To sell or not to sell...

right now i've got a 2001 XJ - classic, power everything, heated leather seats, real cushy ride for an XJ.

Its got 183k miles. In "Good/Fair" shape according to the KelleyBlueBook "condition questionaire" - only real down sides are cosmetic. 80% of the driving was done on highways at 70mph cruise control and averages 18.8 mpg over about the last 8k miles.

I have to replace the brakes, muffler kit, and engine coil to pass a P0303 fail for the MA inspection test.

My question is - do i bite the bullet and pay about 900 bucks, and bring it all back to life, or sell it as is...

"Fair condition" in a private sale would fetch me about $3k according to KBB....

Input, thoughts? Much appreciated on my first post...

Ohh 2001 XJ nice!! That is alot of miles but it is a 4L. If your doing the work yourself it could be cheaper to do. I may just do the coil and just sell it like that, but alot of jeep lovers would love get get a 2001 XJ. So depending on how it looks inside and if it still looks mint you could get more for it then 3k. That is what I think.
