Hunnain my above mentioned points doesnt mean at all that your jeep is in bad shape.I gave you example of mine:
I purchased my above mentioned Suzuki Jeep against :
Purchased Price Rs:325,000
Rpl of Gear RS:18,000
(as the old one was
making noise & 4wd was not
working.more over it was a 4fwd gear
& I purchased a 5fwd upmodel gear)
Rpl of New Carborator Rs:10,000
RPL of new master cylinder Rs: 5,000
Total break service,new leathers,hand breaks etc
New rediator (as old one was leeking & week) Rs: 3,500
Hud changes & Altearations in Hud cage Rs: 5,000
Installation of rear seats & Poshish Rs: 7,500
(It includes floor complete rubber matt,
carperting,posish of fron seats)
Installation of Heater Rs: 4,000
Change of all oils,greecing Rs: 3,500
Change of Gnerator & other velectric work Rs: 2,500
Installtion of deck, speakers, lighter Rs; 6,000
Complete Kamani work Rs: 5,000
(Addition of 4 new paty,all bush

RPl of 3 foundations (2 engine & 1 gear) Rs: 1,500
Misc Labour (dentor,Poshis,mechanic etc) Rs: 2,000
Installation of CNG KIT (2nd hand) Rs: 18,000
GRAND TOTAL Rs:416,500
Now you can imagine one have to spend money to get the vehical upto the mark & satisfaction as well.
I Hope it clarifies the situation.A good SJ Long wheel base is very rare & hard to find.And if one gets the same it worth is about 400k to 450K.
Stay well & do let me know if you need any futher help from my side.
Stay well & Happy Jeeping as well as hunting.
