Jeep has not been registered or on road since the rebuild and not sure what minor bugs the buyer might run into. Suggest shipping vs. driving hundreds of miles to avoid an unforeseen issue on the road. Possible I-40 corridor delivery or local New England delivery for the right person or price.

Balance via cash in person or US Bank wire transfer directly to my account.
These are the only available payment options. No overseas, no export, no customs paperwork, buyer must arrange own shipping.
I will consider delivery within a 200 mile radius of 02347 MA. Delivery option would entail being the winning bidder, sending deposit via PayPal and have cash ($100 bills) available at time of delivery before Jeep is unloaded off trailer and title handed over.
