something you are really wanting. Much better deals out there.

Jeeps are crazy, depends on how much you want that particular Jeep because they do not make them like that any longer.
I sold my 2005 Jeep Wrangler Rocky Mountain Edition with 27,000 miles on it 3 years ago for $18,000 cash in a couple of days of listing it. It had half doors, soft top, 6 speed manual transmission, small 2.5 lift, and mud tires on it, I paid $16,000 for it in 2006 with 15,000 miles on it.
Crazy that I had it for nearly 9 years and sold it for $2,000 more than what I paid.
