Dealer has had this for over two years. Minimal miles since acquired. High priced, but just dropped it into reasonableness range.

Has anybody on here checked it out in the past?

Weird that the pic shows 85k miles but the ad reads 38k.

That is weird that they had the car for so long. Unfortunately Tulsa is a pretty good drive from where I live, otherwise I’d check it out. I know there’s quite a few members in the Tulsa area.

no it says 38k miles under market average.

btw not sure if this question has been asked: how hard/easy is it to roll back the odometer of this car?

I think it is hilarious that they photoshopped the car high in the mountains - do they normally sell Jeeps? 🤣

An accident has been reported on this car. Also, headlights look tired from the first pic. If a car sits for any period of time, it's usually not an exceptional one when priced over 10K.

I looked at that car in my research quite a while ago and it has an accident on the record.

I live in Tulsa. Muskogee is about 45 mins to the southeast. If I find myself out there, I will take a look. The price isn't bad for a dealer. I'm wondering why they have had it so long. I've worked at dealerships, and they generally like to keep the inventory fresh. I would think they would have sent it to an auction.

The LS is like most modern cars with non mechanical odometers, pretty easy to change the miles with the right chip read/write equipment. MOst modern cars it takes 10 minutes to remove the gauge cluster and 2 minutes to change the miles to anything you want if you have the right equipment. Never trust a used car's odometer unless it matches maint history and car fax. That why a clean car fax and a maintenance history is very important.

Yup. Mileage is just a number........hell I reset my truck to zero after it's restoration and just marked the real miles in the title. Makes it easier to track miles on the new everything (I only kept the frame and body panels)
