Found another jeep XJ
I found a 96 4 door 4x4 4.0 XJ 5 speed, this is the first one that i have ever seen a 5 speed in. Is this a rare combo? it has a ton of miles on it but it runs great. i am pretty sure i can get it for 1100 what do you guys think?

I don't know how everyone on here gets their XJ's for like a thousand or less, I paid $2400 for my 95 a couple years ago, 110,000 miles, but zero rust because it's a Houston vehicle.

That price seems about right, there is a '93 4x4 5-speed down the road from me for sale for 1200, paint is shot and it's got 243k miles. I think prices depend on location, I paid as much for my rusted out parts Jeep as some people seem to pay for decent condition XJs ($450).

i am still thinking this one over. It has 250k mikes on it. it only has d35 and a d30. but it would be an awesome candidate for a 4bt swap when it dies.

How can you make a statement like that? "Dime a dozen"...for five speeds? I don't think so. $800 for rustbucket with 250k on the clock and a blown engine is "a little much". I paid 1500 for a 94 with zero rust and a locker in back with a spare trans and tcase...and what I thought was a blown motor...and STILL think it was a good deal. $1100 for a decent 5 sp with what should be limited corrosion (Oregon) does not sound bad to me. I looked for months and never found a 5 sp in decent enough condition to bother looking at let alone buying. I've said it before and will do so again - everybody knows somebody that found a '57 Stratocaster in Aunt Tilly's closet and got it from her for $25 and there was a $5,000 savings bond in it. They never tell you they had to go through the Stargate to get it though.

My White 96 with the Aisin AX15 5 speed, NP 231, DAna 30 front Chrysler 8 1/4 rear(thats how you can tell if it has ABS from a distance, Chrysler 8 1/4 equiped XJs dont have ABS, late model Dana 35 equiped XJs have ABS) cost me $1800. The condition of this Jeep was excellent, drives like it has between 100,000 and 150,000 miles but actually had 241,000 when i bought it. Had been maintained well with Mobil 1 lubricants, and more importantly to me, was mainly highway driven. The life a Jeep has led makes a huge difference in how much its worth. Miles dont really determine worth to me.
