Default should I buy this?

Hey guys,
This is my first post and I'm just looking for some feedback. I am considering buying this jeep tonight (see link below). I will be putting my wife and 7 month old daughter in it for a couple of years and I'm looking for something reliable and safe. Any opinions would be great. I called the guy and he said that all of the work has been done by a mechanic and that the only thing wrong is that the cruise control and horn are not working (no big deal). Thanks

Looks like a good buy if you ask me!

Just inspect every inch of it when looking at it and try and find little things to talk him down like oil leaks, worn mounts or bushings, etc. but I'd say it looks like a good buy

If it was closer to me I'd buy it! Been looking for a clean 4dr, especially love black XJs! And mileage is great too! I'd say it's a good buy... I'll trade you for my 2 door

Or offer $3000 and haggle to somewhere around $3500. Guy sounds like he's in a hurry to sell, take advantage of that.

Also, BE WILLING TO WALK AWAY. Thats the most powerful tool I've ever used in buying cars.


Yes, I'm that ******* you hate coming to look at your vehicles.

I would be a little skeptical of anyone who is unable to use spellchecker any better than the seller.
