60k miles or less?

I have a pile of good distributors. They aren't less than 60k miles though. I have one with less than 100k miles...

Let me know.

What's the reason for less than 60k miles

Lowrange2

Must be one of those mileage obsessed folks.

I had a guy message me yesterday wanting a t-case with less than 80k on it. I had one with 92k on it and he refused to buy it... Because 12k miles is SOOOO much different. lol

XJwonders

lol that's crazy it doesn't make absolutely any difference

thx for the reply, but i found a jy one w/ 75 k on it, btw rebuilts will have a sticker on them w/ a none oem part #.

srb53150

much better chance it will last a good while yet,some oems have been known to go a 150 k. my 98 which i got w/ 128k on it needs a dizzy at 137 k , it had a rebuilt in it when i bought it, dont know how long thats been in it. never had much faith in rebuilt dist.

not mileage obsessed, mileage smart. if you wanted a used xj & found 2 for sale ,same yr. same model , same options, same price, both bone stock. one was 75 k miles, one was 125 k miles , which one you gonna buy ? same w/ used parts i'd rather try for a 1/3 worn out part over a 2/3 rds worn out part. one may be cheaper , but who wants to keep buying & changing the same part repeatedly.

there's a reason for not getting a low mileage stuff. Chances it's been sitting for long time and could have more rust especially if parked above grass for long period of time

To me. Mileage doesn't matter. As long as it was well taken care of.

My 94's has 210k on it...

Too bad I had one from a 98 with 61k on it.

I know what you're saying... but 75k miles vs. 125k miles? Same exact condition? It depends on what color it is. Mileage means nothing to me. Condition means everything. People who obsess over mileage miss out on a lot of great deals.

Had a guy ask how many miles was on an OEM radio about 2 weeks ago. I **** you not.

In all the Jeeps I've owned I've never once needed to replace a distributor.

srb53150

ive owned 4 xj's & 2 cj's over the last 25 yrs. , first time for me to have one need a distributor. but it makes noise bad when cold, had two mechanics tell me worn out dist. so i guess its so.

Lowrange2

Must be true then. At least you found a deal. I would have charged way more than it was worth anyway.
