looking at buying this cherokee, i just wanted some opinions on what you guys might pay for it. It has a little rust on the rockers but still solid. Things it will need:

Rear main seal leaks a little
driver side regulator (2door)
ball joints

thanks everyone!

 

this does also have the better head with the distributor I think a few earlier ones had them and later ones that year did not

 

Looks nice and would be a great starting point for what ever you wanted to do. Price is low compared to what they want around here.

 

If you get this one, clean the engine and SEE where it is leaking. There are several places where our XJ's will leak and it will LOOK like it is leaking from the RMS and it is NOT. Ball joints are fairly easy to replace. I can't help you with the window as I haven't ever had to fix that yet.

 

Price depends where you live that could be cheap or high,Look around craigslist more see what other nice xjs go for around you.To me 2200 to 2500 is what i would pay it for it.Look up the blue book on it in your area and see how far off his price is.With it having some problems use that to talk the price down.And cash speaks louder then words.

 

book price in youre area is 4200 for good condition frankly id love to see anyone selling a 99 anywhere in that shape for 2500 as the person above me suggests
looks like a fair price to me offer 3500 and see what happens dont forget to show up with a pocket full of hundreds

 

Ok thanks i will check that out, ive been doing some research on the ball joints and i have a mechanic that can help me do them...thanks for the info too!

Very true! i am i plan on taking cash if i do decide to get it thanks!


yea i looked kbb says around 3900 fair...although with the issues i was curious, i may offer him 3500 for it maybe even a bit lower, its worth a try lol

 

Like i said depends where you live what jeeps go for,In Kentucky cost of living is lower so everything else is too.If a jeep sells for 5k in state it could be 3k in another.

 

I like it. Around here it would be a good deal as long as it is as described.

 

That is a sweet xj. Seems like a decent price from where I am at.

 

I Must live on the other end of the state from you.

 

alright sweet thanks everyone, i will be lookin at it again here come friday so we will see!

 

sweeper you do im around Louisville outside the city stuff gets cheap.

 

Pretty clean. I'd offer 3300 and see what happens.

I paid $2000 for my 98 2 door with 120,000 miles and it was as clean as a 98 could get. I happened to be in the right place at the right time, and wouldn't expect to be able to buy it again for less than 3500.

Its funny because I believe KBB subtracts a couple hundred for 2 Doors, but it seems like they usually sell for more than a 4 Door would, especially 97+.
