Check the pans under the engine and the rear end…lots of stains on the floor…Still a good buy? I was interested in this jeep…
I think it would be unfair to judge too much from that picture. You really need to slide under and see how much gunk has collected underneath. Even then, it might just need to better sealed, which is a pretty cheap thing to do.
To me, the biggest issue is how it runs and drives and stops. Also, the rear floor might be poor, but check the front too.
Finally, given the motor isn’t original, the potential for restoration is limited, which reduces value.
If you go to look at it and still have questions, feel free to drop me an email @ d@ewillys.com
