Got to post up picks to get a response people need to see what you got. And sounds like you have stock gears? And stick or auto.

 

sorry I cant access my pics at this computer, will add them later, also its located in Spartanburg, SC. and the gears are 3.55. I need to wake up a little more before I make posts next time, lol.

 

$7500 honestly seems a bit steep. To me anyway. But I've been called cheap...so....

 

If it has a tow package then it shouldnt have 3.55 gears

 

Mine has tow package and 355s

 

x2

 

I don't know... It doesn't have many miles on it and seems like he's done a lot to it. Depends on how clean it is.

 

Nearly 10 grand for a near 12 year old truck with 100,000+ miles?

Maybe I am really cheap. But I don't see mods increasing value that much.

 

If I had cash id pay 7k for it man.. its 2500 away from 10k. Its priced right and at most like 1k high I hope you get at least 6700

 

Don't get me wrong, I hope he gets asking price. Doesn't change my thoughts about it being a bit high priced. Especially with the economy being as rough as it is, and gas being so expensive.

But isn't that why this was posted? To hear what everyone thinks about it? I thought that was the goal of a feeler thread.

 

guy its a cherokee not a wrangler you want a ridiculous amount of money in my area of the country stealerships ask that much for cherokees with at least 80k miles and under not over 100k...and basic car selling you don't get back what you put into any vehicle you always take a loss you are kind of charging for emotional attachment

 

Kinda where I was going.

But seriously, OP, I hope you are successful!!

 

Yeah but he's done like almost everything I'd want to do to my jeep and if it's clean and everything works then I'd say he could probably get around 6k. I mean there's a difference between a 6.5" beat up bed lined trail rig covered in mud on craigslist for 2500 with 3000+ worth of parts in it and a really nice clean well built lifted xj... But that's just me.

 

Yes I understand what everyone on here is saying and they are all valid points. Fact is this XJ is not a trail beater. Its very clean inside out and underneath. I researched XJ's for sale for the last year all over the country and after looking at hundreds, I found around here $6000-7500 for stock clean XJ's with well over 100k on them, I thought it was a bitt steep as well but hey they are getting it. I also found my fair share of $4-5k XJ's that were well worn. And of course the $2-4K either were beat up trail rigs or needed alot of work and did not have clean titles. Of course there are always exceptions, and $7500 was just a starter, not firm.
Mine has been on the trails a bit but not abused, and its very clean. It has a clean title and even cleaner carpet, lol. I do understand especially on the forums that guys sell well built rigs for dirt cheap alot, and that you never get your money back for upgrades. That being said you wont find a Jeep this clean for less than $6k, and with $4k in goodies its still a good deal.
