Would you pay 7.5k for this XJ?

Don't know where your located but there's a 91 Cherokee with 45k miles and a 5 speed for $5000 in glenwood springs colorado. For $7500 you could buy a fully built one and have some change to spare. Not worth it

Lets see...
Cons:
4 banger
Purple
No power windows or locks
Idiot gauges
No cruise control
2 door
Salt Belt vehicle
Pros:
Good body and interior (which may speak to overall maintenance history)
5-speed
NP242 transfer case (pro or con depending on your use)
I'd say it's worth about $2500-$3200. But even if you got it at that price, your still making some compromises that would be expensive to address or overcome later.
I picked mine up for $2650. Even with putting a new motor in it, a lift, a rack, lights, stereo system, new tires, and a HUGE laundry list of replacement parts form Rock Auto (about 60 parts), I only have about $7500 in mine.

I got one in the same condition with the same miles for $4500 with the 4.0 and two years newer. Take your time and keep watching craigslist. When I was looking I would search all craigslist within 400 miles and a nice one owned by an old man who drove it to church only popped up one day. I drove an hour and bought it the next day which was Thanksgiving day. Keep watching that one too, I bet the price will come down.

Hmm kicking myself for passing on a purple 98 2 door, 2wd, 4.0L, AX15, manual everything, zero rust and 160K for $700 with an idle issue. Was for my GF and she didnt want to learn to drive a 5sp the same weekend she drove it 700 miles home. Should of bought it and paid storage fee's for 2 months and tow it back home when I went. Stupid and now she complains about gas mileage with a 01 aw4 4x4 on 32's

If anyone thinks this is a good deal i have a 'make your own mud' kit for $20...just add water!
But seriously, i got a 99 XJ just as clean, with 106K on the odometer for 2800. Yes, 2 doors are hard to come by in Philly, but this price is just crazy. There will be much better deals out there, just wait.

I know it's a lot for just about any XJ, but good God. This is my dream XJ and I'd probably offer 6.5-7k if I had the money... It's a thing of beauty!
