If you need a car for your daily commute then this 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport will be perfect for you...if your commute involves war zones, mountains or boulder strewn muddy fields. It will also be perfect for the school run if the school is located on top of a mountain with no road access. This classic example in Sport trim is being auctioned next week now. Read on...

The Wrangler’s roots go back to the famous Willys Jeep of World War 2. And while it’s no longer the bone shaker it was in its early days it’s still very much at its best when dealing with terrain that would send most other SUVs scuttling back to the suburbs in horror. It’s a sturdy body on ladder frame design with lots of ground clearance and suspension travel making the Wrangler a true hero when you need to venture away from the tarmac.

Much like the legendary Land Rover Defender, it has introduced certain levels of comfort over the years but don’t expect it to be the most comfortable daily driver. The Wrangler doesn’t compromise on its stated intent to tame the wild - well, except for a CD player (not working), AC (not working) and power-steering in this case.

This NZ new Wrangler has done a few kilometres, had a bunch of owners and no doubt has plenty of stories. It has current rego and wof and is ready to go to work. And the auction estimate is just $7900 - $8900. More details here.
