I wouldn't, but maybe the leaf spring setup?

I paid $16055 for my '94 YJ Sport 4.0 with a sticker of $17500. I can't see
spending $17,000 for a used YJ no matter what the mileage.

Re: Ok, I'm not a huge fan of Collins Bros.....
 

Yeah, I'm with you. If the thing cost $17k in '95, I'd have paid about
$14,5k or so for it then. I'm just amazed they are even trying to get
that kind of cash. I thought maybe I was missing the pulse of the market
or something lately. I'd certainly be interested in talking with a
prospective buyer out of curiosity. Now if that was a CJ7.......
