Ladies and Gents,

Do you feel this is priced accurately?

I'd like some suggestions for Craigslist pricing. Obviously NDA/Kelly aren't accurate for these limited quantity vehicles, especially given internet price history for these vehicles over past year.

If you want best possible return, I think you should fix it first. Broken/non-functional vehicles tend to bring less than fair value (even considering repair cost). That's because the "unknown factor" plays a bigger role.

Thanks for great suggestion, 89Vette. I've highly considered this.

Any suggestions on where I could find a good working vehicross T-Case? I don't have time to rebuild, or replace with a non-standard Trooper T-Case.

Don't see why a Trooper w/TOD won't work as they literally have the same drive train. My 99 Trooper 5MT fits just fine with my VX t-case. The shape isn't the same, but the parts bolt together just fine.
