This link will give you some info on the different options available for each year model. What year model are you looking at?

That is considered by many to be one of the best years. How many miles, 4 or 6 cylinder, auto or manual trans, 2 or 4 wheel drive, 2 or 4 door, and how much are they asking?

That's not a bad price for a low mile Xj, and yes 95K is considered low miles. Especially since the 4.0 is well known for seeing upwards of 200K to 300K before needing a rebuild.

Make an offer for a little less to offset the cost of AC repair and see if he will take it. Then lift it and get it muddy.
