Hi everyone. I've been looking on craigslist in my area, for months and months, for a pre-'97 4x4 2-door XJ Sport and one has finally popped up, in better shape than I expected to see one in! I plan on calling the seller to see it tomorrow morning. This is the information in his ad verbatim:

"Has a lot of new parts brakes, tires, battery
aprx 210 thousand miles on car
Replaced Engine with new Engine(not used engine)
When engine was replaced all belts, hoses, radiator water pump etc
Good solid reliable car. Detachable face CD Player w remote
Has two dents shown in pic.
AC is ice cold belt squeaks when turn on so may want to have it looked at. Has some other small flaws from age with some love could be better."

Also, the front bumper is bent in. I know you can't put an exact value on it without all the information, but given what's here, what would you guys say this Cherokee is worth around? Thanks!

Edit:
I found out that it has an automatic transmission. There is no rust anywhere. The new engine has 30,000 miles on it. The radiator, water pump, hoses and serpentine belt were replaced when the new engine was put in. Last week he replaced the battey and brakes.

I'm not sure on the year and you did not post it but will give you an idea that I have been using too buy for over 40 yrs. Check to see what the loan value on it is first then the sell price (private parity) fair condition using the mileage only and 4wd for adds. Then you will have an idea of what it may be worth at least and a bargaining chip at least. Just let him tell what he wants then counter with what the bank will loan if he is high on price.

Haha! Wow I can't believe I forgot to put the year!! It's a '96. But thank you I'll make sure to do that.

KBB, good condition, 2K. Depending on the amount damage it could easily slip to fair condition @ $1,600.
