WHat would it need to have done in the near future?
Thanks!

Suspension, steering, cooling, brakes, all could be possible maintenance items.
Tires - what size are they and how many miles. If they are 33"+ then has the Jeep been re-geared? If not that is not cheap to do. Is the spare the same size or did they cheap out and not match? Tires look squashed in - so it will need a lift if you plan to off road it and that can add up to $3-4K depending for something of quality.
Setup for towing - how many actual miles rolled up while being towed? Overall it looks pretty clean though. Miles are not a concern as long as the stuff I mentioned have been addressed. I would want to crawl around and under it before making any decisions. Would not expect much rust unless they went to Tahoe with it.
Is this a play vehicle or DD? Make sure you drive a couple others of similar release to compare. Price is a tad high but Cali market is strong for Jeep. The hard top is a plus.
