Considering a 95 XJ with 230k. Seems to run good and trans seems fine. A/C works. One rust hole about the size of a nickel on the right rear roof near the corner, but no others that I can see. I can get it for $900. Is this a good deal?

 

i would atleast try to talk him down alittle

 

I did...from $1200. Still too high?

 

id say its not a bad deal then

 

Heres some pics i took

 

Seems like a pretty good deal.
I like that is already has a hitch, and the tube bumper looks to be in pretty good condition.
Also has some offset rims with some BFG ATs, hows the tread on them?
Have you tested the transfer case?
Everything under the hood look good?
If so I would wave $800 cash in his face

 

Under the hood looks good and it seems to run and shift well. Forgot to check the transfer case. How would you suggest I do that?

 

even though it looks like a jeep from florida? i would look at the floors for rust, salt water from the ocean, and the mud there will eat the floors out, but the body will look fine, i live in pa and my project cherokee is like that

 

The nickle sized hole in the roof has me concerned.

 

Put the jeep in 4x4 and drive it. Accelerate hard to see if it kicks out of 4x;. I didn't do that when I bought mine and it would go in 4x4 but the tcase chain was jumping. I'd buy that jeep for 900 tho.

 

I looked underneath but didnt see any signs. Doors look good too.

 

Yeah...was wondering about that, but didnt see anything else. Is that a common rust area?

 

On loose ground or asphalt?

 

U can do it on asphalt. All ur trying to do is put load on the tcase. U will either hear grinding or it will jump out. That's what mine did. Don't drive miles in 4x4 on asphalt but do it for a min. If it's bad u will know right away

 

Also where in Florida are you located
