It's a really nice looking XJ, good color, appears to be in excellent condition on the exterior and interior. Low miles for a 14 year old vehicle. Honestly, I don't think they're that far off the mark.
Then I got an absolute steal on mine a few years ago. Mine had 98k miles and looked like it was fresh off the showroom floor. Got it for $5000 from a dealership in Nashville.
Holy **** those are some crazy prices. These people thinking because they put their money in repairs that it should increase how much they sell them for!
Because they dropped a couple hundred for their throttle body spacer it's worth a thousand dollars over value.
However I do believe the ones that aren't ****ed with too much - crazy lifts - huge tires - bunch of personal mods - will go up in value a bit as the years drag on. They will definitely be harder to find as so many people make monstrosities out of their XJ's... Not to offend any of you fine people on this forum.
I actually found this on my windshield 3 weeks back. .. I'm actually somewhat offended by it. All I've been through in the last 4 years with my girl and they callously assume that they can just purchase it from me. Can't blame them from trying I suppose.
I didnt bother asking how much they were offering. Just told then she's not for sale.
i had a salesman come to my place a few weeks back and offer 3 grand for my ZJ! and its basically stock other than the 31s and the 2 inch lift. i said no way dude its my baby and my project.
I must be missing something here.I just bought this 1998 with 50000 original miles and by the looks of the prices around here im gonna retire after selling this one!I happen to know for a fact that its been in 4wd 4 times total and all of it on city streets.ok.....so whatll ya gimme for it??????(holds palm out )
People like that **** me off. Its salvaged because the roof is caved in and not safe to drive. Bought back from the insurance for $400 trying to sell for $2k. Then you have the idiots with the 4.5 RC lift with AAL not even full packs trying to convince people their jeep has the best lift money can buy. Or saying "professionally installed" like it means anything. No buddy your not hard enough to install yourself so you paid 4 wheel parts the $500 to install the crappy lift. You have no added value in doing so.
