a friend of mine has an 84 wagoneer whats it worth?

 

What shape is it in? And how much are you willing to give him for it?

 

Pretty good answer! 84s are pretty old and were powered by V6s and I4s and carbs. Few if any experience from me on them.

 

If it has a 2.8 V6, run like your on fire!! That motor is junk!!

 

Scrap prices being what they are now the days of $50 XJ's are gone but that's what I paid for an 86 with a 2.8 less than a year ago. Beat the crap out of it and then traded it to a junkyard, the motor still ran fine tranny leaked everywhere and still pulled good. Could have bounced a basketball through the driver's floor.

 

Depends on the shape of it i would have to say. What is the guy asking. I am a waggy lover and if you are mechanically inclined i would pick it up and do a engine swap. If there is any rust on it RUN LIKE HELL. But if he is asking more than 500 bucks i think you could do better on craigslist. I bought my black 87 for 700 bucks.

 

???? is it a XJ Waggy or is it a FSJ(full size Jeep)?

 

Good question i just assumed XJ waggy like mine.

 

 

its the xj, no pics as of yet, im not buying it i read on this forum a while ago i forgot what post something about the 84 waggy being rare and i was telling him about it. it needs alot of work and i was telling him may be he could sell it to make a profit. ill talk to him to see if he can snap a few pics.

 

Forget it then, there are plenty of inexpensive XJs out there. Take your time and find the one for you.

 

I found a nice 1984 waggy in Northern Wisconsin with no rust, interior looked like no ever stepped foot in it and it had 11,000 original miles. It also came with a plow. Then I found out after I popped the hood that it had the 2.8L but I took it for a test drive anyway because I wanted a daily driver. That 2.8 had no power what so ever, so if you were thinking about buying it, think about what you are going to use it for. I decided I wasnt going to settle for anything less then a 4.0L H.O.

 

so they arent worth anything not even a so called "collectors item"

 

No I wouldnt waste my time with one.

 

Are they unibody frames or real frames? if it's a real frame and you can get one for cheap you could put a nice 350 in it..
