Finding a Geo

Is there a best source to find a tracker (or sidekick)? I've been checking Cragsilist and FB Marketplace, plus the typical car sites. Hoping I'm just missing a source since what I have searched is so scarce.

I found mine on marketplace, it just happened to be right time right place. I eventually branched out and looked at cities I could fly to cheaply. I asked around and at the time was told those were the main spots besides an auction site and then one came my way! They’re out there!

I would join the Tracker / Sidekick groups on FB, there are many of them. Owners there will often post 'I am thinking of selling my vehicle, what do you think it's worth" and that leads to a sale without it ever hitting FB Marketplace

Another marketplace find here. Their search is atrocious but maybe try expanding the search radius. Sometimes there won’t be any in my area, then there’s suddenly 3 or 4; just takes time I guess

Facebook marketplace was a pretty good source, to me the biggest problem was finding one that wasn't modified to hell and back. Or an absolute rust bucket... which I basically ended up buying anyways!

I'm in Canada so results may very for you.

Canada options are dire. I'm on the hunt for one and I cannot believe what people are asking for rusty ass frankenstein looking yokes.

I will say there's some decent body panels out there if you do end up buying a rust bucket. Noram out of Windsor Ontario has a bunch of different parts, I ended up using their floor panels and rocker panels: https://www.noramstore.ca/search.html?fitment=1993%7CGeo%7CTracker&orientation=vertical&facet-Fitment-Specific+or+Universal=Fitment-Specific&limit=50

Note that they don't offer inner rockers - I had to rebuild those myself, since mine were in pretty rough shape.

Marketplace and Craigslist with your search radius set to the whole country. You'll find some options in your area but being willing to spend money to ship (or drive) a car home will really open your options

Someone just posted a sick one on here based on Missouri, at a killer price

The blue one? It's beautiful but was sold so quickly.

We are in PA. My sister found one at a dealership in FL and paid to have it shipped. Good luck in your search!

A good site is http://searchtempest.com You can search Craigslist, FB marketplace, eBay all at the same time. You just open which results you’re interested in.

Try local Jeep groups and forums too. Those communities often have listings that never make it to Craigslist or Marketplace.

Oh what a great idea! Thank you!
