Would you wheel your rig if you were actively trying to sell it?

Wheel it while it's for sale?

Serious question. I am trying to sell my Jeep, but I still have the urge to hit some trails. Would you risk damage and either having to pump more $$ into it that you won't get back (or having to drop the price)? Or do you just keep it clean and ready to show to a prospective buyer?

If its built for wheeling and most likely going to a a fellow 4x4 enthusiast, then wheel on.

If its a clean mall crawler.... then wax it up and keep it rubber side down.

If you still have the urge to hit the trails, keep the jeep!

If I was selling a vehicle the last thing I would want to do is take it offroad. Any potential buyer looking at a vehicle and sees any mud or dirt on it, may have second thoughts about purchasing due to the fact that it may have been mudded.

Don't know how your luck is but with my luck if I took a vehicle offroad I was selling I would break something or hit something and cause lots of damage LOL.

Its up to you, if you got the money to beat the crap out of your vehicle and repair then then go a head, but I don't so I wouldn't do it LOL.

depends on how bad i wanted it gone. if it really needed to get rid of it, i'd keep it clean and non-broken. if i didnt care, i'd wheel the hell out of it like usual.
