2WD XJ Jeep is a totally useless vehicle.
RWD back tires will slide out in the rain.
Forget the snow. Don't even try.
And crappy gas mileage.
Also, you totally overpaid. NO chance in hell you sell that thing for $5k. Try half.
You could have gotten a 4WD with 125k for $2500 in the Northeast.

I had a jeep for 4 years and I probably used I 4wd like a dozen times. As for the the fact that you use your 4wd in the rain completely baffles me. How long you been on the roads for?
For a jeep in great shape, with under 100000 miles, and dressed up cosmetically, I don't think 5000 is a completely unrealistic asking price. If no one thinks it's worth 4500 at least, I'll gladly keep her myself. I mean, that inline six will go forever and considering I paid 2400 dollars for that potential, I think I'm in really good shape.
What do you other cherokee'rs think? Is it me, or is it bimmer?

Somewhat both, yes most people look a jeeps in general as a 4wd offroad rig, but there is alot of people that dont wheel but simply want the look to cruise around town. I think thats where your market is. But even a 2wd jeep will go a lot of places other struggle in 4wd
I'm not scared, not one bit. If no one bites, I'll sit on her. I'm not in any hurry. I'm only gonna be in her around 3000 when all is said and done.
I'll be sure to let you guys know what she goes for when that time comes.

OP...you're good to go. Don't pay attention to Bimmer's nonsense. You're doing just fine.

Guess who drove for 3 hours through the back roads of Atlanta during the snow and ice storm in a 2wd cherokee. Glad I got off at an exit when everyone stopped. It sounds like you should be driving a scooter or a bicycle.
