I wanna buy a TJ ASAP!
 
Hey guys! I am new to Jeeps in general but not new to trucks.. I drive a GMC canyon and I sometimes go offroad in it

I have limited technical knowledge and want to gain more.

I am looking to buy a Jeep in the next week. Right now I am looking at this one:

1993 Jeep TJ SUV - Sudbury Cars For Sale - Kijiji Sudbury Canada.

I want to know, what should I look for when I go to inspect it? What are problem areas? I've never bought a used vehicle before in my life so I am a complete newb, but this deal seems great and I am really tempted! Give me your advice guys!

Is there any threads with common issues or problems?

Thanks for the help in advance!!

A 93 should be yj. Yj's have square headlights and leaf springs. tj's have round headlights and coil springs.Other than the obvious things check for cracks in the frame around the steering box and rusted out corners of the tub.

519 is a guelph area code, pretty south of where i am. i just checked out your classified listing as well, 14,900 for a 99 that's a joke. Can get a brand new 2013 base for 20,000
anyway GLWS. I am looking for a cheap rig 1500 or less

You should have posted that you were looking for a "P.O.S." Mr. "I have only bought NEW"
Maybe you should consider waiting until you can afford something better. Unfortunately I didn't realize you were short of money. Go buy your $1500 "Dream Jeep" that sir is a joke.

The hell is going on in this thread?

Anyway Mister OP, YJs ran from 1987 - 1995. Are you asking for advice on an actual TJ or just what's in that link?

One picture, only $800, as is... I'd say unless you have cash to blow and an empty garage it's probably junk.
