been on CL for months on end
http://humboldt.craigslist.org/cto/2775705148.html
$800. only problem is its 260 miles away from me
worth the risk? ITS GOT SOME PRETTY GNARLY RUST SPOTS
thats my only concern. I've also never seen a 92 with red interior
DOES THIS XJ HAVE THE AX15 TRANSMISSION?

The '92 xj laredo is highly treasured among many knowledgeable collectors (me).

Other than the color it looks just like mine.

I still need help talking my dad into letting me go on a 10 hour round trip for an unregistered rust bucket.
the rust really worries me.
but if I plan on cutting fenders and putting in a rear D44 and complete suspension lift, does it really matter?
whats the worst thing the rust could affect besides just really annoy me in the garage

my 92 (or 93) red laredo has grey interior, auto, 231, no power windows/locks and lots of chrome.

i got mine with about 80k miles (145k kms) for 100 bux. cleaner, but same rust areas.

don't get bent if this one gets away on ya, there's lots more for cheap.

this is the second decent one I've seen in months
I'm way too picky. I gotta have a 91-96 high output 5 speed 4 door
not as easy to find anymore
