The above is my 2006 Jeep Commander that I smartly bought in January 2007 – about 6 months before I moved to Vietnam and left the Jeep parked in my mom’s garage!

I didn’t sell it before I left because I wasn’t sure how long I’d be over here, whether I would be moving back for good in December, etc.  But now that I’m going to be here at least through June 2008, and probably longer, it makes no sense for me to continue making payments on it, paying for insurance, etc.

It was only driven for about six months – from the end of January 2007 through mid-July 2007 when I moved over here.  It has 8,058 miles on it, and 90% of those miles are highway miles since i used to take MARTA to work every day in Atlanta and did not do much city driving.

It’s basically still in like-new condition.  A couple of minor door dings – nothing that can’t be popped out or whatever – are the only issues whatsoever.  The color is dark khaki – kind of a metallic gray/brown color.

This is the big, full-size Jeep.  It’s got a third row of stadium seating so can accommodate a lot of passengers.  You can also fold the second and third rows of seats flat and have a ton of cargo area in the back.

I don’t have the paperwork here with me, but it’s got all of the basics:  power windows and doors, A/C (with separate controls in the back), CD stereo (with an MP3 port for hooking your iPod up), cruise control, power driver’s seat, power side mirrors, keyless entry, etc.  The only thing I can of that it doesn’t have is a sunroof.

It averages about 19mpg, which is actually better than my old, smaller Jeep Grand Cherokee got – so not too bad for a vehicle of this size.  It drives great – much smoother, more responsive, and more carlike handling than a traditional Jeep.

When I bought it, it retailed for $28,000, but I am willing to sell it for what I owe on it now, which is right at $20,500.  I’m not trying to make any money on it – and won’t for that price – I’m just trying to pay it off so I can get out from under the payments.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, or knows anyone who might be interested, email me at orangwutang at [Google's email service].com.  It is currently located in Thomaston, Georgia, which is about an hour south of Atlanta, but I’ll be home in a couple of weeks and can deliver it pretty much anywhere.
