It’s fair to say that you rarely make back what you spent on an overland build and generally accept a considerable loss. Obviously, you will see a return in other ways; for example, if you’re living in it full-time, you can be mortgage and rent-free—but the direct sale can be heart-wrenching. The trick is to find a reasonably priced overland vehicle where most of the work has already been completed; in a perfect world, the rig would be built by a professional overland company. Cue today’s listing—a 2014 Jeep Wrangler built by the highly respected American Expedition Vehicles (AEV). This stunning Jeep was originally purchased for $66,548 and is now available for just $43,000 OBO.
From the Seller:
“Full AEV build with almost every option except the V8 swap. It even has the $3,000 AEV leather interior option. It has been babied; it’s built for overlanding, but most of the trips have been without much off-roading. I’m really OCD, so it stays spotless other than when camping. It has covered 94,000 miles but will slowly go up as it is my daily driver. There isn’t one single issue with the rig; it runs just like it did off the lot.”
