X2 my 2000 just hit 170k miles and I'm fine. It's definitely cheaper for preventive maintenance tho than to fix something that breaks...

 

thats some good input mr. white

 

Seems to me you are looking for a newer XJ (like I was) so that things like emissions issues are less likely, you get a nicer interior with more creature comforts, probably less worn, and hopefully fewer miles. Dude, it is YOUR MONEY in the end. If you want to/ can spend a little more $$ to get the XJ YOU want, why not? Especially if it's to be your daily driver! I'd put a stop to the rust in those roof rails with a quickness. . I agree with the " not every '00 and '01 will meet the cracked head fate" theory. I'm much happier to see you looking at this one rather than a salvage title!

 

Yeah the rust will be stayed and touched up asap if I get that. I'm gunna say I have $5000 and see where it goes from there. If the price is lowered enough, I'll probably buy it.

Also, what axles does it have? I don't think anyone verified my guess.

 

8.25

 

Look at those other ones I showed you before you decide on that one for sure. Just to make sure you aren't missing out. The other one that was similar in price looked better in the pictures and it might not need new tires.

 

I definitely want sienna pearl, red chili pepper, or gunmetal pearl tho. I've seen them all- trust me I've been stalking Craigslist haha. But thanks. I plan on buying BFG 32 A/T KOs anyway.

 

If whatever your looking at needs tires just dock it off the price just tell him itll need new paint and throw out a number that its cost to fix through an autobody shop dock off cost of new tires an u cant show him your reallly interested if u already did that which i think u said u did just blame it on your dad haha just tell the dealer you like itand want to buy it just your dad wont allow u to spend that much. Im sure tgeyll come down a bit

 

That's the plan of action. I don't think I'm gunna let the 00-01 0331 scare get me. Thanks for all the help. And thanks for the axle verification!

 

Yeah im looking to get a 2000 rught now but can anyone help me find the head numbers so i can see if its been replaced or not where is this number engraved exactly?

 

x2

 

I just bought a 2000, I would like to know where the head number is located too.

 

 

Lol at the Haynes, it has sections where it tells you to just "bring it to a certified mechanic"... I'm like then why the hell did I buy this book ?!

 

lol at people that have never bought one...
