If you’re looking for a clean, low-mileage example of a classic Jeep® Wrangler (TJ), this one might be worth watching. A 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport with just 30,000 miles is currently listed on BringATrailer at no reserve, with bidding set to end on Wednesday, October 8, at 1:35 p.m. EDT.
Classic Wrangler Formula –
Finished in Stone White (PW1) with a Black soft top, this two-door Wrangler stays true to the traditional Jeep recipe. The legendary 4.0-liter PowerTech I6 powers it, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and Command-Trac® dual-range 4×4 system. Known for its durability and torque, the 4.0-liter I6 was factory-rated at 181 horsepower and 222 lb-ft of torque.
Factory features include metal half doors, air conditioning, high-back bucket seats, power steering, and a roll bar. The Jeep rides on 15-inch creased five-spoke steel wheels wrapped in Toyo Extensa A/S tires, with a matching spare mounted to the swing-out tailgate. Suspension duties are handled by Jeep’s Quadra-Coil multi-link system with solid axles front and rear.
Mileage and Condition –
The Wrangler shows just 30k miles on the odometer, with about 100 of those added under the current dealer’s ownership. The seller notes a few cosmetic blemishes: the zipper on the left soft top door doesn’t hold at the top, the plastic windows have faded, and there’s a dent in the rocker below the left door.
A Carfax entry from 2011 indicates that the Jeep was involved in an accident, specifically affecting the right front corner, although the airbags did not deploy. Despite this, the Wrangler retains a clean California title and has recently passed a California SMOG inspection as of August 2023.
Paperwork and History –
Included in the sale are the original window sticker, owner’s manual, service records, and documentation. When new, this Wrangler carried a sticker price of $19,845 and was originally delivered to Shaver Jeep Eagle in Thousand Oaks, California.
Why It Stands Out –
The TJ generation (1997–2006) is increasingly appreciated for its blend of old-school simplicity and modern improvements over the YJ. Low-mileage, unmodified examples like this one don’t often appear, especially when offered at no reserve. For buyers seeking a well-maintained Wrangler with a manual transmission and the classic 4.0-liter I6 engine, this auction presents an opportunity.
Bidding is now live on BringATrailer.com, with the hammer set to drop on October 8.
