Default 1990 xj worth it?

I found a 1990 xj with a 2 inch lift sitting on 235/75/15. It has a np242 with a Dana 35 rear. I've heard that the d35 isn't that great. I don't know much about the np242. It has power ever everything and abs. The price is $1500. Is it worth it or should I hold out?

It's a pioneer with 150k. Body and underside were rust free for the most part. I'm in pa just outside of philly.

well the 1st thing is it is a Limited not a pioneer... which is the highest trim level it looks to be in good shape the only factory things that look to be missing are the the gold wheels it is suppose to have and the spare tire cover... as for the condition .. Does the ABS work?Do all the power windows work how does it drive? any better pictures of the front was it hit?
it seem like a fair price for this area...
here is a 2 door 5spd I found in your area if you want to go check that out 2....

also what do you means rust free for the most part?

any service records?
