Jeep is in profile..

 

Bought mine for $4000 and it was about the same as you described. Mine had 60k on the motor though.

 

So what makes it rare?

 

It's entirely dependent on your local market. $6k here, $4k where shoop is, $1500 in New England.

 

2 door 4X4 + 5 speed & power windows & locks..

 

Thanks.. that is what I thought..

 

Here finding a 2 door thats a auto is rare to me.But again a xj is a mass production suv none of them are rare to me.Rare to me means less then 1500 made ever.

 

I have 3 2Door XJs 4.0 autos, 2 are 4WD one is 2WD and 2 4door XJs that are both diesels.
Is that a rare collection?

 

The diesels are certainly more rare than any other jeep, at least here in the states.

unfortunately a lot of people willing to spend 4K on a Cherokee want a clean jeep, with low miles, and minimal upgrades.(so they can pick and choose what they want.)

If the body is mint and the interior is complete and clean then you may find a buyer, but here in the Chicago-land you'd be lucky to get 2500 for pretty much ANY Cherokee with over 150K

and as a side note I wouldn't necessarily call new u joints, bearings, ball joints, tie rods, even engine bearings, an upgrade as much as I would consider it maintained and repaired. Most Cherokees with that mileage will need those parts sooner than later, if not already replaced.

 

Yea I've been told my 2 door laredo (power everything) with the aw4 is quite rare but most 2 doors that i've seen are standards.

 

Wouldn't be worth much here in Jersey. Sweet xj though. I like my non power everything though

 

it's a 92 5spd 2dr with either 200001 or 299999 miles on it? I really don't see anything special about it. $2500 jeep around here if you're lucky.

 

Originally from Jersey myself, DE now but I understand what you mean. I wish mine was mostly manual, ripping the carpet out and bedlining makes the wires more of a hassle. Plus race seats mount to manual brackets which are different.

 

Yessir. I prefer my jeeps to have manual everything (except trans, love my AW4). Makes life easier and IMO, more of a Jeep. Don't get me wrong, power windows are a wonderful thing but it adds to the nostalgia when you grab that handle and crank that window.

 

Here's one thing that the older jeeps like mine can understand, quarter vent windows that many used to flick butts out of.
