    Forced to sell my beloved Jeeps

    Well I have to sell my jeeps to help buy a new house. I'm bummed but I also want to be a home owner so the toys gotta go. My wife is busy consoling me and assures me that once we get the new house I can get the jeep of my choice which is cool, but I've really grown attached to my two jeeps. Sorry for the depressing post. I just had to vent and knew all the good folks would understand. You can find them in the for sale section if your looking to pick up a couple of jeeps cheap.

    Noooo!! Just kidding, getting a house definitely comes first. Just be sure to stick around here - we won't make you feel too left out.

        I feel your pain. No one wants to sell those toys when they don't have to. I hope that money from Jeep goes to pay for house.

              Sucks you gotta sell your toys but smart move buying a house while they're CHEAP! In the long run it's a great move - short term pain for long term gain.

                    Thats the kicker I owe so had to put out 500 for uncle sam and with the money I spent to get the Cherk I'm tapped out. Yep found a house and got pre approved for a 0 down loan but they neglected to tell me that I would still need 1k for earnest money. So the jeeps gotta go so I can get a home but the wife promised that once we get in the new house I can save up and get a real nice Cherokee. Yep we found a house in Paulden.

                              The best thing about Jeeps is there is always another one out there for a reasonable price. Seems to me the best way to look for them is enter "ran when parked" on Craigslist and they pop up like popcorn!
