Re: High prices for Scramblers
 

Last Feb, I had the cash for Lift/SYE ect for my TJ, before I loged on to order
a 4" Teraflex, I checked the paper one last time for CJ-7, and Found a
Scrambler local 3,750. Very little rust but ran great tuffy console ect. Put
another $500 right off the bat, SOA lift and what not over the next year.

I've had several people ask if it was for sale, It's not. But I Dumped the Tj
quick. There out there, People don't know what they have, or get in a bind and
need cash (what I stumbled into), Take your time, wait for wait for what you
want. In hindsight I would have not bought the TJ, and kept looking for the
CJ-8 from day one.

KBB ought to take that into account, but they apparently don't. Makes you
wonder if they just make up their numbers randomly.

I think that KBB is not a very good resouce for these kinds of collectables.
If you think about it, a Scrambler is more rare than a 67 Mustang, but the
Mustang is a known collectable and a Scrambler is accepted as being a worn
out truck. The fact is the Scrambler is either a worn out truck, or a
restored collectable, and not very many units are in between these two
extremes. And, the worn out truck can become a collectable for a reasonably
small pile of cash, making them more valuable than KBB likes to admit. I am
a huge fan of KBB, but mostly for more mainstream cars and trucks. They have
a Collectable issue of their guide, but I am certain the Scrambler does not
grace its pages, maybe it should.
