The Jeep CJ for buyers

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no Jeep CJ for sale by us right now. This page puts the Jeep CJ in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

What to check on the CJ

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Reading the spec sheet

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

The CJ in everyday use

Being a van, it carries people and their bags without fuss.

When the CJ makes sense

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Try before you buy

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the CJ first, and buy only if it fits your life.

What it costs to run

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Choosing the right one

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the years of the CJ: fuel use and trims change from one to the next. The years table on this page shows where the CJ changed.

Rent it for a week before you buy

Buying the Jeep CJ

Does CarmaCars sell the Jeep CJ?

Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.

Can I rent a Jeep CJ before I buy one?

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.

Where do the figures come from?

Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
