For $16,995, Will This 2004 Jeep Wrangler Prove To Be Long On Value?
For $16,995, Will This 2004 Jeep Wrangler Prove To Be Long On Value?-March 2024

Today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe Jeep is a six-door, eleven-passenger, convertible-top 4X4. I’ll bet you didn’t expect to read that this morning! Once you pick your jaw up off the floor over so unexpected a combination of attributes, you can decide if paying its asking price is also a stretch.

Do you know the difference between getting an FJ and getting a BJ? An FJ’s for off-roading, while a BJ’s for off-loading. Ha, ha, ha, I just thought that up. I’m hilarious. The owner of Friday’s is hopefully laughing all the way to the bank as his former plow horse 4X4 came away with a solid 74% Nice Price win. Heh, heh, heh, off-loading...

What is it they say, laughter is the best medicine? Actually, Best Medicine is a song by the Stray Birds, but if you need to put a smile on your face then just check out this dealer-offered . It’s so over the top zany that I don’t see how it could engender anything other than a grin.

Now, it should be noted up front that this Jeep, while apparently still a 4X4, is not going to be tackling the Rubicon any time soon. Nor is it technically a limousine as there’s no bar, disco lights, or L-shaped lounge inside. It also lacks the typical huge sunroof through which drunken revelers can shout/puke/flash a boob.

What you do have is what looks to be a professionally done conversion to six doors and almost twice that many seats. It’s sort of the Human Centipede of Jeep-dom, only not with humans or the whole mouth to butt thing. Come to think of it, it’s nothing like a human centipede. Forget I said that.

Who did this? Well, the dealer - Extreme Motorsports, where this Jeep seems to be the only remotely even extreme anything on the lot - doesn’t say. I’m guessing that it came from (scroll down past all the T-shirts and hats), but even their stuff don’t look quite like this one.

Whomever made it, it appears to be pretty slick, although the top looks like it probably requires an entire jamboree-full of Boy Scouts to erect or de-rect. Along with its dauchshund-ification, this Jeep comes with all the regular Wrangler accoutrements, a 190-bhp 4-litre six and 4-speed automatic, radio, and a HVAC that I bet now struggles to accommodate the folks in the back rows.

The ad notes that the silver over grey eleven-seater has only 37,000 miles on the clock and that the dealership hablas Espanol! How convenient. Hell, they’ll even finance it for you. The question of course is what the eff would you ever do with a six-door, eleven-seat stretch-convertible Wrangler, which honestly sounds like something the Cat in the Hat would drive.

Let’s not delve into hypotheticals here, as obviously unless your name is Duggar you probably wouldn’t even have a passing interest in something like this. I mean, you don’t own a wild animal park do you, or a dwarf who keeps shouting de plane, de plane?

With all that in mind, do you think this stretch Jeep is worth its $16,995 asking price? Or, does that seem like a total long shot?

You decide!

Fresno () or go if the ad disappears.

The 356-based Speedster was famously dubbed the bathtub Porsche, after its upside-down bathing apparatus-like appearance. Today's 911 Carrera is claimed to have once been waterlogged, but would that make buying it mean you'd be taking a bath? Yesterday's witness protection program disguised had 66% of you both asking why the...

When Disneyland first opened, you had to use scrip to get on the rides, and the best attractions required an E-ticket. Jaguar's E-Type has always represented one of autodom's best, and most attractive, rides, but do the mods on today's '65 make it too Mickey Mouse? There's a different appreciation...

Remember back when the big BMWs didn't look like something Chris Bangle shat out? Well, not only is today's 740i not a bowl circler, it's also not an automatic. But does its price mean you don't give a crap? Despite a proclivity for spontaneous combustion that implied a sense of...

Soichiro Honda's fuel of choice in his youth was high-test sake. He marked his wedding by dancing naked, raced through a life-threatening crash and drove a car filled with geishas off a bridge. (Everyone lived.) Then he founded Honda and found his greatest success breaking convention. Yet here sits the...

It's not often that we have a non-runner here on , but today's Nissan Van is a rare survivor of the crusher apocalypse so even though currently immobile, it's still hot stuff. You know how to get a Kleenex® to dance? Blow a little boogie in it. Yesterday's audacious had...

When not fighting crime, Superman went by his nebbish alter ego, mild-mannered Clark Kent. The BMW 525i is likewise mild-mannered, although today's E34 is hiding something Supra. Despite that, will you find its price to be a crime? Under the sea! Under the sea! Darlin' it's better down where it's...
