Buying the 1982 Jeep CJ

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1982 Jeep CJ for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 1982 Jeep CJ before buying one.

What to check on the CJ

NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

Specs, explained

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

What to expect from the CJ

A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.

Who the CJ suits

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the CJ for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the CJ answers more than any brochure.

Running costs

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Year and trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
