The cleanest, rust free, lowest mileage XJ I've ever seen in my life

Update: went to look at it before work(Saturday) not there.  Checked the web: sold!

I had an '89. I don't even think it had a radio. One of the best damn vehicles I ever had. I had the budget lift kit and 30" yoko's. Spent more on the tires and wheels than I did on the truck. Climbed like a billy goat.

It's a 20 year old car with almost 100k on it. I know Cherokees had kind of a cult following and that looks like a decent specimen, but I think "I've never wanted for a vehicle so much in my life" is a little excessive... a JKU will walk circles around that thing in every measurable way, on-road or off.

Be jealous of this then:

For $1,500 I got an XJ country with 110k in mileage.

For about another $1,000 I'll be almost in the same condition as yours.

Indeed it is. I'd offer them $4750 cash. It's 20 years old and supposedly has 90,000 miles on it.

 



My '90 XJ had well over 250,000 miles on it when I got rid of it. The straight-6 engine and the Asian-warner AW-5 transmission are bulletproof. I don't know about the years after '91 but the old XJs were great rigs.

That had to have spent the majority of it's life outside of the rust belt. Sad thing is when I see someone buy an older super clean vehicle and put it on the road in the rust belt it ends up being just as rusty as the rest after one or two winters.

He has access to the Carfax report.  Interested whether it's an Illinois car or not, and then again the area of registration doesn't mean anything.  Low mileage, easy to check for rust.

I've a 2004 daily driver vehicle I purchased in Illinois with zero rust, just need to check it out before he buys

Little high on the price, but it is a very clean XJ. I'd say fo, but try to deal them down to 4-5k. Then lift it and throw on 31s!

My last one was a 94.  I bought it for $600 with 240,000 on the clock.  In three years I put another 40k on it, four tires, and a starter.  It had a rod knock the whole time, the radio and the AC didn't work, and I never rolled up the windows or locked it.



Finally the transmission pump let go, and I gave it away to a co-worker just to make room in the driveway.  It's still rolling around Mansfield, still has that light rod knock.  It's probably rolled over to 300k by now.

My 93 XJ looked like that when I bought it 12 years ago.

For real, an older couple bought it new, then the man died.
