Wondering if this is a good buy? Thought you guys would be able to help me? Also, he says he has 2 inch spacers. If i were to remove the 2 inch spacer would I have to change the control arms, t-case, or gear box? or would I be able to leave it with removing the 2 inch spacers? I am trying to stay around or under 3 inches of lift. Thanks

Seems kinda high. Its a nice looking jeep though.

 

I'd value it at about $4500. That's what similar XJs are going for near me, anyways. I suppose location makes a difference.

 

Keeping mind of the fact that him lifting it adds close to absolutely nothing to the price, same with tinting. If it did not have power locks before the keyless entry, that could add maybe 2-300$ worth of value.

KBB puts this Cherokee around $3,200 in my area. A rule of thumb for resale of aftermarket parts is a 25-30% payback, if you cared to quickly add up everything he mentions and add that to 3,200. I'm sure it still would not come even close to 5,000.

I wouldn't say that's worth 5,500, not even 5,000. But, at the end of the day it's only worth what you or other potential buyers will pay for it, I suppose.

 

Thanks for the help guys!

 

Green Classic , I was also looking at this one.

That is a better deal but should still offer him maybe 4500 to 5000. Prices have risen quite a bit since Cash For Clunkers so now I am not sure what is a good deal or not. All I know is my once very cheap cherokee is now worth upwards of 1500

 

Yeah I plan on offering him 5000 because he said he is willing to work on the price, but the idiot has yet to give me his address or number to check out the vehicle. Maybe he's not trying to sell it? I don't know what his deal is.

 

I'd say for VA the first one is worth about 4000-4500. the second one would be worth right at 5 grand.

 

I like the second one, I think the dark green on the Cherokee is the best color. $6000 is a bit high, though. I'd say about $5000 because it has really low miles. I got mine at 76,000 miles. 3 years later I now have just a bit over 100,000 miles.

 

i like the second one because it's stock. and with low miles, that basically means adult owned. probably never seen trail. so, there's less chance of things flying out from under the hood 6 months down the line. still, offer him no more than 5 grand.
you will have a whole lot better luck if you buy that and just keep an eye open for a different head casting, i think 7120 offers the best flow.
Year.......Casting No
1987-90......2686
1991-95......7120
1996-99......0630
2000-01......0331

0331 has known cracking issues, but it's not that hard or expensive to find a different one. i'm really happy with my 0630. just my two cents.

 

Where do I find this number? /\

 

right where the ports 3 and 4 of the intake manifold meet the head, i think.
it's on the head beside the valvecover.

 

Thanks for your help

 

anytime.
