I went to purchase a 2006 QC with supposedly only 33k miles today however a number of red flags turned me off. Perhaps these are normal or the truck simply sat outside in the weather? Truck went from CA to FL to NM to IL over the years, been through a few auctions.
Oil / ps lines actually looked clean and dry.
-on the hood right above the grille the paint was very faded with many spider cracks. Similar on the rear bumper that faced up towards the sun.
-every door gasket was dry rotted and split.
-headlights yellowed, door handles faded gray. I've had a handful of same generation WJ Jeeps over the years and even they were never as bad compared to these.
-rear main seals a common issue? Front bottom of the bell housing showing an oil leak, not transmission fluid.
-why would the dealer remove the standard srt bed cover and replace with linex? Trying to hide something? In the four months they have had it they never even put the hard top tannou back on and it's missing the wing!
-were electric running boards standard? I never seem to recall them in any overview or review.
I hope to find a clean crystal black or gray 2006 QC soon!
