Nice try. I get that you want a Jeep, but your rationale is horrible. You need any old SUV or minivan.
OP here. I have thought through and pretty sure my logic is sound. I know what types of pieces I am moving and you don't. The question is where to buy a used Jeep--the why doesn't matter.
But you are wrong!!!! Those of us who have Jeeps love them with a burning passion - but a good vehicle for moving things in - not. Not horrible but not great. Plus, they resale high - it's why I ended up being a new one. You are not going to find a deal on one. SUV, Van.
OP here--please read my original post. You are not answering my question. I asked best place to buy used Jeep. I did not ask where can I get a deal. I did not ask your opinion on what type of vehicle I need. I asked best place to buy used jeep--that's it.

Are you hauling a trailer, then yes. You cannot get furniture in a Wrangler. I have tried. Its very small.

If your heart is set on a Jeep, I would look on Craigslist or Autotrader as the main ones. If you find one that looks good and drives well, you can arrange for a nearby garage to give it a good once over inspection. This will typically cost about 100-150 dollars to the buyer.
On an additional note, Jeeps are one of the most modified vehicles out there. I recommend finding one that clearly has not been touched. You don't want to play that game.
I want something that has a hard top and easy to load--these are antiques and not too large. I considered a pickup but think it would be harder to secure items.
A jeep isn't a work truck.
It's not a work truck.

I got mine through Craigslist. It was 10 years old with 17,500 miles on it. Same price as some of those with six digits in the odometer. Thing of beauty.

If you are talking about the gladiator, then that makes sense. I have a Wrangler and the interior is very small so no furniture. You can use it to tow. I saw some ok prices on Hertz/Enterprise but ended up buying new. They hold their resale well and people ask too much for them. You probably need a pick up truck.

a jeep is not the vehicle you want. access to the rear cargo area is not easy and straigh forward, the wheel wells in the back also limit storage.
honestly a pickup truck for moving furniture is the ideal way to go as you can easily add extra tie down locations. to keep items secure. plus if you need to carry something tall sky is the limit.
another option would be, and don't laugh, but a honda odyssey minivan has enough flat space behind the driver seat with all the rear seats removed for a 4x8 sheet of plywood to lay flat. if you need to have something covered.

Join some Facebook groups for Jeep owners in this area. They are Jeep enthusiasts and are very helpful in telling you what to look for in a used Jeep. Rust is a serious issue on some. They also may have intel on heels coming to the market. Facebook marketplace has a lot of jeeps tho and much cheaper than dealers. Just did the same thing you are doing.

I am in need of a used Jeep for hauling furniture and supplies for my 2nd business. I am thinking a Wrangler would be good. I have looked at all the online sites but it's hard to tell a good one from a bad one and a lot have over 100k miles one them. Any suggestions on best way to find a good one that's affordable?
