Do Louisianians Not Sell XJs?
Ok, I've been looking for a new Cherokee for about 5 months now.
During those 5 months, I've seen MAYBE 3-4 XJs for sale... I live in south Louisiana and I see them on the roads all the time! I understand that they run forever but I find it extremely odd that no one is selling them.
I see other people on the forum all the time talking about how they have 3 or 4 to choose from at any one time and I'm lucky to find 1 to go look at.
So am I just not looking in the right spot (I've been looking on Craigslist, AutoTrader, etc.) or do people in Louisiana just not sell XJs?

When I was looking for mine, I had like half a dozen very nice ones to choose from.....you'll probably have to travel to find a state thick with them.

mississippi isnt much better trust me. If you do find one its a complete pos or its 2wd. I just bought my current one 6 weeks ago and its the first 4x4 ive seen in wonderful shape in ALONG time. thats why its in my drive way now 
. I mean this thing is a close to flawless as you can get for being a 98 with only 112K miles. Cash for clunkers did a number down here plus the major hurricanes a few years ago wiped out alot of vehicles so maybe thats part of it who know.

I used to live in Slidell and I didn't see a lot of jeeps on the road at all. I think we had to drive to Covington to buy my wife's GC. I don't remember why we drove to Covington but I think it was because the Jeep Dealers down there are pretty small. Not like we have here in Tennessee. The dealers here are pretty big with lots to choose from.
