Is this jeep worth it?
h ttp://www.brownsjeepchryslerdodge.com/used/Jeep/2007-Jeep-Wrangler-Patchogue-Long-Island-b0734e630a0d064901405ea927bd597a.htm
for those that don't feel like clicking the link these are the specs on it
'07 2dr Jk Rubicon
4 Walker Evans Beadlock Rims
4 Mickey Thompson 315/70/17 AT Tires
Not sure about what lift it may have
43,xxx miles
The thing that has me questioning it is the price: $18,000
Is this too good to be true?
Someone help a newb out looking to get into a jeep.

I'd say go for it! but check thinks like skid plate, if it's dented bad you'll know it's been abused, hows the tailgate? loose tartly? then it's probably been abused. but even with abuse that's a good price

Just because a skid plate is dented doesn't mean it has been abused. Mine looks like a roller coaster and it's been used, never abused. This is what happens when you play on the rocks.

The VIN checks out as a Rubicon and seems to be clean.
Crank windows suck but everything else looks ok
Lift looks basic. If the beadlocks are real (I am not familiar with the brand) they are not legal in most states but if you are willing to do the maintance on them they have their place.
Tires look worn and there are only 4 (Cheep guy did not replace the spare)
KBB says it is worth 21K +/- so it books good.
BUY IT!

First, go look at it. There can be something not in the pictures that warrants to low price. Take it to a shop you trust for an inspection. If you like it and are worried about mechanical issues, ask about a warantee. If everything looks good, offer them $15,250 for it. Work you way up from there.
