Default FOURTH try at buying an XJ

Hey guys. So I found yet another one, sienna pearl 2000 93,707 miles! It has no rust on the paint (some underbody like every single one I've ever looked at) except for one spot, that I'll show you in a picture. It is flawless inside and out but for one dent on the driver side door. Clean CarFax, but it's $7450 (from a dealer), while KBB has it listed at $6,957, so I can hopefully get my dad to bring it down (but I already told the guy at the dealership I liked it, whoops!)

So, if price is not the issue at hand, what do you guys think?

Here's the Jeep's page/pics: '00 Cherokee XJ
Here's the Jeep's CarFax: CarFax

EDIT: also wtf.. there are two BFG tires, one Goodyear Wrangler, and one Michelin...

Dana 30 and Chrysler 8.25 right?
Also, no hood light, is all the wiring there? And how's the battery in terms of quality?

Price is way high. Shop around some more. You can probably find one for 5k if you keep looking.

But it's in real good shape.. say the price is brought down to that, then it'd be a GREAT find, right? Also, it has low pinion since it's a 2000? I believe that's what I saw.

You can get one already built for less than that

I'm looking to buy stock cause I want to build it up myself. Plans include a roof rack, 4.5 inch lift, 32 BFG A/Ts, front bumper/stinger, winch in very future.

Haha I know! And I just checked AutoTrader and found this too, so if this doesn't work out I really might have to make the over 2 hr drive to check it out: CLICK I appreciate you following my threads man! Love the Jeep community. Took Dad's wrangler out mudding a little today, forgot how great the "wave" is haha... also figured out how scary death wobble is...

Sorry hit the send button...
If you are, buy one a little cheaper! And put re extra cash towards lift tiers and new parts. I bought my 2000 in perfect stock condition for $6k and now I'm kinda regretting spending that much money on it. Also I would look at anything under 1999 due to the head being weak on 00 and 01 models just my 2 cents. But that jeep Looks good!!
