Default Bought another XJ. Did I get a good deal?

Hey guys, I just bought this XJ on eBay for $2,500. I'd like to know if you think I got a good deal, if I paid too much, or if I just paid what it's worth. Link to the orignal eBay ad is below the pic. Let me know what you think.

i think its a decent deal just figure the prices for the tires and flares and bumper and lift that stuff adds up if your were to build one from stock. as long as it runs and drives good and there no rust.

That jeep looks nice for the price...The arb bumpers are solid (and heavy) as hell...you got to watch what winch you use or their will be a little extra work involved.

The ARB bumpers are awesome, but I'm thinking about selling that bumper and replacing it with one from Custom 4x4 Fabrications. I guess some might consider that a downgrade, but I'm just a fan of their bumpers. Plus I might come out a little ahead on cost as I think I could sell the ARB for more than the cost of the bumper I would replace it with. Just a thought. I'll probably live with the ARB for awhile first and see if it grows on me.

Ha ha, you would have to do a little better than that. After adding in transport costs from PA to TX I'll really be into it for about $3,350

You did good.

Are you happy with it? That's all that matters.
