If you want a CJ, my suggestion would be a later model CJ-7. Just my personal
preference.

Before you go jeep shopping again, get a copy of Moses Ludel's "Jeep Owner's
Bible." It explains the differences between the various models and model
years, and what you should look for and look out for in a used jeep.

Whatever you do, don't fall in love with a jeep and put down your cash before
you get an education on jeeps and get the one you are interested in inspected
by a competent jeep shop. Thre are a lot of crappy jeeps out there that look
good, and some jewels that don't.

Thanks for the tips Robert. I don't know any details on this particular
Jeep. It may have been a basket case, but it sold the day after the ad hit
the paper and it was close to home (about 5 minutes away). I would have
liked to at least look at it. I guess I should get the book you mentioned. I
have been eyeing it up, and figured I would get it after I got a Jeep, but
now that you mention it, I would be better to get it now. I think for me to
buy a CJ5, it would have to be a pretty good deal though, as the shorter
wheelbase was a con. I'm not going to rush out and buy the first one I can
get my hands on, but around here even seeing a CJ/Wrangler for sale is
grounds for excitement. I will keep patiently looking, or I will make an
excuse to go on a vacation somewhere and find one that way, LOL.
