On the right side, click on "More Info".
Then click on the "EMAIL US" link.
That will send email with that specific contract # to the staff.
Just ask any questions you have in that email.

Try it with one of the other TJ's they have listed (2005 and 1997) and post up the price here.

I bet the bidding on thet Rubi never makes it to the reserve,. Just remember, there is always a reason why they're cheap.

That '97 could go for dirt cheap.

I just went to see these auction Jeeps...
I was so happy to get back into my nice, clean, non abused Rubi, those things are just junk.

It more then likely can get away with new rod bearings for which would likely take it another 100 plus K.

But, thats why you shouldnt do auction vehicles unless you can do the inevitable repairs yourself.
