what did you pay for your xj? - Page 5

Chero93 · 01-06-2009, 08:20 PM

just bought mine this past sunday.paid $750 for it. '93 sport 4x4, auto, 153k miles, 4.0L HO engine, lot of new parts including brakes. the rocker panels are all rusted out, need to fix them. previous owner backed into the drivers side rear door and that is smashed in and cant open. other than the rocker panels, minumun rust. engine runs good, does have a noise though. ac needs freon. i think i got a pretty good deal.

Mine was free to me. Wife ordered it new in 97...a long time before we were together. I bought her a BMW and she gave me the 10 year old XJ to be my daily driver. I think I have more fun with the Jeep!

You buy me a BMW ('96 M3 Convertible in Blk w/ Char. Grey interior, not being picky), I'll give ya my Jeep too!

Traded a pickup I had bought for $1000.00 so I guess I paid $1000.00

gearheadette · 01-10-2009, 02:18 PM

Wow yours looks alot like mine. I got mine in the divorce, but he traded my civic for it, I love it, so I got mine free (didnt pay for any of the vehicles)

Derrtydave · 01-11-2009, 09:56 AM

Ah these have the older body style I miss. My first two Cherokees were 89 and 93, but up here in salty New England winter the body doesn't last long before rotting to pieces around the rocker panels. On my 89 even the shock mounts rusted right off in the front, and this was with regular washes.

The newer style Cherokees dont rust as bad (none yet on mine) but they look more Soccer-mom. I miss the edginess of the original.

Derrtydave · 01-11-2009, 09:57 AM

BTW nice tires on both of these. I'm on my 2nd set of Bridgestone Deuler Revos which are perfect for this size light truck/suv.

Paid $4000 for my 2000 w/111k June 08. Sold my 97 TJ two days later for $2900. Not bad for a $1100 upgrade.

97 TJ for $2900?!?
man i sold mine (which was only a 2.5 but auto with A/C and 96k and i threw a used set of soft 8's with 235s) and got $5700 for it! and got my 2000 classic with 116k in July of 08 with some random paint peeling on the roof and non working AC talked him down to $2400!
i feel like i stole it from him but he was going to a Prius and just didnt understand the jeep thing

*91limited-xj · 01-13-2009, 09:56 PM

$100. and i drove it home!!! it needed a new rear main seal and a valve cover gasket.

Mattster · 01-14-2009, 12:20 AM

$600 for the 89 I just got, runs but needs the crank sensor replaced as it has a miss and runs kind of rough, replaced the spark plugs as they were pretty bad and its much improved. Seats suck, drivers power window only goes down but the door is pretty trashed as I found out when I took the panel off, probably just replace all the doors with manual ones.
