hey i am new to this site and just looking for opinions. i just bought my first xj its a 2000 sport w/ 114k 5 speed manual locks and windows, new shocks all around bone stock jeep. i paid 3500 it seems to be in really good shape little surface rust spots but nothing big...do you guys think i paid to much... thanks in advance

 

Nope I think you got a pretty fair deal.

 

Sounds decent, not a great deal but i don't think you got ripped off

 

I paid 3500 for mine with 141k miles. It was the best deal I found here.

 

I think you should be very wary of any rust spots.

Rust will kill the XJ. Start searching for it and taking care of it now or you will have a mess like mine was. Click the my waggie build leak for what rust can do to your rig lol.

 

i dont think so..fair miles, for a fair price

 

you got your money's worth. get started on the rust spots and after that you can say that you ripped somebody off...

 

2-door or 4-door?

 

Really hard to tell without actually looking it over. I thought I got a good deal on an el camino once. After buying it I found out that the frame was bent, the windows leaked, the exhaust was actually vaccum. cleaner pipes and after hitting a porcupine I found out the floor boards where completly rotted out. I never did get a state inspection. But hopefully you wont have those problems. Do check your floor boards though. I looked at a lot of jeeps that looked good until I crawled undr them. I think they are prone to floor board and rocker panel rust. Sometimes I think I overpaid for my 90 XJ. ($1000.00 w/164k) But it's awesome. Wish I had bought one years ago. Just have fun with it.

 

Fair price. If you feel like you got a good deal then your golden.

 

you can't have a bad XJ. only one that needs "special attention"... battle scars are trophies.

 

Not bad, around here you really have to hunt to find anything with that mileage for that price that isnt a POS.

 

Down here a nice Cherokee can bring almost twice that. I looked for several months before I found mine. Cherokees are in demand here a lot of people use them for the beach. I looked at a 2000 Classic just before I bought mine and it was 6200.00. I first passed it up and went back a day later and it was gone. The highest price I have seen was 17,000 for a 2001 with 10 miles on it, never titled, it still had all the new car tags on it.

 

its a 4 door i have been driving it around all day and it seems fine. it looks like the floor boards are fine no holes or any weak points. frame was nice and straight... i did notice it needs an alignment but i can do that at my work for free.

 

ill try and put some pictures up (if i can find my camera)
