it is a 1989 jeep cherokee 4x4 pioneer for 2,000 this is what the oner sead about it "Well maintained, Jeep Cherokee pioneer. 3" lift. alloy wheels, 31" Mudder tires. chrome rear bumper, tow package upgrade. Reliable both on and offroad. Owned by mechanic, low miles for age. mostly highway miles. Great value. All scheduled maintenance, Custom wheels, CD player, Ice cold A/C, No accidents, Non-smoker, Runs & drives great, 4x4 gears work perfectly, Very clean interior, Brand new belts and water pump. Paperwork and mainanance records included. Could use minor TLC, Small crack on windshield corner."
ps it has 206,000 miles.

 

looks to be in good shape. check under it for rust though. i know these will run for quite a long time, but for 206k 2 grand seems a little high, even with some upgrades. for comparison on this, i paid 8 grand for my '01 with 67k miles.

 

I don't think it is unreasonable with all of the add ons. I bought my 96 for $1200, but it came stock and I'll invest well over $800 to lift and put bumpers on it. Then again, I have less miles, and a newer rig. understanding that there is a ton of personal preference, I'd hold off for a newer model with less than 200k on the ticker. Then again, a complete maintenance history can be priceless and a lot of folk really do like the older rigs. What are you planning to use your XJ for (DD, dedicated trail rig, or somewhere in between)?

edit: Where do you live? Location is a big factor in vehicle values.

 

im planing on using it to do some traile riding out in the desert when i tow my yz250 out just kind do like jaw bone canyoun and ocotillo wells and stuff like that i live in long beach california

 

Do you want it pre-built or do you want to do it yourself?http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst...071456869.html (1998 $2k but stock). No mention if it is 4x4 or mileage, but that is a good deal there. I'd think you'd have a ton of XJs available to look at in your area.

it's in nice shape, looks good with that pre-runner front bumper. if it's from around the california area, there should be little rust.
but those wheels are steel, not alloy. even better tho. paint them black and they'll look nice.
200,000 miles is a lot. that's almost 322,000 kilometers. it's a lot, but i've seen some with 450,000 kms.
at least a low mileage engine is pretty cheap and easy to change out.
tow package upgrade might be lucky and have a d44 rear.
2g is a lot in my opinion with that mileage, maybe 1500 or b/o. but it is a non smoker, so that holds value.
if you really like it, barter with him, if he's motivated. not many others will want a vehicle with that mileage....

 

im kinda looking at pree bilt for now becaus i dont have that mutch $ for up grades if i got stock i would have to wate for like 6 months till i could aford enything

 

and i have a short block in my back yard for the same year so if this engen blows i have that and it would be like new

 

take it for a good drive and check to see if it has the d44 rear end if it does then I would jump on it and chances are you can talk the guy down a bit if you have the cash in hand I would try for 1600-1800 dollar range.

 

looks like a nice jeep.
yeah the miles are up there, but its a xj. looks super clean and maybe he took amazing care of it.

 

 

see if he will take 1500 for it. looks nice has some upgrades but high mileage need new window. it is up to you i would pay about 1500 to 1800 for it though

 

Mine was $2500 and its a'94, 3" Skyjacker doubleflex, cold-air, TB spacer and has got 265000km (165000m) on it. I think that ones a pretty good deal, but I bet you could still get him down a bit more.

 

i agree try to talk him down, but it seems like a good buy i always try to talk people down it usually works

 

Tires also look like they have alot of wear on them
