Default Am I asking to much?

I've got my 2000 Jeep cherokee up for sale (Not on this website yet because I don't have 25 post) for $4,900. It's been up for sale on various websites (craigslist, jeepforums, jeepsunlimited, etc) for the last couple weeks and I haven't had much luck. It's a 2000 Cherokee Sport with 100,700 miles. Within the last 2 months I've replaced the windshield, brake lines, shocks, rear tires, various hood parts (bellcrank, hood latch rod, spring, both hood latches, latch striker, hood cable). The car is up and running fine. Am I asking to much? KBB has it valued at $5,300 and NADA is right around the same price. I'm asking $4,900obo. Am I way of on my prices? It's not that people have told me its to expensive, I just haven't had anyone interested. Here are some pictures of it. I'm open to ideas and suggestions!

You have to consider that the job market is tight so user car sales is slow.

Here in MI that thing would prob only sell for $4000

Oh no, I guess I'm aiming a little high then. The lowest I could let the car go would be $4,600. I still owe a little on it. Thanks for the input!

Yeah. Your price is not rediculous, but it is higher end.

Also, The stuff you have replaced, is pretty basic Maintenence. That should not be factored into price.

at 4900, it should eventually sell, but you will most likely be sitting on it for awhile..

If you wanted to sell it within a week or two.. $3900 obo

So it seems that in a better economy I would be able to get the price I'm asking. Guess I'll have to lower it.

I need this thing gone so if anyone knows of someone looking for a nice cherokee, send them my way!

Northern climates don't bode well on Jeeps. 9 years in salt takes it's toll. I'd be willing to pay close to your asking price if it were a 1999 and a non-salt, no accidents, stock jeep. I'm surprised the Drivers seat doesn't have the token stress mark/rips on the side... Interior looks good.

$4,500 sounds about right in my area. I dont think you will have a hard time selling it considering how clean it is.

I'm going to keep it at $4,500 for awhile and see what happens. If someone wants to offer me something close to it, let me know!
